NetBase today announced that the U.S. Army has selected the company’s Content Intelligence solutions for the U.S. Army Research Lab (ARL).

The agreement with the U.S. Army will provide Content Intelligence capabilities for Situational Awareness to ARL scientists and engineers, and will ultimately expand to larger user communities. According to the U.S. Army, “Situational Awareness is the ability to generate actionable knowledge through the use of timely and accurate information about the Army enterprise, its processes, and external factors. The imperative to develop actionable knowledge is a key driver of Army Business Transformation (BT) and Continuous Process Improvement (CPI). Without Situational Awareness, BT cannot deliver the desired outcome of increasing Army combat capability by redirecting human and financial resources to the core war fighting mission.”(1)
