In today’s operational theater, multi domain operations demand more than just reliable networks, they require innovative architectures that allow information to move, adapt, and remain secure across all environments. While many organizations speak about resilience and interoperability, MAG delivers these capabilities through proven, purpose-built technologies and methodologies crafted specifically for the complexity of joint operations.
Tackling Interoperability and Cyber Threats: Lessons from the Field
MAG’s experience is best reflected not only in its engineering credentials but through specific technical achievements that set it apart. Consider the deployment of the Universal Adapter Plate, a proprietary integration platform designed for rapid connection of airborne and ground sensor payloads to multiple communication architectures. In a recent joint exercise, the Universal Adapter Plate cut sensor integration time from weeks to days and enabled seamless transfer of ISR data from unmanned aerial systems to command elements on the ground—regardless of manufacturer or original data protocol. This technology directly addresses longstanding obstacles around interoperability without requiring wholesale system overhauls.
Beyond adapters, we employ a distributed data processing approach that supports the real-time gathering of data and actionable intelligence, even in bandwidth-constrained or contested spaces. During live-force exercises, MAG’s distributed analytics successfully processed sensor feeds from dispersed platforms, allowing ground teams to maintain situational awareness even as network conditions fluctuated—something traditional, centralized solutions failed to achieve under similar constraints.
Proprietary Methodologies for Resilient Networks
Our approach to building robust communication networks goes beyond off-the-shelf solutions. The engineering team leverages a rigorous vulnerability assessment and remediation methodology, providing tailored solutions that match the mission environment. This process draws on deep expertise not only in DoD cyber security frameworks but also on our continuous in-house research and development investments.
For example, MAG’s teams regularly deploy proprietary test suites that simulate near-peer cyber attacks under real mission loads. Findings are immediately integrated into the next iteration of system hardening, creating a continuous cycle of improvement that anticipates and neutralizes advanced threats. Security certifications are only the baseline; our advantage lies in this feedback-driven, adaptive posture that evolves with the operational tempo.
Secure-by-Design: Embedding DEVSECOPS in Practice
Security in multi domain operations cannot be stitched on as an afterthought. We ensures system integrity by integrating security measures at every step, leveraging a true DEVSECOPS pipeline that includes automated code review, continuous integration, and rapid incident response protocols developed internally. This approach enabled MAG to deploy a complex, coalition-wide communications network for a recent NATO exercise, meeting strict international and U.S. cybersecurity requirements on an expedited timeline—delivering operational capability without compromise.
Through threat modeling at system inception and automated testing across the software lifecycle, we are able to identify and address vulnerabilities before deployment, ensuring resilient operations across varying domains and partners.
Innovation in Action: The Universal Adapter Plate
The Universal Adapter Plate (UAP) is more than a technical achievement—it is an example of our philosophy to solve mission problems with targeted engineering innovations. In classified joint operations, where integration speed and interoperability can determine mission outcomes, the UAP enabled plug-and-play flexibility between foreign and domestic platforms. This allowed U.S. and allied assets to instantly share data and capabilities, eliminating weeks of system incompatibility and streamlining mission workflows. The result was a demonstrable increase in intelligence sharing and a measurable reduction in mission coordination time.
Moving Beyond the Status Quo
MAG’s value in multi domain operations is built around direct engagement with true mission needs rather than generic solutions. By deploying tested proprietary tools, continuously refining cyber defense practices, and developing innovations like the Universal Adapter Plate, MAG empowers commanders with resilient, secure, and truly interoperable networks.
From the tactical edge to command centers, our solutions integrate advanced technology and real-world insight, ensuring that joint forces can act on reliable information precisely when and where it matters most.
