A framework for achieving data

said Mike Baylor, vice president and chief data and analytics officer at Lockheed Martin. “That’s enabling data-driven operations and improving speed, agility, insights and mission value in every domain.”

To take advantage of those advanced technologies, agencies are increasingly seeking to build a federated data environment — or data fabric — that allows them to discover, exchange and understand data across all domains, echelons and security levels.
“Collibra helps both government agencies and companies of all sizes build an internal data marketplace
that makes oceans of information — on everything from factory operations to the performance of individual parts and system components — more accessible,” said Aileen Black, senior vice
president of public sector at Collibra. Lockheed Martin’s data
marketplace, which integrates
Collibra’s Data Catalog, turns data
into a strategic asset to improve
the performance of manufacturing operations, speed up design and prototyping, and make supply chain operations more efficient, agile and secure. Data commonality, standards and interoperability among datasets and systems fuel collaboration across the company.

GLOBAL SECURITY IS a growing and rapidly accelerating challenge for government
agencies. Highly adaptive adversaries confront the U.S. and its allies in every domain: air, sea, space, land and cyber. The aircraft, satellites, ships and ground vehicles that military forces operate collect an abundance of information, but processing and analyzing that amount
of data can be daunting, especially given the multiple levels of security in which systems must operate.
The Defense Department is pursuing a new way of warfighting based on a concept called joint all-domain operations. By
synchronizing major systems and crucial data, DOD provides a complete picture of the battlespace and empowers warfighters to quickly make decisions that drive action so they can disrupt and overwhelm adversaries in seconds versus minutes when seconds really matter.
There’s a new asset helping DOD and its allies realize this vision of the future battlespace: data.
“New innovations are making data more readily available through cloud-based secure networks, more valuable through artificial intelligence and analytics, and more integrated through common data standards and multi-domain networks,”
