ONE DEMAND, TOO MUCH DATA
Updating or replacing military systems requires much more than just buying the latest equipment with more sophisticated features. These updates involve complex processes with consequences to defense budgets, personnel, infrastructure or inventory creating a continuous stream of data.
Process performance, condition of vehicles or spare parts, status or availability of aircraft are some of the data settings affecting military capability. Unfortunately, many defense organizations are not prepared to deal with this continuous data stream and lack the tools to compare the data, make the right analysis or have a clear overview on their capability.
IS BIG DATA THE FUTURE OF DEFENSE ?
Despite all that, advanced analytics is becoming more instrumental for MoDs and OEMs for serving the capability that defines the effectiveness of a military force.
For Defense, big data and analytics are not only trends, they are boosting readiness and capabilities all over the world. We can mention as an example the South Korean ministry that reduced about US$22 million of its military personnel operating costs in 2016 thanks to big data analysis.
MAP, MONITOR, MANAGE
