Traditional command and control methods are time-consuming and rely heavily on human resources. US Special Operations Command leveraged Aechelon’s visualization products to improve situational awareness and enable more realistic mission rehearsal, allowing pilots and aircrew to practice missions with real-time intelligence data. This shortened decision-making and provided intuitive perception and real-time reactions to events. Aechelon’s forward-deployed virtual sand table also allowed for multi-level command and control in one location to support local or remote collaboration.
