INDOPACOM Mission Partner Environment (MPE)

Overview

The United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) is responsible for maintaining a robust and secure information-sharing infrastructure that enables real-time communication, collaboration, and collective decision-making among U.S. military personnel, interagency departments, allied nations, and mission partners. Confronting the complex challenges posed by emerging threats in the Indo-Pacific region necessitates seamless integration of assets and personnel across multiple domains.

SOSi has played a pivotal role in the successful implementation of the USINDOPACOM Mission Partner Environment (MPE), a cutting-edge platform designed to facilitate secure and interoperable information exchange. Our team of highly skilled network engineers and cybersecurity experts has leveraged advanced technologies, rigorous processes, and specialized expertise to create a secure and controlled environment that fosters situational awareness and operational efficiency.

Results

SOSi’s support in deploying the USINDOPACOM MPE has dramatically enhanced the command’s capacity to share intelligence, collaborate with coalition partners, and establish interoperability with allied nations and organizations. Our Multi Enclave Client (MEC) approach has consolidated siloed data, duplicate information copies, and separate networks into a single sign-on, data-centric information domain, enabling real-time decision-making and the rapid formation of coalition environments in days rather than weeks.

Leveraging a hyper-converged infrastructure and private cloud architecture, SOSi has successfully integrated approximately 17,000 isolated and protected computing environments supported by the command’s network. Virtual infrastructure, including desktop virtualization hosting desktop environments on a central server, plays a vital role in connecting all elements of the MPE landscape, such as applications, data, clouds, APIs, processes, chat, voice, and video devices.

Furthermore, SOSi has bolstered the MPE’s security posture by transitioning defenses from static, network-based perimeters to a zero-trust architecture focused on user, asset, and resource verification. This rigorous approach to identity verification and granular control of data and assets has resulted in a more secure and controlled mission partner environment, facilitating safe and secure communication for the U.S. and its allies during peacetime and conflict.

By prioritizing data integrity and enabling controlled access, SOSi has paved the way for the adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning to support decision-making within the MPE. These advanced technologies can continuously monitor and analyze information to identify threats or opportunities as they emerge, providing a significant decision advantage and allowing accelerated tasking and advanced force management.
