The US Air Force has awarded Shreveport-based Praeses a contract of up to $950 million for the Joint All Domain Command and Control environment as part of a  multi-level security effort to provide the development and operation of systems as a unified force across all domains (air, land, sea, space, cyber and electromagnetic spectrum).

JADC2 operates in an open architecture family of systems that enable capabilities via multiple integrated platforms.

The Praeses’ solutions, individually and collectively, address the Air Force’s needs through digital modeling, simulation and analysis, cloud-based repositories, data ingestion, data fusion, data analytics, predictive modeling, artificial intelligence, command and control and visualization across multidomain operations.
