SUCCESS STORIES

 

Forge Forward successfully virtualized, upgraded, tested, and transitioned a global Military Sealift Command (MSC) Network Operations Center (NOC) to a new secure and integrated U.S. Navy tactical cloud hosting environment. Forge Forward engineers met arduous timelines and overcame significant unforeseen design issues, culminating with the successful cutover of 93 operational ships.

 

Forge Forward provides cybersecurity workforce certified professionals as lead systems engineers for several tactical communications and networking programs. In these roles, Forge’s subject matter experts assist the DoD to define resilient tactical networks delivering required capabilities across the enterprise.

 

Forge Forward designed, implemented, and manages a cloud Application Integration Process defining end-to-end requirements for integration of tactical applications into a cloud hosting environment. This includes developing the tactical services catalog and web-based front end through ServiceNow facilitating the submission, testing, compliance, and integration of tactical applications.

 

Forge Forward engineers provide Joint Expeditionary Command and Control (JEXC2) 24/7 Tier 2/3 operations support and were tasked to modify Expeditionary Carry-On Network (ExCON) kits for Commander, Second Fleet (C2F).  On very short notice, Forge Forward engineers upgraded and integrated new ExCON capabilities for a Second Fleet shore-based COVID-19 New York City command center coordinating USNS COMFORT and Second Fleet response for this vital homeland mission
