Blueforce Command Center is a patent-pending software application for Windows laptops, netbooks, tablets, and servers that enables the rapid formation of tactical teams and facilitates rich information sharing amongst team members both as a “manned” endpoint, but also as an autonomous endpoint (non-human and unattended). The software, which can scale to thousands of subscribed endpoints, provides shared awareness and extended presence of people, sensors, and services; and it enables secure information exchange between them using standard cellular, WIFI, WiMAX, satellite, wired, and/or mesh networks.

Blueforce’s Tactical Presence Protocol fuses geo-location, network location, health, and sensor data into a presence heartbeat that is light on the network, yet provides complete tactical awareness as to where your people are and what’s going on around them. Command Center’s UI provides a just-in-time Dashboard that allows the enduser to construct a mission-specific view using drag-and-drop gestures. Furthermore, Command Center exports data in real-time to KML for real-time overlays on GIS or other C4ISR tools.

Blueforce Command Center is secure and extensible and provides a plug-in interface for integration of a multitude of sensor types and/or enterprise information services. This bi-directional interface allows for construction of plugins that “listen” and/or provide enterprise services out to the last tactical mile. Coupled with Command Center’s extended presence capabilities, the software provides a mission critical solution for life safety, mission efficiency, and the movement of perishable tactical mission data amongst team members and commanders.

Key Features

• Scalable and Interoperable: Supports thousands of subscribed endpoints and provides presence output as real-time KML for use with GIS or C4ISR systems
• Runs Manned or Unattended: Can be used as a tactical, manned command and control endpoint, or housed in a data center as an autonomous service platform
• Tactical Presence: Presence is more than offline, online, or away. Presence is about texture and context; this includes location, health, and status fused to provide complete awareness of each endpoint
• Mission Dashboard: Enduser configurable Mission Dashboard allows for easy drag-and-drop construction for monitoring of desired subscribed endpoints
• Secure: Blueforce uses FIPS 140-2/NIAP EAL2 certified cryptographic provider for authentication and encryption
• Information Sharing: Share pictures, floor plans, biometrics, and more
• Location: Geospatial tracking for outdoor use and wireless tracking for indoor use
• Extensible, Plug-In Platform: Allows person-attached, unmanned ground sensors, and enterprise information system data to be normalized and shared amongst the team
• Pervasive Computing: Runs on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 and above
