Special Warfare Support Group
BAI's continuous track record of successful support to the Special Operations community includes system engineering, system test, software development, training, and logistics support. Our success is primarily due to three factors: proven performance, knowledge of both end user and program office requirements, and proximity to operational users. BAI maintains close connections and working relationships with the Special Operations community, with experienced BAI personnel providing on-site support at COMNAVSPECWARCOM (Naval Amphibious Base (NAB)) and Naval Spcial Warfare Group ONE in Coronado, California, Naval Special Warfare Group TWO in Virginia Beach, Virginia, 1st Special Forces Group Ft. Lewis Washington, and 10th Special Forces Group FT. Carson, Colorado.

Mission Planning
BAI has been a key contributor to the Naval Special Warfare's mission planning program since its inception in 1998, when BAI personnel helped automate "The Blue Book," NSW's mission planning doctrine. BAI subject matter experts assisted in the concept and implementation of the Special Warfare Automated Mission Planning Systems (SWAMPS), recognized as NSW's first successful mission planning program. BAI was also instrumental in the development of the concept and implementation of NSW's Mission Support Center reach-back facilities, providing users in the field with the best possible intelligence, meteorological and geo-spatial data.

BAI engineers support NSW Special Operations Mission Planning Environment: Maritime (SOMPE-M), Naval Special Warfare Group One’s Mission Support Center, and U.S. Army Special Operations (USASOC) and U.S. Special Operations Command’s (USSOCOM) Special Operations Mission Planning Environment (SOMPE) Office. BAI’s expanding SOF services include:

Laptop and peripheral purchase, inventory, and distribution.
Support for secure (SIPRNET) Mission Planning local area network (LAN) systems.
On-site SOMPE software suite administration and maintenance.

Software Development
In developing high quality software products for SOF, Brandes software developers work closely with Warfighters to provide optimum system designs and functional integration for combat and mission planning applications. Our developers pioneer ways for systems to work together more effectively as a suite of fully-interoperable tools. Some examples of our products include:

Adaptive Planning Software (APS) - automates and allows for simultaneous collaboration through the Military Decision Making Process.
Crisis Management Tool (ICMS) - open source, platform independent multifunctional communication software that provides a Common and Focused Operational Picture.
Rapid Maritime Identification and Tracking System (RMITS) - converts Events and Biometrics into Operational Actions.
SOF Tactical Toolkit (STTK) - a nucleus for integration of the diverse types of information commonly used in support of military operations.
Meteorological Decision Support System (MDSS) - automated decision support aid which integrates weather, intelligence, imagery and other essential data from diverse sources.
Tactical Decision Support System (TDSS) - a ground auto-router to assist Warfighters in choosing viable and optimal routes from a variety of transportation systems.
