The advancement of sensor technology such as radar, image capture and radio frequency
devices has resulted in a massive increase in the amount of data collected by defense
customers. This information, known as big data, has proved to be difficult to store, access
or analyze in real time. Solving this storage issue is vital to ensure that the critical decision makers
of today and tomorrow can take well-informed actions and avoid limiting the capabilities
of current, emerging and future sensor technology. This paper explores the data storage
challenges that must be overcome and presents new technology from Mercury Systems and
VAST Data Federal as a compelling solution.
