Analysts are drowning in the amount of data provided by Army sensors and those of the military writ large. And often unsaid is the burden that this overload places on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver time, regardless of what is happening in CENTCOM or AFRICOM or in EUCOM, the demand for the aerial sensors has always increased,\u201d Mark Kitz, director of the System of Systems Engineering team at Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, said Aug. 9 during a panel discussion at TechNet Augusta in August, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur footprint forward has decreased significantly. The intelligence community has put a lot of investment and a lot of time and a lot of capability in putting sensors forward [and] having soldiers here in [the continental United States] processing those sensors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While acknowledging this is a great capability, Kitz said it places a significant burden on the network. This problem will only get worse in the next 10 years with the increase in boxes and sensors, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo the challenge that our PEO is relaying to industry \u2026 is: How do we get more information, how do we still deliver that accurate and timely information whether that\u2019s intelligence, whether that\u2019s video for integrated base defense, whether that\u2019s situational awareness on our survivability platforms?\u201d he said. \u201cHow do we get all of that capability that we need without burdening the network anymore? Don\u2019t assume that network is going to get thicker and broader and [be] there for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
