Maritime Domain Awareness Tools User Workshop: ARES Security Corp. AVERT C2 (CommandBridge) Command and Control Platform

Whether tracking people for security, shipments for logistics, or vehicles for operations, being aware of current asset locations and its current state is crucial to maintaining an accurate operational picture. The Avert C2 (CommandBridge) platform uses advanced software technology to assimilate sensor feeds, cut through information clutter, and provide relevant and actionable information to stakeholders. The system, utilizing secure role-based access, provides users with a highly flexible, secure, and configurable solution for asset tracking, overall situational awareness, real-time notification, mission planning, incident response, and after-action reporting. The software platform architecture allows AVERT C2 to ingest and display virtually any sensor feed or system —such as CAD, cameras, LPR, radar, weather, radio, wearable sensors, and even alarm systems—while its web-based apps allow users, security operations command center personnel, operations personnel, analysts, and others to quickly interpret information, collaborate, and make actionable recommendations, rather than merely collecting and presenting data without context.
ARES Security Corporation’s AVERT C2 (CommandBridge) domain awareness platform is currently deployed in over 30 seaports, operations hubs, and crime centers.
