It’s Not All About Software and AI: JBM FSRs Are Even More Vital with Today’s Increasingly Complex Systems

Gone are the legacy stand-alone radar systems of past years.  Today, ever evolving technology combined with rapidly changing tactics, techniques and procedures create a dynamic wartime environment that provides more capability for the warfighter.  Vehicle based or fixed site families of systems combine radar, EO/IR, as well as kinetic and non-kinetic means of defense as they share data to create an integrated air defense picture that is more capable and more complex than ever before.    This accelerated growth of military technology reinforces the proven value JBM brings to the effective fielding and sustainment of national defense systems. 

Our professionals remain at the forefront of evolving technologies and apply critical tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance supported equipment’s full capability.  We’re well versed in the practical applications of AI and employ it in support of optimizing our DoD/Industry customers’ operations or testing efforts.  And while software updates and AI are a vital part of maintaining and optimizing these systems, they are just a part of the bigger picture.   From Preventive Maintenance Inspections and LRU replacement, to optimizing the radar picture and hardware upgrades, not everything is software related.  As a result, JBM’s services perform an essential role delivering sophisticated systems, affecting network integration, on-site maintenance, and timely upgrades in response to real-world developments.  

However, and of equal importance, JBM provides an intangible value that technology cannot replace. Given the absolute essential nature of system performance, all stakeholders need the ability to turn to a system expert they can relate to and that understands their mission.  Further, centralized maintenance support does not bring the level of operational availability commanders in the field need.  This is increasingly true the more distant the customer is from the Original Equipment Manufacturer/Product Office, or when employed in a combat scenario.  A call center doesn’t have the same motivation to keep defensive systems operational as the FSR sitting next to you taking fire at a forward operating base.  Aside from the physical proximity, our professionals speak the same ‘language’ as the operator.  Specifically, we understand their roles, we possess a practical appreciation for unique environmental effects, and our actions are shaped by a shared lifetime of military service.  We know this from first-hand experience. Over the past 18 years, JBM has established a global legacy for providing field commanders this exact vital support and we will continue to bring the same value as new capabilities are fielded.  

To learn more about how JBM can bring relevant value and readily available support to all military technology stakeholders, contact Mr. Bill Bergman wbergman@gojbm.com

JBM Honors Veterans Day 2023

JBM is a truly unique Team – the vast majority of those in our ranks are US military veterans.

That number also includes members of the National Guard who continue to serve our nation.  As witnesses and active participants, JBM veterans have been a part of our nation’s history over the course of the last 47 years.  

  • They constitute the generations of warriors conducting combat operations since the end of the Vietnam War.
  • They endured climatic extremes and other challenges defending NATO and were present when the Berlin Wall fell.
  • They responded to short-notice contingencies, Humanitarian Assistance, Counter-Narcotics and Counter-Terrorism missions.
  • Their leadership shaped force readiness and honed essential operational capabilities across the four largest branches of the military.
  • They were the face of America to our allies and adversaries, and their vigilance along-side regional partners contributed to global stability.

Whether stateside or deployed, JBM veterans accepted the demands of long duty hours and performed the hard work required for America’s national defense.    

Most importantly, they performed their service, regardless of the hardships involved, as a volunteer.

Their selfless contributions ensured the freedoms all Americans enjoy today.  So, on behalf of the whole of JBM, I want to formally recognize and thank our veterans!

Happy Veterans Day!
