The Challenge
Effective command and control software development demands more than building a dashboard. Modern C2 systems must ingest data from radically different sources — UAV feeds, electronic warfare sensors, HUMINT reports, SIGINT intercepts, logistics databases, and allied network overlays — and present them as a single coherent common operational picture (COP) in near real time. Most defense programs underestimate this integration burden until they are already mid-program.
Role-based access and command hierarchy are equally critical. Operators at the platoon level require a filtered, task-relevant view. Battalion and brigade commanders need aggregated status across multiple subordinate units. Intelligence analysts require access to source data and confidence ratings. Building a C2 system that surfaces the right information to the right user — without leaking sensitive data across role boundaries — requires careful authorization architecture that goes far beyond standard application access control.
Finally, C4ISR platforms operating in degraded communications environments must behave predictably when connectivity drops. Resilient data synchronization, local caching, and graceful degradation to offline mode are not optional enhancements — they are foundational requirements for any C2 platform intended for field deployment alongside NATO or partner-nation forces.
What We Build
Real-Time Data Fusion Dashboards
Low-latency dashboards that ingest streaming sensor data and render a live operational picture. Purpose-built for the throughput demands of active tactical environments, with sub-second refresh on critical tracks.
Multi-Source Sensor Integration
Adapters and normalization pipelines for UAV telemetry, electronic warfare (EW) feeds, radar tracks, HUMINT submissions, and SIGINT reports. We build the connectors that turn disparate data into a unified operational layer.
Role-Based Access & Command Hierarchy
Keycloak-backed authorization aligned to your command structure. Operators see what their role permits. Commanders retain full visibility. Data classification boundaries are enforced at the API layer, not the UI layer.
Operational Picture (COP) Synthesis
Geospatial correlation of friendly force positions, enemy activity, sensor coverage, and logistics status on a single map canvas. PostGIS, Mapbox GL, and custom symbology aligned to NATO APP-6 standards.
Interoperability with Delta & STANAG Formats
Integration experience with Ukraine's Delta C2 system and NATO data exchange standards including STANAG-4586 (UAV control) and ADatP-3 (NFFI/MIP). We build the bridges between allied systems.
Deployable Dashboards for Field and HQ
Containerized Kubernetes deployments that run on-premise, in air-gapped environments, or on cloud-adjacent infrastructure. HQ receives enterprise-grade observability; field nodes operate with minimal connectivity requirements.
Built With Corvus.Head
Corvus.Head — Our Productized C2 Dashboard
Corvus.Head is the battlefield intelligence dashboard we developed from our direct experience delivering C2 systems at Ukraine's national defense level. It integrates infantry position reports, artillery fire missions, UAV tracks, EW detections, and SIGINT data into a single operational picture, with role-based views from platoon to strategic command.
For clients who need a proven C2 foundation rather than a ground-up build, Corvus.Head dramatically reduces program risk and time-to-deployment. It can be configured for your unit taxonomy, data sources, and operational environment — and extended with custom integrations where your program requires it.

C2 delivery is not a standard software project. Operational requirements are expressed in mission terms, not feature lists. Our three-step methodology is designed for defense programs.
