Background
SecureCloud+ was approached by Air Command to deliver a secure accredited platform which would fuse multiple existing feeds in real time across multiple classifications, to best enable operational planning and execution within the Air Operations Cell. This would allow mission critical information to be securely ingested, manipulated and shared – optimising tempo and decision making.
Due to the operational demands for Air Command, the service needed to be innovative and offer a collaborative immersive experience to facilitate improvements in efficiency and participation, whilst helping to reduce and control risk to their IT infrastructure. The client required the service to be scalable for multi-site expansion to align with operational demand.
