The Uli (Unified Link Interface) SDK is a comprehensive suite of software libraries designed to enable seamless integration of asset capabilities across multiple domains. By offering standardized, unified interfaces within the infrastructure, the Uli SDK aligns with the Department of Defense (DoD) Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). This ensures smooth interoperability between modules, supporting the dynamic addition, removal, or reconfiguration of components as operational needs evolve.
Building on its foundational interoperability, the Uli SDK empowers advanced Data Visualization and AI agent integration by providing consistent interfaces to access and interact with data topics and asset capabilities. This enables developers to create sophisticated solutions that enhance situational awareness, optimize decision-making, and improve system performance across diverse operational domains.
Here are some application areas where the Uli SDK excels:
