COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HII’s (NYSE: HII) Enlighten subsidiary marked a strategic expansion of operations with the opening of a new office facility in Columbia, Maryland, on July 31. The new office will serve as an important hub for innovation, collaboration, and growth across the company’s work with various branches of the U.S. military and national security agencies, as well as Enlighten’s continued leadership in providing solutions for big data analysis.

During the opening, Enlighten highlighted multiple high-value contracts secured with the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies, establishing the company as a trusted leader and partner in national security. These contracts include cutting-edge solutions and projects focused on enhancing cyber defenses, developing secure communication networks, and providing comprehensive data analytics solutions.

The Enlighten team also demonstrated one of the company’s newest offerings in big data analysis: IONIC.

IONIC is a next-generation data analysis solution that offers full visibility across a wide range of data points (e.g., intelligence, infrastructure, operational readiness, and cybersecurity posture). This cloud-based big data platform supports normalization, enrichment, ingestion, and storage of big data from a wide variety of sources. Core applications support query and visualization to help analysts quickly pinpoint key information. Specialized analytics, including those driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), study data and deliver tailored results to narrow the field during an investigation. In response to emerging requirements, these capabilities are developed and delivered at mission speed directly to operational teams. In this environment, previously isolated events can now be fused with others to create a comprehensive situational awareness picture.
