Systematic secures JITC certification for SitaWare Headquarters CMF Gateway

Certification confirms SitaWare Headquarters can process Integrated Broadcast Service intelligence data across Five Eyes coalition networks

Systematic Inc. recently received a Standards Conformance Certification for Distribution letter from the U.S. Department of War's Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), confirming that the Common Message Format (CMF) Gateway within SitaWare Headquarters conforms to the CMF standard. The certification confirms SitaWare Headquarters capability to receive and process Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) intelligence data across Five Eyes coalition networks.

JITC is the Department of War authority responsible for certifying that information technology systems meet the interoperability, security, and performance standards required for military use across the U.S. services and coalition partners. Achieving this certification demonstrates that the SitaWare Headquarters CMF Gateway meets the rigorous standards required to handle sensitive intelligence traffic within a coalition environment.

Bringing broadcast intelligence into the common operational picture

The IBS network delivers time-sensitive, all-source intelligence to deployed forces across multiple domains. With the CMF Gateway certification, SitaWare Headquarters users can receive this intelligence data directly, converting broadcast reporting into actionable information on the common operational picture without the need for additional translation or manual handling.

“This certification means our coalition partners can trust that SitaWare Headquarters will receive and interpret IBS data correctly, every time,” said Brian Stephens, Vice President of Technology for Systematic Inc. “For commanders and analysts working across the Five Eyes coalition, that means broadcast intelligence can flow quickly and directly into the systems they already use during critical operations, without having to swivel chair.”

When paired with analytical capabilities of SitaWare Insight, Systematic's AI-enabled data management and decision support tool, the certified CMF Gateway extends this capability further into the intelligence cycle. This closes the gap between broadcast intelligence and the analysis and reporting that follows it.

A rigorous path to certification

Achieving JITC certification requires that software or systems demonstrate compliance with the relevant military standards and pass a structured program of interoperability, security, and performance testing. For the CMF Gateway, this process verified that SitaWare Headquarters could reliably receive, decode, and display IBS broadcast data to the standard required for use across U.S. and coalition networks.

The latest in a track record of certified interoperability

The CMF Gateway certification is the latest addition to a growing portfolio of JITC certifications earned by SitaWare, reflecting Systematic's ongoing investment in ensuring the suite can meet the tactical data-link and messaging standards demanded by U.S. and coalition forces. SitaWare has previously achieved JITC certification for:

Together, these certifications mean SitaWare software can connect with the full range of data links relied on by U.S. and coalition forces, from beyond line-of-sight networks through to real-time tactical data exchange, giving commanders confidence that the platform will interoperate reliably regardless of the network environment.

“Each certification we earn adds another piece to the interoperability picture for our users,” said Stephens. “From Link 16 and JREAP-C through to OTH-Gold, VMF, and now the CMF Gateway, SitaWare software is independently verified to interoperate across the data links and message formats that U.S. and coalition forces depend on every day. This gives commanders the confidence to plan and operate together, whatever network they are using.”

Supporting joint and coalition interoperability

The certification adds to Systematic's continued investment in joint and coalition interoperability across the SitaWare suite, including recent updates to SitaWare Headquarters that expand support for NATO messaging standards and intelligence integration. As IBS and other broadcast intelligence networks continue to play a central role in coalition operations, Systematic remains committed to ensuring SitaWare Headquarters meets the certification standards required by the U.S. Department of War and its Five Eyes partners.
