California-based Aerospike has joined BAE Systems’ Mission Advantage technology partnership to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities for the US Army and other defense programs.
Together with BAE, Aerospike will advance data mesh solutions using its real-time database to support the Army’s Unified Network, Army Data Platform, and other data-centric mission requirements.
Data mesh is a decentralized data management approach that allows various defense units and networks to control their data while ensuring secure and efficient access across the organization.
This strategy addresses the challenges of information distribution across the Department of Defense’s extensive network, including data surges that can overwhelm systems and personnel, latency (the delay between data request and response), and geographic challenges, particularly for military units in remote or hostile locations.
The partnership will “deliver real-time, mission-critical data at scale and help ensure technological advantage on the battlefield,” according to BAE Systems’ Director of Strategy & Technology Partnerships for the Intelligence & Security sector Daniel Perkins.
“Aerospike is foundational to our data-centric solutions for the US Army and DoD, as our customers push towards managing massive amounts of disparate data while leveraging advanced AI tools,” he added.
Aerospike Public Sector Vice President Cuong Nguyen described their multi-model database as offering “the lowest-latency, highest-throughput system to enable accurate, real-time decisioning even in contested environments.”
“As a vital component of the UNO technology stack, we’re proud to partner with BAE Systems to help them optimize and demonstrate the effectiveness of their data solutions,” Nguyen stated.
