The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:

14 Nov. 2018 -- Part of the initiative aims at leveraging the most advanced computer processing speeds, data analysis, and technologies designed to synthesize information from otherwise disparate nodes.

One system being evaluated, Raytheon’s FoxTen, uses commercially developed software to collect and organize data from sources such as human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), cyber security oriented data, terrain and battlespace data and other fast-changing combat-relevant information.

The pace of technical change and the rapid introduction of threatening new areas of warfare such as cyber and electronic warfare (EW), are part of what is driving the Army to seek fast-emerging new intel database systems. As part of this push, the Army is integrating cyber and EW units together and doubling its force of electromagnetic warfare specialists.
