## Objectives

a.

PDC technologies, Advanced Analytics, and AI Programs are meeting increasing demands for faster, data-driven decision-making across diverse missions, including border security, understanding and countering adversarial influence operations, and time-sensitive response actions for hurricanes, wildfires, and other hazards (natural or man-made) impacting all US areas of interest.
b. PDC is a science and technology innovation center specializing in the creation of actionable risk intelligence, early warning, and decision support to inform leaders and guide appropriate action by the DoD, USG, and general public in response to natural and man-made hazards. Through unique international partnerships PDC provides integrated situational awareness in even the most data austere environments.
