Building a Data-Centric Force

The Department of Defense aims to become a data-centric organization by treating data as a strategic asset that must remain interoperable and accessible across enterprise cloud, tactical edge, and disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments. A data fabric, defined as an integrated layer that uses metadata and continuous analytics to connect reusable data across environments, is presented as a way to replace fragmented point-to-point pipelines with scalable architecture that supports edge computing and AI-enabled operations. The Navy is applying this approach through its Logistics Information Technology program, which integrates supply and logistics data across key maintenance systems, and its Logistics Information Naval Connector platform, which provides standardized hosting for logistics applications. Confluent describes its role as a data streaming platform for these programs, consolidating siloed information on maintenance, supplies, and assignments to improve maintenance scheduling, mission planning, and predictive logistics while reducing system-integration time and costs.
