Hyperwave KMINCE participate in Quantum Leap-2 Demonstration
Hyperwave, provider of Collaborative Enterprise Content Management solutions, is the core technology for the Knowledge Management and Collaboration in a Net-Centric Environment Initiative, which will participate in the Horizontal Fusion Portfolio Quantum Leap (QL-2) demonstration to be held 11 August 2004 at distributed sites. QL-2 expands on the 27 August 2003 Quantum Leap-1 Demonstration, which demonstrated operational readiness of Net-Centric capabilities.
The Horizontal Fusion Portfolio Initiative is a critical component of the DoD goal of Net-Centric Transformation to provide access to vital capabilities and trusted information for Warfighters and other essential stakeholders across the battlespace. Horizontal Fusion is sponsored and directed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Networks and Information Technology (ODS/NII), and is not a single program, but a Portfolio of Net-Centric Initiatives begun in FY 2003 to show that Net-Centric operations were within the reach of DoD. Hyperwave provides collaboration and content management capabilities to support the Portfolio.
This year, Hyperwave is collaborating with 30 other initiatives in the FY 2004 Portfolio as a partner in the Knowledge Management and Collaboration in a Net-Centric Environment (KMINCE) Initiative. Using a common architecture and integration process, Portfolio initiatives are woven into a Secret-level DoD information environment called the Collateral Space, which provides content and capabilities to exploit the Global Information Grid Bandwidth Expansion (GIG-BE). KMINCE has contributed to expand Warfighter access to time-sensitive, trusted, and vital information through Horizontal Fusion's MARS and other portals into the Collateral Space.
"KMINCE was the first 04 Initiative to integrate into the Collateral Space," said Tommy Meeker, Deputy Director of the Horizontal Fusion Portfolio. Peter Watson, Vice President of Hyperwave, said, "We are looking forward to continuing to collaborate with other members of the Portfolio to strengthen critical capabilities to Warfighters in the global battlespace."
Prior to entry into the Horizontal Fusion Portfolio, Hyperwave worked with the U.S. Army National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) to create their Digital Production Program (DPP). Identified as an exemplar knowledge management capability by the FFRDC MITRE, Hyperwave was selected by NGIC to help solve their central information challenge - bringing dynamic information together from many different organizations to support globally-distributed users. NGIC users include air, land, ground, and joint Warfighters, many on different infrastructures (including legacy systems). The Hyperwave-fueled NGIC DPP portal seamlessly fuses time-sensitive information back to users for rapid decisions and action.
Based on the NGIC DPP 5-year success story and close relevance to Horizontal Fusion goals, the NGIC/Hyperwave partnership was accepted into the FY 04 Portfolio and titled KMINCE.
"Our involvement with the Horizontal Fusion Portfolio, NGIC, and other military and intelligence community users highlights the urgency for collaborative solutions to leverage knowledge and intelligence across all Federal as well as military organizations," added Watson. "As CFLICC Commander, LTG David McKiernan has said, 'The need now is go beyond information superiority to decision superiority.' We hope to contribute significantly to collaboration in knowledge-sharing for Joint Warfighting as well as for critical domestic U.S. information needs, including Homeland Defense and Services-Oriented Federal Enterprise Architectures."28.06.2004, Hyperwave AG
