HOMELAND SECURITY

11 Feb 08. Northrop Grumman Corporationset a new standard in intelligence networked processing systems recently when its Distributed Common Ground System-Intelligence Community (DCGS-IC) Beta Operational Capability (BOC) became a cutting edge operational Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for the U.S. government. Northrop Grumman developed DCGS-IC BOC in nine months as an implementation of an earlier successful proof-of-concept system. The DCGS-IC BOC proves that using a true SOA with commercial standards, and capitalizing on reuse, introduces new development power to the government’s toolbox. The Northrop Grumman SOA approach promises significant life cycle cost savings for upgrades and introduction of new services and capabilities.
