An Open-Source, Non-Proprietary, Shared Reasoning Environment for the Acquisition Lifecycle

iNovex offers a practical approach to transition traditional engineering processes focused on controlling the documentation about systems, to a digitized shared reasoning environment focused on models of complex systems of systems.Our approach supports the Digital Thread's Authoritative Truth by applying semantic technologies to link disparate data sources and engineering artifacts across the acquisition lifecycle.Our solution provides cross-process, cross-function connectivity, linkages and traceability to access, integrate, and transform disparate data into actionable information for decision-makers.We use a free and open-source semantic data collaboration platform built on open industry standards as the foundation for developing an extensible analytic framework that seamlessly expedites the controlled interplay of authoritative technical data to inform decision makers.Open APIs enable the community of Government and contractor stakeholders to incrementally and iteratively build out system capability over time, thus accelerating capability deployment and avoiding the long-term cost and schedule implications of proprietary vendor systems.The platforms semantic graph knowledgebase (GKB) is federated across the stakeholder community.Data is shared through a software toolchain on a need-to-know basis, providing a real-time, secure environment for data interoperability, and enabling acquisition stakeholders to develop risk-informed capability requirements, and make effective cost, performance, schedule, design and quantity trade-offs.
