Systematic Inc. staff provides support to U.S. military exercise and demonstrates unique AI enabled capability
Two exercises, one mission: faster, more connected decision-making
Systematic Inc’s subject matter experts recently supported a major military exercise and an industry demonstration on opposite ends of the operational spectrum.
During Project Convergence-Capstone 6 (PC-C6) Systematic Inc. used its SitaWare suite of C4ISR software to help validate coalition command and control (C2) at scale. Systematic Inc. also supported the demonstration of Project Huck Finn, hosted by the Expeditionary Warfare Training Group, Pacific (EWTGPAC), where the focus shifted to speed and precision at the tactical edge. Together, the two efforts reflect the breadth of Systematic Inc.'s contributions to how the U.S. and its allies' sense, decide and act in future conflicts.
Coalition interoperability at Project Convergence-Capstone 6
From July 20-29, the U.S. Army executed PC-C6 at Fort Irwin, California. PC-C6 significantly expanded the scope, scale and complexity of experimentation previously tested during the 4th Infantry Division's Ivy Sting and Ivy Mass exercises. At the center of the exercise was continued validation of the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) architecture, designed to help U.S. and allied forces achieve and maintain decision dominance in complex, high-threat environments.
During PC-C6, Systematic Inc. supported allied forces from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. SitaWare C4ISR software provided seamless interoperability and communication for coalition forces through both Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP) versions 4.4 and 4.5 and the Common Messaging Format (CMF). The combined effort tested tactical system interoperability and strategic alignment among coalition partners, a foundational requirement for any future multinational operation.
A standout result was the successful demonstration of CMF interoperability with the UK and Australia, in which SitaWare software handled thousands of changes per minute to build a real-time red picture. Systematic Inc. also used its intelligence and data management tool, SitaWare Insight, to support an intelligence battalion's collection management process, pulling in open-source intelligence for detailed analysis and visualization. The result was a unified common intelligence picture, displayed live on the map for coalition partners to share.
“PC-C6 showed what’s possible when coalition partners can truly share a common operational picture in real time,” said Brian Stephens, VP of Technology for Systematic Inc. “Being able to handle thousands of CMF updates a minute and turn that into a unified intelligence picture on SitaWare Insight isn’t just a technical milestone. It’s exactly the kind of capability our allied forces need to maintain decision dominance in future high-threat environments.”
A digital kill web at the tactical edge: Project Huck Finn
At EWTGPAC, Systematic Inc. took part in the Project Huck Finn demonstration. Where PC-C6 focused on coalition command and control at scale, Project Huck Finn concentrated on speed and precision at the tactical edge.
Project Huck Finn delivers a fully digital, data-centric sensor-to-shooter kill web that shifts processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) away from centralized Ground Control Stations and out to the tactical edge. The result is a significant increase in the speed of kill chain execution, together with a smaller operational footprint and reduced electromagnetic signature for Stand-In Forces, both important advantages in contested environments.
Huck Finn replaces the manual, warfighter-intensive process sometimes referred to as ‘swivel chairing’ with an automated, digital sensor-to-shooter kill web, increasing both speed and accuracy in target engagement. The demonstration was well received by its recipients, showcasing real value to the warfighter in conducting 21st century maneuver warfare.
Systematic Inc and the SitaWare software provided seamless communication and interoperability capabilities to the demonstration, which featured industry partners 1350 Design, SciFly, Bann, Syntiant Corp. and Ultra I&C.
Looking ahead
PC-C6 and Project Huck Finn reflect SitaWare software’s wide-range of capabilities from coalition-level C2 to edge-based kill chain automation as well as its potential contributions to the modernization efforts of U.S. and allied militaries. Systematic Inc. will continue providing support and for coalition interoperability at upcoming events like Northern Strike 26, Bold Quest, and BlueTIDE 2026.
As the U.S. military continues to refine its NGC2 architecture and the wider coalition force pursues faster, more resilient kill webs, Systematic Inc. remains committed to delivering the interoperability, situational awareness and decision-support capabilities that keep forces aligned, informed and ready for what comes next.
