Official Description

Problem Statement

The Department of War (DoW) relies on robust Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to guarantee situational awareness and maintain operational superiority. Currently, critical Joint Force missions are driven by classical sensors that detect fluctuations in electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Additionally, the invisible backbone of modern ISR is absolute precision timing and synchronization, which enables seamless sensor fusion, secure comm...
