- Data & Analysis: Access live business intelligence dashboards, run on-device data analysis applications, and visualize GEOINT, mapping, and sensor data in the classified environment.
- Common Operating Awareness: Maintain the common operating picture with COP displays, blue-force tracking, tactical mapping, mission route planning, and live UAV and ISR feeds.
- Field Ops Execution: Execute at the edge with real-time video monitoring, secure orders dissemination, and live ops dashboard monitoring — keeping operators informed and mission-ready.
- Mission Reporting & Documentation: Complete after-action reports, submit and receive tasking orders digitally, manage field documentation, and disseminate mission records securely.
How it Works: Inside the XD Tyton™ Architecture
Typically, the process of receiving iOS and iPadOS updates includes the device detecting an available update, requesting and downloading the update file over public internet, seeking authorization to proceed with installation and once approved, completing the update. When XD Tyton is introduced via low-side and high-side application servers on either side of a compatible HTN CDS, it enables the secure round-trip update data packets as XML, securing iOS and iPadOS device updates that mirror the commercial update experience.
