Through our homeland security partnerships, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems supplies unparalleled expertise, technologies, and services. Whether helping to protect ports and borders, securing critical infrastructures, or supporting local first responders, General Dynamics is committed to bringing the best ideas, products, services, and people together to protect the country.

We focus our offerings in five areas:

• Sharing and Using Information: General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems provides the solutions for information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration. We create, maintain, and staff the command and control operations centers and systems used by decision makers. We develop and deliver the information technology tools to capture, analyze, and share information—thereby harmonizing operations across federal, state, local, and private sectors. And we help integrate disparate data and communication technologies into a single, unified, open architecture system.

• Securing Borders and Transportation Systems: Using an integrated approach, General Dynamics helps protect border and transportation systems—on air, land, and sea. We provide monitoring tools and integrate information for complete understanding of border activities. Our team has broad experience in conducting vulnerability and risk assessments for borders and transportation systems.

• Preventing Catastrophic Attacks: General Dynamics integrates monitoring systems with data analysis capabilities to help protect against terrorist use of biological, chemical, radiological, or nuclear weapons. We create and enable our customers to deploy equipment and related capabilities to detect, identify, and respond to potential catastrophic threats.

• Protecting Critical Infrastructure: General Dynamics provides products and expertise to secure essential cyber and physical infrastructures. We offer surveillance and situational data network capabilities and design, build, integrate, operate, and sustain converged networks that are secure, survivable, scaleable, and interoperable. General Dynamics also offers systems that monitor for aberrations within critical infrastructure sectors to alert authorities when something unusual occurs—allowing for the appropriate, timely response. To protect physical infrastructures, we deliver the tools that help anticipate potential new threats.

• Preparing First Responders: General Dynamics deploys integrated capabilities to help manage natural or man-made incidents, builds modeling and simulation systems to facilitate realistic training, and allows for geospatial information to be used for the first responder community. We develop and integrate intelligence fusion, emergency operations, and incident command centers.
