Leveraging commercially available technology, Blue Dawn provides scalable infrastructure for mission partner collaboration in multiple mission sets and environments

ECS, a provider of advanced technology solutions in data and AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise transformation, and an ASGN (NYSE: ASGN) brand, announced today that Blue Dawn, the company’s cloud-based mission partner environment (MPE) infrastructure solution, has been officially designated “awardable” on the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is the premier offering of Tradewinds, the DoD’s suite of tools and services designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), data, and analytics capabilities.

With this awardable status, Blue Dawn is now available as a contract-ready solution, streamlining acquisition for government customers seeking a cloud-based infrastructure that delivers mission outcomes, is IL5 and IL6 compliant, and enables secure collaboration, data interoperability, and AI development across high-security environments using a streamlined commercial delivery model.

In addition to AI development, Blue Dawn enables secure coordination over a range of mission areas, from operational decision making and foreign aid, to logistics and training, to the delivery of military equipment and maintenance support, quickly and at scale.

“This milestone underscores ECS’ dedication to delivering a secure platform, backed by the most advanced commercial technologies, that empowers collaboration, accelerates mission execution, and meets the evolving digital demands of the DoD,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS. “Blue Dawn represents our commitment to innovation, interoperability, and future-ready solutions for our nation’s most critical defense priorities.”

ECS' video submission for the assessment, “Blue Dawn Mission Partner Collaboration (IL5 and IL6),” accessible only by government customers on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, presents several actual use cases including a case in which ECS enabled mission partner collaboration between several allied nations during a global crisis.
