On October 2, Mattermost, Inc., a leader in delivering the secure, real-time collaboration and workflow tools that modern defense, security and intelligence teams need to maintain command and control, and operational tempo, announced the delivery of audio teleconferencing and screen-sharing capabilities to address key challenges impacting tactical command and control. These developments come as the company completes its $1.1 million AFWERX SBIR Phase II contract, enhancing the Air Force’s ability to securely collaborate.
“The ability to securely and rapidly disseminate real-time tactical information is crucial to the success of our operations, and we’ve seen a proven need for new audio-visual capabilities to help teams orchestrate operations and preserve mission agility as circumstances evolve at the tactical edge,” said Lt. Col. Gerard Guevara, inspector general for the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis Air Force Base. “In theater, tactical teams are only as effective as their intelligence, which makes support for mission-critical command and control efforts all the more vital so we can remain one step ahead of our adversaries.”
Since securing the contract in September 2022, Mattermost has worked closely with stakeholders at the 349th Air Mobility Wing at Travis Air Force Base, the Digital Aircrew Initiative (DAI), and Platform One to develop custom features aligned with specific mission needs to support the platform’s adoption. With Mattermost’s enhanced suite of audio-visual capabilities, including support for audio-only calls, screen sharing, live call chat and captioning, call recording and playback, and post-call transcripts, tactical teams can now securely and rapidly distribute evolving mission intelligence.
“We’ve seen proven success enabling collaboration for thousands of airmen across the Air Force with ChatOps, and our new capabilities allow teams leveraging Mattermost to launch a call within seconds as part of their secure channel structure,” said Ian Tien, CEO of Mattermost. “As mission conditions evolve, these new capabilities enable real-time information sharing that ensures decision quality. We appreciate the support we received from AFWERX and the 349th Air Mobility Wing as we developed these capabilities to bring innovation to the tactical edge.”
