The presentation discusses the challenges and ambitions of improving situational awareness and decision support through information superiority in military operations using cloud-native software and Kubernetes Cluster Federation.
  • The goal is to achieve information superiority, provide multi-domain and integrated operations, and deploy both software and personnel quickly, scalably, and self-supporting.
  • TNO is enlisted to help bridge the gap between the actual state, the current state, and the desired state, and determine which steps and technologies need to be explored.
  • The research program focuses on the assumption that future command and control systems will be built and run cloud-natively, and every vehicle will have a form of Kubernetes running to facilitate this.
  • The use of Cloud-native software excels in situations where there is a complete lack of connectivity, taking into account the sporadic occasion in which there is a possibly small bandwidth connection during physical deployment.
  • Kubernetes Cluster Federation helps realize the future picture by ensuring trust and isolation, observability, and power and temperature aware scheduling.
  • Data replication across clusters is minimized, and data gravity is used to keep data on the cluster.
  • Revocation of keys and certificates is an open question, but there are ongoing experiments and research being done in other parts of the world.
  • The presentation ends with a call to action for job opportunities and feedback.
