When the mission can't wait for a rebuild.
How regulated enterprises connect legacy and modern systems—securely, auditably, and at mission speed—with the Central Data eXchange.

01 — The Mission Owner
Your Goal
You have a mission that depends on data you can't reach.
You lead in a federal, defense, or regulated environment where the mission is non-negotiable. You want one thing that should be simple:the right data, in the right hands, at the right time—without compromising security, compliance, or operational control.
You want AI and analytics working at operational speed. New capability in the field in weeks, not years. And all of it holding up under audit, oversight, and the realities of how your enterprise actually runs today.
02 — The Problem
What Stands in the Way
The systems you depend on weren't built to talk to each other.
Critical information is locked inside hundreds of separate systems of record—each built in its own era, each speaking its own language. The result: an interoperability challenge compounded by decades of technical debt, heterogeneous architectures, and the hard requirement to stay auditable while operations never stop.
Siloed & inaccessible
Data trapped behind brittle, one-off point-to-point connections that can't scale.
The quiet worry
That modernization breaks what works—that a migration disrupts the warfighter, or the next integration fails an audit.
An unfair choice
You shouldn't have to choose between moving fast and staying in control.
A mission owner shouldn't have to rebuild the entire enterprise just to use the data it already has.
03 — The Guide
Who Walks Beside You
Redhawk has done this—inside the environments you operate in.
We understand these environments because we work inside them: systems that can't be replaced on a modernization timeline, oversight that can't be deferred, missions that can't pause.That's the problem CDX was built to solve.
04 — The Plan
How It Works
CDX connects what you have. It doesn't replace it.
A trusted, governed data and integration layer for mission-critical environments. It connects your systems, governs them, and makes their data usable—at speed, at scale, within compliance boundaries.
Connect without disruption
A mission-aware abstraction layer lets backend systems evolve—or stay exactly as they are—while your operational picture stays intact. Deploy federated, hosted, or both: data moves anywhere to anywhere, and no system surrenders autonomy.
Govern & secure every exchange
Governance is the foundation, not a feature. Centralized API lifecycle, policy enforcement, versioning, and access control are built in. An identity-centric Zero Trust posture aligned to NIST 800-53, 800-171, and TIC 3.0 makes every exchange traceable and every access event accountable.
Unlock AI at mission speed
With a governed data foundation, AI runs on verified, controlled data—not fragmented feeds. CDX is agent-ready, exposing governed APIs as tools via the Model Context Protocol so agent-driven workflows operate within guardrails: the right data, to the right user, at the right time, for the right reason.
05 — Success
What Your World Looks Like
Modernization without risking readiness.
This is not theory. In the Navy supply and logistics enterprise, CDX already delivers it at scale.
Solution of choice for an upcoming ERP+ re-platform effort.
Planned across naval vessels—interoperability that holds even at sea.
Legacy services converted to governed REST APIs by five engineers.
Multi-cloud bridging with guaranteed delivery and end-to-end audit.
06 — What's at Stake
The Cost of Standing Still
The alternative is more of the same—only riskier.
Without a governed interoperability layer, the gap widens. Every new mission need becomes another brittle, one-off integration—hard to secure, harder to audit, impossible to scale. Technical debt compounds, AI runs on data you can't trust, and modernization keeps colliding with readiness. In environments where failure is not an option,ungoverned integration is a risk you carry on every mission.
Your Next Step
Start a conversation about your environment.
We'll map your systems, constraints, and mission priorities to a federated or hosted deployment path—and show you what a governed, low-risk pilot looks like.
