Quantum: Proven Mission Information Workflows for Intelligence & Defense

Enabling Fast Capture, Shared Access, and Cost-Effective Archives with StorNext

Mission owners are challenged as never before. Increases in the amount of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data—combined with advances in sensor, precision geolocation, and packet capture technologies—have created tremendous opportunities for those who defend national security, ensure the safety of citizens, protect against cybersecurity threats, and steward our environment. But these technology advances create storage and archive challenges as intelligence analysts, military personnel, first-responders, and scientists all struggle to capture, process, exploit, and share the growing influx of data.

ISR data can include geospatial data from satellites, motion imagery from remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), optical, radar, and infrared sensor data, surveillance video from fixed towers or streets and mapping data. In today’s hyperconnected world, ISR data also includes packet capture data used for network forensics. More than ever before, organizations are collaborating across boundaries—so it’s not only important to collect, process, and exploit the data once, but to share it, collaborate on it, process it again, and preserve it for future investigations.
