The USAF selected the platform for its capabilities in improving strategic planning and situational awareness activities.

With the SBIR grant, small companies will be able to provide new solutions to increase the effectiveness of the airforce.
Bluescape CEO Peter Jackson said: “We are honoured to partner with the US Air Force to help their teams share real-time information for faster decision making in mission-critical situations.
“The value is about bringing people and content together to work in one secure, digital visual container (DVC) and to see the entire campaign as it unfolds.”
Bluescape will establish the feasibility and technical value of its solution by starting Phase I activities.
