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 the Army's data into one common layer — and Neo is an operator interface inside it. It renders sensor feeds, track data, EW, and fires information into a single high-performance display tuned for the conditions soldiers actually work in: degraded bandwidth, dense data loads, time-critical decisions. Commanders get a unified operational picture from division to platoon. Staff stop reconciling screens and start making decisions.

The Architecture

Operational Record
Across six Lightning Surges, NGC2 has been refined through continuous soldier feedback at the 25th Infantry Division. Most recently, at Lightning Surge 3, Neo extended NGC2 into the airspace domain. Soldiers used it to fuse sensor feeds, fires data, and airspace information into a single operational picture; render airspace control measures and fires trajectories in 3D; ingest airspace control orders automatically; and move from reactive logging of air tracks to active, real-time clearance of airspace under live-fire conditions.

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
