Security concerns, bureaucratic restrictions and a myriad of other constraints often make enterprise data sources inaccessible within defense and intelligence agencies. The visibility and utility of these data sources is essential for field leaders and commanders to make informed tactical decisions. Our proven Access Connect Data Connect (ACDC) API- System provides secure access to mission-critical information enhancing overall situational awareness.
Data Consumers (App developers, data scientists, and end users) need secure and access to a variety of latest data across multiple source systems without creating a copy. Data Owners need to own and manage who, what, when their data is accessed and require strong policy management and approval processes and tools. ACDC provides a secure centralized data access layer to decentralized dataset to streamline this access, so data gets into the right hands in real-time to inform data-driven decisions.
ACDC is an enterprise API System that makes data available in real time. It serves as the foundational layer on Air Force’s Cloud One. ACDC establishes authorized and authenticated data use, enables the reuse of open standard data APIs to eliminate redundancies, minimizes long-term application and data management costs, achieves economies of scale in data utilization, and ultimately accelerates the delivery of game- changing mission applications and services.
