We live in a complex and uncertain world where threats can come from anywhere and anytime. From the Pacific Ocean to the Baltic Sea, nations face the risk of aggression from hostile powers and terrorist groups. To defend their sovereignty and national security, they must be ready for any scenario and domain.
Modern warfare is about more than firepower and force. It is about information and intelligence. It is about seeing, understanding, and acting faster and better than the enemy. It is about gaining decision advantage and operational superiority.
But achieving this takes work. The enemy constantly evolves and adapts, using new technologies and tactics to disrupt and deceive. The battlefield is becoming more congested and contested, with multiple actors and sensors competing for access and influence. The information is becoming more abundant and complex, requiring advanced processing and analysis to extract meaningful insights.
How can nations overcome these challenges? How can they leverage the power of information and technology to gain an edge over their adversaries? How can their forces be connected, informed, and effective across all domains and environments?
The answer lies in C5ISR: Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
C5ISR subject matter experts (SMEs) are multi-faceted professionals who engineer and operate the cutting-edge tools,tech, and training that give our military superior tactical advantages. Their range is extensive— devising, developing, testing, integrating, and activating the tools central to information collection, processing, analysis, and distribution. Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platforms are the eyes and ears of Soldiers, enabling them to execute battlefield functions effectively. Beyond this, they guarantee streamlined communication and coordination for mission success based on the Department of Defense’s (DoD) command and control (C2) framework.
Hailing from diverse niches like tactical UAVs, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and electronic warfare (EW) systems integration, C5ISR experts unite under a common goal: maintain ready C5ISR assets 100% of the time. They do this by delivering results for the warfighter that achieve the commander’s intent, design, approach, art, and assessment. These experts actively engage with industry, academia, and other partners, harnessing the latest C5ISR technologies and best practices. They also collaborate with other SMEs, engineers, and other experts to reach solutions that drive the mission forward.
Unmanned systems are a prime example of technology operating independently of human intervention, including drones, robots, and autonomous vehicles. These systems carry out tasks deemed too hazardous, challenging, or remote for humans, spanning reconnaissance, surveillance, rescue, and logistics. They also augment human capabilities, offering situational awareness, force protection, and data collection.
Zero Point USA supports a full range of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) programs across a broad spectrum of aerial, ground, and subsurface platforms and sensors. Our C5ISR experts are integral to the entire Mission Support Solutions of unmanned systems, from design and development to testing, integration, and operation. Examples include Expeditionary, EMI-shielded ground control stations that offer a controlled platform for interoperability between different unmanned assets or the deployable tactical UAS launcher platforms that facilitate rapid deployment and recovery of unmanned aerial systems.
Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) analyze proposed industry approaches for communications and translate industry capabilities into programmatic strategies and solutions. They bring expertise in exploiting emerging commercial communications technologies, as well as U.S. and international cellular commercial telecommunications standards. With an in-depth understanding of Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities and communications interoperability/compatibility methods and techniques, our SMEs ensure that the military remains at the frontlines of telecommunications technology and maintains secure communication across all channels.
Asymmetric Intelligence Systems are designed to provide specialized multi-intelligence analysis, fusion, and threat assessments. These systems are essential to comprehend and mitigate threats targeting Special Operations Forces (SOF). By providing multi-intelligence analysis and assessments, they integrate existing national-level products and databases to identify patterns of current and prospective global threats and activities. C5ISR experts play a monumental role in the design, creation, and operation of these systems.
C5ISR experts are professionals first, but above all, they are driven by a deep sense of duty, a passion for their work, and a desire to make a difference. Many of them are veterans or service-disabled veterans. They have been on the frontlines, experienced the fight firsthand, and understand the dynamics of warfare in a way that few others can.
At Zero Point, we are incredibly proud that many of our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are individuals who, after serving their country in uniform, chose to continue their service in the civilian sector. We are equally proud of our experts who have chosen to serve their country by turning their interests and education into a profession.
“When it comes to supporting the soft warfighter, there’s a culture,” says Jacob Cowart, a Zero Point unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) SME.
“When it comes to supporting the soft warfighter, there’s a culture,” says Jacob Cowart, a Zero Point unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) SME. Our SMEs have countless years of experience, and many of them are former warfighters themselves. You won’t find this expertise anywhere else. Whether we work at the desk or in the field, we enable warfighters to make informed decisions with technology that protects them. We are extremely invested.“
Our SMEs bring over 25+ years of diverse experiences, advancing the mission goals of the Department of Defense— one mission at a time. Talk to a subject matter expert today to get started.
