As the DoD works toward the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) framework to share sensor data across land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace forces, data captured and managed at the edge is enabling better and faster decisions. To achieve the vision, the joint forces need the capability to build applications once, deploy them in any edge location (forward operating base, vehicle, semi-autonomous weapon system, etc.), and freely migrate workloads to other hardware when needed.

MeriTalk and Red Hat explored:

• Edge computing advantages and opportunities
• Real-world examples of edge innovation and data interoperability in action
• What’s needed to create an infrastructure that enables DoD teams to achieve mission agility and resiliency
