Modus Operandi Gets a Big Data Storage Contract
March 24, 2015
The US Missile Defense Agency awarded Modus Operandi a huge government contract to develop an advanced data storage and retrieval system for the Ballistic Missile Defense System. Modus Operandi specializes in big data analytic solutions for national security and commercial organizations. Modus Operandi posted a press release on their Web site to share the news, “Modus Operandi Awarded Contract To Develop Advanced Data Storage And Retrieval System For The US Missile Defense Agency.”
The contract is a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), under which Modus Operandi will work on the DMDS Analytic Semantic System (BASS). The BASS will replace the old legacy system and update it to be compliant with social media communities, the Internet, and intelligence.
“ ‘There has been a lot of work in the areas of big data and analytics across many domains, and we can now apply some of those newer technologies and techniques to traditional legacy systems such as what the MDA is using,’ said Dr. Eric Little, vice president and chief scientist, Modus Operandi. ‘This approach will provide an unprecedented set of capabilities for the MDA’s data analysts to explore enormous simulation datasets and gain a dramatically better understanding of what the data actually means.’ ”
It is worrisome that the missile defense system is relying on an old legacy system, but at least it is being upgraded now. Modus Operandi also sales Cyber OSINT and they are applying this technology in an interesting way for the government.
