Legacy C2 breaks at the edge

The Challenge

Commanders in the Indo-Pacific operate across vast distances with contested communications and coalition partners. Legacy C2 systems don't talk to each other. Operators manually re-enter data across different screens and systems. These "swivel chair" processes introduce lethal latency and human error at exactly the moments where seconds matter most.

The Reality

NGC2 brings everything into one integrated stack — and Neo is the layer soldiers actually touch. It fuses sensor feeds, fires data, and airspace information into a single, high-performance display that stays responsive when bandwidth degrades and the data load spikes. Commanders get a unified operational picture from division down to platoon. Staff stop reconciling screens and start making decisions.

The Architecture

Operational Record
Across six Lightning Surge exercises, Neo has added mission threads to expand what soldiers can see and act on. Lightning Surge 3 was Neo's defining moment: a division-scale live-fire event where Airspace Managers moved from manually logging air tracks to actively clearing airspace in real time, compressing the coordination timeline between fires execution and aviation operations.

Lyntris’s Neo mission‑command interface showed 25ID commanders a unified, real‑time, operational picture – rendering live track data, UAS positions and multi-source feeds in a single, high-performance interface that helped the division maintain clarity in contested environments
