APL’s Infocentric Operations (IO) business area provides proven technical capabilities for meeting the critical challenges and rising to the opportunities presented by information technology as an element of warfare. The core purpose of the Infocentric Operations Business Area – the reason why it exists – is to enable information superiority for greater national security.

The IO business area fulfils its purpose through its mission: providing technical solutions for achieving

  1. global access to,
  2. measurable assurance for,
  3. swift exploitation of, and
  4. targeted action against information, to enhance the security of the nation

Our approach consists of a system engineering perspective coupled with technical capabilities to meet the challenges of maintaining U.S. military and economic dominance in the new information environment.
