9/18/2018 4

Prior to JARVISS, the Army lacked a centralized

system for real-time, unclassified, threat

information-sharing as terrorist attacks or related

incidents unfolded. Also lacking was a collaborative

environment for synthesizing real-time threat data

which enabled decision-makers in their efforts to

protect Army personnel and assets.
