Everyday Extraordinary Podcast: Episode 5
In the movies, warfighters on tactical missions can pull up vast amounts of data at the snap of a finger. In reality, providing troops with accurate and relevant information has always been more complicated—but that’s about to change. Tony Patillo has dedicated decades of research and time into developing a program designed to give those serving our country the information they need at the speed of mission.
When the stakes are highest—when a threat is imminent or an ally is in danger—every second counts. The modernized integrated database (MIDB) was built in the early 1990s as the central intelligence repository. The platform had its share challenges, and in 2018 the Defense Intelligence Agency began a “once in a generation happening” to modernize and improve MIDB. The integrated system not only detects where threats originate but also communicates a clear, updated situational picture that works under the toughest conditions. Using transforming all-source analysis with location-based objective services (TALOS) and the machine assisted analytic rapid reporting system (MARS), Peraton is change the way military professionals share information and intelligence securely, swiftly, and at scale.
Tony is on the cusp of making things a whole lot more like the movies, ensuring that the difference between success and catastrophe is brought to minimum, and that America and its Allies have the support they need in the most dangerous, time-sensitive situations.
