When communications are available with normal bandwidth, users can depend on live streaming data. When there’s interruption or limited comms, they need to be able resume gracefully or receive the most important data that bandwidth will allow. Confluent Platform is the Kafka data streaming platform built for mission-critical requirements, addressing security, automation, and flexible scaling (both up and down). Mission commanders at the edge require a consistent flow of data relating to blue and red forces to plan, execute, assess, and adjust tactics in a dynamic, joint, and all-domain battlespace. As such, modernization efforts around information sharing must accommodate a very broad variety of data across the C2, ISR, Logistics & Sustainment, and Information Environment.
