Multi-Domain Data Collection & Analysis Solutions

Your complete Multi-Domain System-of-System Data Collection & Analysis Solution incorporates a fusion of hardware and software known as the LiquidMetal™ Framework, a nod to our moniker, Mercury. Our services are dedicated to deploying your entire system tailored to your specific needs across multiple mission domains, including Operational Support, Training, Forensic Analysis, Testing & Evaluation, Cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The technical blueprint below illustrates the LiquidMetal™ Framework process flow: from data ingestion, through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load), to Analysis, Modeling, and Visualization.

Paramount to the LiquidMetal™ Framework is its inherent flexibility and capacity to evolve with your organization and be extended to where needed as your strategic imperatives evolve, all from ONE solution. 

Liquidmetal™ Framework

Multi-Domain System-of-Systems Data Collection & Analysis Solution

LiquidMetal™ supports Operations comprehensively, from planning through post-mission analysis, by enabling data collection, analysis, and visualization. Its post-mission analysis can reveal environmental patterns and trends, which helps in strategizing subsequent missions. The framework's capability to playback mission data, including audio and screen captures, is essential for mission debriefs, providing valuable feedback to personnel on their performance and conduct.
Systems in the field, coupled with training, ensure readiness. Forensic systems aid by offering instant audio and video replay of operator interactions for training review. This feedback is accessible on secure systems and can inform additional training or TTP refinement.
Decisions hinge on data provided to users. Forensic systems continuously gather data for After Action Reviews (AAR), including synchronized operator display replays and audio. This allows for analysis of user-system interaction, system performance, and mission success. Over time, this analysis informs review and improvement of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
Forensic data accelerates development by providing pre-configured data, offering cost savings through 'plug and play' systems that also capture audio and video. Such data informs realistic requirements for future upgrades, with the added benefit of an established Authority To Operate (ATO) easing further testing and deployment efforts.
Subscribers use forensic data for applications like cyber defense, where real-time data feeds proactive measures.
Subscribers use forensic data for AI systems, where specific data streams enhance predictive analytics without the usual parsing and storage, speeding up decision-making.

LM-CAPTURE CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW

This interactive graphic shows the physical implementation of a conceptual CAPTURE OPS room installation including audio, video, and data recording. The analysis is realized through the LM-FRAMEWORK providing rapid and consistent post-event information.

Your mission is fast paced with multiple data, audio and video streams being presented to Operators simultaneously. For test and training analysis of forensics, these streams must be collected to ensure proper reporting - at the operator position where the operator is, not a server room where questions can be asked about actual Operator data receipt.

Each Operator Workstation has differing mission needs for audio and video – CAPTURE “TAPS” and prepares all sources for collection and time tagging.

Standardized CAPTURE interface units are installed at each workstation enabling audio and video collection without numerous cable runs. Audio and video is transformed for collection by CAPTURE Server.

LM Framework enables monitoring of system operation, ingestion of all data formats, analysis of events, streaming of data for Cyber and AI as well as analysis results when you need them. It is configurable for your reporting needs whether its audio and video sync after a mission or deep dive packet analysis.

The heart of the data collection system, LM-CAPTURE™, collects, time tags and catalogs your data, preparing for analysis as you configure. CAPTURE provides visual dashboards of collection status and logs systems operational activities and up and down time.

When outside systems impact your operations or you need to verify operation of a system not organically collected, CAPTURE™ enables processing and analysis of off-site data. The data is then time sync’d with your organic data for a wholistic analysis product.

Diode isolated passive network taps are placed in key areas to provide ONE-WAY traffic for collection by CAPTURE™.

Your operational data is critical for event reconstruction to determine how systems performed and what information was sent to Users and decision makers. This data must be collected without impacting the systems itself.
