The latest contract creates a path for planned deployment of the platform to 11 bases next year and across the whole airforce within the next five years.
Novetta’s PICARD platform has been developed to integrate forces with intelligent systems to allow rapid decision-making across all kinds of defence operations.
The PICARD platform uses an internet of things (IoT) approach and sensor fusion.
The company created this open-architecture edge and Cloud system, which brings DevSecOps methodologies to non-traditional operational technologies, including electronic security, control, as well as weapons systems.

“PICARD begins to deliver on the promise of Integrated Base Defense and all-domain data sharing.
“We look forward to continuing to evolve the platform and deliver for the career field and the airforce.”
