Enabling the mission autonomy flywheel: The AWS four-phase approach to defense innovation
In this post, you will learn how AWS technologies support the entire autonomous system lifecycle from AI-powered design and virtual prototyping in pre-deployment, to edge computing through services like AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT Greengrass and related solution guidance like Tactical Edge Application Deployment on AWS and Cloud Edge Global Access (CEGA) during deployment, through real-time mission operations, and finally to post-mission evolution using secure over-the-air updates and predictive maintenance.
