ABOUT US
Apex Solutions was established in 2020 by Brigadier General (r) Greg Bowen, USA. After spending the final 2 years of his career at United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) as the Deputy Director of Global Operations, he wanted to continue to utilize his knowledge and experience supporting the Department of Defense’s top priority of modernizing the nuclear enterprise to include the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), the Columbia-class Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN), and the B-21 bomber.
Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3)
What is often overlooked, with regard to modernizing the forementioned nuclear triad, is the Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) system which is also being modernized and is arguably just as technically challenging as the weapon system platforms. NC3 provides the President of the United States with assured means of communicating his intent in real-time to the nuclear forces through all phases of nuclear conflict (pre, trans, and post).
As you would expect, the DoD has strict security standards for the NC3 system to provide positive, trusted and authentic communications. As the Air Force, Navy and USSTRATCOM continue to modernize the NC3 architecture leveraging today’s information technology and cloud services, Apex Solutions provides un-biased analysis and advice regarding Defense Industrial Base capabilities, balanced with the essential security standards that must be maintained.
