Advanced Collaboration Enterprise Services (ACES)
Multi Domain Collaboration
Why it mattersAdvanced Collaboration Enterprise Services is made up of two SBIR technologies: Photon and Carthage. Photon is a collaboration tool that facilitates distributed operations and integration between individuals, ops centers and collection platforms. Carthage is our DevOps capability that has served as a Cyber Range for several national level exercises.
About
Problem
Army, Air Force and Navy network don't talk to each other. “Each of the services has systems to maintain situational awareness. Getting them to integrate and talk together, how the procedures [and] policies that different services use, when to display what, was really the problem.” -- Gen. John Murray (Commanding General, Army Futures Command)
Solution
Advanced Collaboration Enterprise Services (ACES) is an SBIR technology that provides an "I see what you see" experience that allows for many-to-many collaboration over disparate networks.
Field Validation
Deployed to TS/SCI facility (NRO NROC) - Completed 2xMUAs and JCTD During the AWACS MUA, the Air Force documented that ACES reduced the time it took for ABMs to perform collaborative tasks by 20%. Technology Maturity (TRL): TRL 9. Can be deployed to INDOPACOM immediately.
Strategic Advantage
Attempts to reverse engineer ACES over the last 10 years have failed. Not many companies are involved in multi-domain collaborations.
Go-to-Market
We've leveraged the AFWERX and SBIR Phase III contracts. Currently, on a 5-year/50 million SBIR Phase III contract with the IRS.
Dual-Use Potential
ACES is a good fit for any firms that requires many-to-many collaboration, distributed operations and distributed training.

Primary User
The capabilities were developed via the SBIR program to connect the AOC/CRC with ABMs in the AWACS.
