DODAF and Military IT Systems Development

We help US military agencies and government vendors think outside the SOW or RFP - the project at hand - to apply a 'systems' or macro view of unified IT architectures under US military control (DODAF); and also, of the environmental, tech architectures and real-world variables that DODAF has no control over.   Helping us to deliver a 100% success rate in high-difficulty, top-priority global national defense and Darpa initiatives. 

Too often, business and functional requirements ignore the operational context of other systems and technologies, causing programs to run over budget, behind schedule, or without delivering 100% success.

Flight Safety & Policy Innovation: "Air Space"

We never expected the day when Russian satellites would show up on our cell phones, inside America. It is not yet clearly known if the newest Glonass modernization allows Russia to 'hear,' 'see' and 'photograph' Americans - as China's Beidou satellites do. Whether that risk exists or not yet, Glonass satellites in US airspace pose a strong safety risk to military and civilian flights. And illustrate the need to redefine the vertical definition of national territory.

The diagram below shows how close Russia's Glonass satellites come to America.

• Signal Interference: Commercial jets fly at 5.6 miles; private & corporate jets fly up to 9.6 miles altitude - posing a strong risk of signal interference from Glonass, or Glonass interference of GPS signals used by aircraft. 
• US military drones:  Global Hawk and other drones fly at roughly the same altitude Glonass satellites fly at. Our drones should have supremacy over US airspace - without risk of collision or surveillance from enemy satellites.
