Description: Tactical computing refers to a data processing approach that supports real-time tactical operations, enabling users to make informed and rapid decisions in critical situations. This type of computing focuses on the collection, analysis, and distribution of information at the point of need, rather than relying on a remote data center. Key characteristics of tactical computing include low latency, edge processing capabilities, and the integration of technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and data analytics. Its relevance lies in its ability to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness across various applications, from defense and public safety to logistics and emergency management. By allowing data to be processed and analyzed where it is generated, tactical computing helps minimize response time and optimize decision-making in situations where every second counts.
