Monterey Technologies, Inc.’s ViPER Mission Planning Application Featured in Department of Defense Publication
Summary
ViPER is an adaptable toolset that enables planners to pull together information from distributed sources, integrate all considerations in a single application, and rapidly transition from sketching to execution. The results - ViPER provides mission planners with a tool that reduces planning time and human error, displays complex data in a single file, and allows for rapid adjustments. “If we had tried to do this through a regular acquisition process, it would have cost much more money.” While developed for Military and Defense use, the ViPER mission planning application has use cases that span public and private sectors. “ViPER provided us with a single tool that enables electronic planning across multiple different platforms, does the coordination, and synchronizes data and messages in real time,” states Ramsay. For example, international relief efforts, like in Haiti, where a team must plan for multiple types of assets over time, determine who needs what, when they need it, where supplies are, where they need to be, how to get them there, and what the priority is for delivery,” states Chamberlain.
