FusionNet: Connecting the U.S. Army to Mission Critical Data in Extreme Environments
|
|
Major Warner heads up the U.S. Army’s FusionNet program, a revolutionary system that allows
commanders to collect, access and disseminate mission critical data to and from the field,
anywhere, anytime. During this session, Major Warner will outline the Army’s needs that
sparked the genesis of FusionNet, the early stages of the technology, the challenges faced
in creating a system usable in extreme environments where network infrastructure is unreliable
and rapid deployment is required. Major Warner will discuss how these challenges were
overcome to create a solution that is transforming the way the Army collects, tracks, and
reports critical data on personnel, supplies, planning, and intelligence from thousands of
miles away. FusionNet is aligned with the Defense Department’s Horizontal Fusion initiative
that provides a general service-oriented architecture to allow cross-service communication
and integration.
Major Warner, just back from deployment in Iraq, will provide recent, relevant, real-world examples of
how this technology can be used in the field to help save the lives of U.S. soldiers.
