Overview
The NEXUS to Core (N2C) Programme is the creation and sustainment of a digital infrastructure (cloud-based platform) on which to deploy applications and software to enable war fighters to make timely decisions while in the air. NEXUS is the infrastructure which provides integrated solutions for secure processing, connectivity, and data management that will create decision superiority by delivering relevant information and capabilities to aircraft.
Work Package 3 – Sustain and Grow AIP. Growth of the AIP includes the onboarding and ingestion of new information sources, integration with new customers, and expansion to new networks.
