In the midst of a military operation, commanders need timely and reliable access to threat and friendly information—along with the latest analysis of possible end states and courses of action—to make the most informed decisions at precisely the right moment. Command and Control solutions are built on a robust and security-enhanced Microsoft platform designed for military messaging and situational awareness, so military leaders can depend on the accuracy of their communications and confidently recommend appropriate action.

Situation
Military organizations need to connect across all levels of command, and military commanders must quickly, effectively, and securely deliver current and often critical information and orders to soldiers, sailors, and airmen on the front lines. Without a solid framework for providing well-timed and accurate information, especially in unpredictable and unstable environments, there is a risk that orders will be delayed, miscommunicated, or missed altogether.
Solutions
Microsoft and its worldwide partner network offer solutions that help commanders plan, direct, and coordinate forces and equipment by helping aggregate information on personnel, equipment, and enemy movements into a single view—providing highly secure, real-time situational awareness. Support for military messaging, particularly mobile communications, helps commanders securely and rapidly deliver tactical information and strategic orders to personnel on the front lines.
