The concept of network-centric warfare (NCW) and the growing network-centric capabilities of U.S. forces, are transforming how the free world fights.
The combination of new tactics, techniques, and procedures that a networked force can employ create a decisive warfighting advantage. But Network Centric Warfare must be information superiority-enabled.
The key goals of generation of increased combat power by networking sensors, decision makers, and shooters only succeeds in an information rich environment where access is quick and certain, and key knowledge can be sifted from the huge volumes of underlying data in real time.
IMC has proven techniques and solutions to information enable the most demanding network centric systems.
IMC's Defense Business Sector is committed to supporting the military readiness of our war fighters by intelligently managing data required for just-in-time e-Maintenance, just-in-time supply chain and logistics and capital asset management. Too many existing solutions for these activities are reactive, not proactive, and result in equipment staying in the shop indefinitely instead of being back in the field fast. Or they require officers to requisition materials by phone from depots that are overstocked with limited types of inventory instead of right-stocked with only the appropriate inventory. Largely manual solutions also fall short in accurately tracking what vehicles are deployed where.
- Are you plagued with unnecessary maintenance problems because you can't reasonably predict when a part will wear out?
- Are you waiting too long for out-of-stock parts to keep your vehicles on the road?
- Can you requisition the right materials and equipment fast enough to keep troops combat-ready?
- Can you pinpoint the position of your light armored vehicles so they can be maintained faster or redeployed as needed?
With our enterprise portal-based Integrated Digital Collaborative Environment (IDCE), we promote predictive maintenance using sensors that monitor the condition of equipment and issue status reports via networked computers so you can proactively maintain equipment like light armored vehicles. The system also lets every level of command determine material shortages, place orders and monitor the shipment status of requisitions-in-process via PCs, laptops and broadband networks for near real-time intelligence about acquisition operations. Conversely, depot personnel can stock to demand which eliminates guesswork and dramatically reduces storage costs and out-of-stocks. By electronically tracking equipment like tanks in the field or vehicles in remote warehouses, our solutions also lower equipment loss and hasten redeployment.
We also specialize in physical and electronic storage and records management solutions for documents that must be rehoused from closing or down-sized military bases and Continuity of Operations and Disaster Recovery (COOP/DR) facilities for DOD agencies.
