cyber, computerThe U.S. Army has partnered with Lockheed Martin to modernize an information technology system that works to help military personnel access and exchange multisource intelligence data.

Lockheed developed new software for the Army’s Distributed Common Ground System with the goal of helping the service analyze terabytes of intelligence collected from both manned and unmanned platforms, the company said Tuesday.

The branch is testing the Lockheed-made DCGS-A software as part of a multiphase technology evaluation process.

“From drones and satellites to ground sensors and biometric scanners, the amount of information that flows through the DCGS-A enterprise is immense,” said Rob Smith, Lockheed’s C4ISR vice president.

“We’ve worked with the Army to update the software capabilities and make it easier for analysts to expedite the intelligence to those who need it most,” he added.

The updated system will work to automatically merge real-world intelligence sources as well as convert data into a format designed to allow information sharing across the military, according to Lockheed.
