C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) is a major growth area for Metrodata.

 Working with the Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC), the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Metrodata worked on the Comms System and Interoperable C4i Ops Center for the US Navy/US Army experimental high speed vessel (HSV).

This test platform for emerging technologies proved so successful it was pressed into service in the war in Iraq. 

Providing flexible, reliable C4I systems allowed us to offer the possibility of an at-sea Joint Operations Center (JOC) in theater. 

Metrodata's ability to interface disparate equipment, protocol and interfaces allowed seamless interoperability between different network assets.

Mr. Guy Purser, Chief Engineer for NWDC, had specific goals for the type of C4I suite to prototype on the Joint Venture. "We wanted a state-of-the-art complement of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems that provided an integrated workstation for applications, voice, and radio whether the application or transmission was local or long haul. Joint Venture has demonstrated the efficacy of this COTS design in actual combat conditions with a high state of reliability."
