Platform Agnostic Mission Applications (PAMA)
GMW delivers a Zero Trust-enabled, mobile-first mission system that provides tactical awareness and secure data sharing at the edge, without requiring platform modification.
Global reach demands mission-ready awareness at the tactical edge. We have your back!
Mobility and tanker aircraft operate in contested RF environments with electronic warfare systems and mission data that update on timelines of months or years. This mismatch between threat evolution and update cadence degrades survivability, limits operator awareness, and constrains mission effectiveness during dynamic operations. Closing this gap enables a unified, in-flight Common Operational Picture (COP) at the tactical edge, improving survivability and mission effectiveness during contested ingress, on-station operations, and egress. This COP integrates threat awareness, blue-force data, and mission updates into a single operator-usable view.
GMW directly addresses DIU PROJ00662 by enabling Open Mission Engine (OMEN)-aligned, platform-agnostic mission applications that execute at the tactical edge, delivering validated mission and threat updates within a single mission cycle. This approach extends high-tempo, mission-cycle update practices proven in U.S. Navy and Royal Australian Air Force operations to mobility and tanker fleets.
90 Day Phase 1 Execution Timeline (Initial Integration by Day 15, Demonstrations Begins by Day 75)
At the core is CrEWS® Mobile, a mobile-first application paired with edge services that fuse multi-source sensor and mission data into operator-ready geospatial overlays. The system integrates track inputs (ADS-B, blue-force, and mission system data) with authoritative airspace, threat locations, and weapons engagement zones (WEZ) as synthetic overlays, alongside AORs, AOIs, and route overlays. Legacy aviation data (DAFIF, D-FLIP, NOTAMs) and emerging formats (KML, JSON, GeoJSON, CoT) are normalized and rendered through CrEWS® Mobile and Military Flight Bag (MFB) applications.
Mission Data File updates for Electronic Warfare systems such as the ALR-69A and emerging ALQ-251 are ingested and operationalized through capabilities developed, integrated, and tested under GMW’s CRADA with NAWCWD and U.S. Navy and allied partners, supporting routine monthly update cycles and rapid-response updates within operationally actionable timelines.
In contrast to platform-specific, hardware-bound solutions with extended update cycles, PAMA ingests and operationalizes authoritative mission data releases through government-approved data pipelines, including NAWCWD and other operational sources, delivering current threat information and mission context in DDIL environments.
PAMA delivers mission applications through a software-defined, platform-agnostic architecture that enables immediate deployment without aircraft modification. The solution is immediately demonstrable in aircraft-representative environments and aligned with OMEN objectives for rapid integration, operational relevance, and transition readiness, using government-furnished or representative hardware (e.g., iPad-class EFB devices).
GMW will demonstrate ZTEG as an edge runtime and orchestration layer supporting the government-owned OMEN modular application engine, enabling secure deployment, update, and observability of multi-vendor applications across connected and DDIL environments. This approach uniquely enables rapid deployment without aircraft modification, a key differentiator from platform-bound solutions.
The demonstration will show cross-platform mission applications executing at the tactical edge on mobility and tanker aircraft with in-flight updates, delivering current threat awareness and mission context to operators, enabling immediate operational evaluation and transition within mobility and tanker fleets (C-5M, C-17, C-130J, KC-135, KC-46).
