CASE STUDY: USAF Strategic Air and Space Basing Enterprise Repository (SABER)

USAF Strategic Air and Space Basing Enterprise Repository (SABER)

The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Basing (SAF/IEIB) manages the Secretary of the Air Force’s strategic basing process. Air Force strategic basing operations requires critical information to be organized and disseminated to Senior Leaders for tactical decision making. The legacy strategic basing management platform/application called Strategic Air and Space Basing Enterprise Repository (SABER), based on SharePoint, was inadequate for the organization’s requirement and had not been sustained or upgraded since its initial implementation and was unable to migrate to a cloud environment. As a result, the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Energy, Installations, and Environment (SAF/IE) was forced to use Microsoft standalone products to facilitate parts of the strategic basing process, inhibiting collaboration, eliminating access to accurate and real time data and reporting, and ultimately preventing internal and global integration and collaboration.

Omni is modernizing the legacy SABER platform/web portal application to simplify the overall business process associated with coordinating strategic basing activities. The innovative, modernized platform and web portal provides reliable access to accurate, real-time data and enables use of automated tools for reporting, improving the quality, efficiency, and auditability of decisions. SABER now streamlines strategic basing operations, improves accountability and transparency, ensures on-time delivery of reports, and increases time for strategic planning.

Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML)

Compiling data isn’t an issue –– determining what data is available and making sense of the vast amounts of information to translate into actionable, informed decisions is the real challenge.

We enable our customers to not only ingest large volumes of data in real time, but through the use of cutting-edge data integration tools and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), apply advanced automated methods to categorize, generate predictions, and detect data anomalies. Our experienced team monitors the various facets of data available to continuously identify new analytics opportunities to assure mission readiness.

In working with Omni, your team can quickly and easily gain critical insights and pinpoint important trends to confidently inform decision making.

CASE STUDY: NGA Metadata Cataloging and Management Services (MCAMS)

NGA Metadata Cataloging and Management Services (MCAMS)

NGA provides critical support to the national decision-making process and the operational readiness of America’s military forces. Their mission is to provide timely, relevant, and accurate Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) in support of National Security objectives. To remain operationally effective within a fluid, unconventional domain, NGA must advance in capability and analytic methodology. Previous production systems lacked the tools to manage products and assets. NGA intelligence producers used a series of disconnected / unintegrated legacy systems in combination with collections of COTS products. Together, they are counterintuitive and insufficient in meeting mission needs and as a result, analysts were unable to discover and reuse assets to create new products.

Omni provides software development and software engineering support to deliver the Apollo Metadata Management System (Apollo). Our software engineers, architects, and data engineers built the system on an unclassified development platform that can create, tag, and track metadata of legacy and new geospatial assets and products to enable discovery and reuse on all three domains. Through the Apollo user interface, an analyst or decision maker using the Apollo system can review and edit the metadata tags for work products and add comments and ratings to those products to facilitate collaboration, discovery, and reuse. This empowers users to efficiently provide and gather insights from data on an enterprise-wide basis. Apollo addresses the need to neutralize the challenges introduced by a complex data landscape, maximize the value of its assets, and empower data analysts to efficiently gather and share insights from those assets.

Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps)

We integrate security at all phases of the software development cycle and shift security left –– conducting security testing earlier in the development process to ensure it’s baked into the design, execution, and adoption utilizing DevSecOps best practices.

It is our inherent drive to deliver software quickly without compromising security and quality, at the speed today’s missions require. We work with all customers to establish key performance indicators with corresponding acceptable performance levels to ensure an effective and tailored solution.
