DoD Platform One’s Post

10 years since founding BMNT, and the defense tech world is unrecognizable. Yesterday I stood next to David S. at a workshop. We both noticed how different it feels compared to the early days. We are professionals now, ready to roll up their sleeves and work together toward measurable goals. There is no more room for innovation theater. - People are clear about the need to change - People know what it will take to change - People are not distracted by shiny tech or buzz words - People are optimistic about the ability to change - People are NOT naive about how hard it's going be We had acquisitions folks in the room, warfighters, technical experts, researchers, and program managers. We had folks from ONR, DIU, NavalX, DCO, NSIN, MCWL, MIU, NSW, and more. Thanks to Alex Campbell for all the cat herding. Thanks to Robert Leonard, Richard Walsh, and A'ndre G. for putting together such an awesome workshop. Thanks to Stephen "Casey" Plew, Noam Oz, Scott Bewley, and Graham "Gray" Chynoweth for making it happen. Michael Stewart your team is humble, experienced, and engaged. I'm excited to see what you accomplish in a few short years! https://lnkd.in/gQWWtDWk #defense #technology #innovation #startupspeed #missionacceleration

At #PEOMLB, we are focused on improving the way we operate through creative and innovative solutions. One of the ways we do that is through our annual Innovation Day event which encourages teams from across the organization to develop solutions that address common challenges and everyday work problems. Our 2023 Innovation Day winner was a solution from the Naval Applications and Business Services (NABS) portfolio to address issues with and streamline the staff onboarding process using a Microsoft 365-based solution. It provides increased process visibility, real-time metrics and reduced errors due to manual data entry.    Our Technical Director Office (TDO) leveraged the NABS solution to develop and deploy onboarding trackers across various portfolios including Logistics IT (LOG IT), Marine Corps Logistics Integrated Information Solutions (LI2S) and MyNavy HR IT Solutions. The trackers reduce emails, errors and confusion by centralizing information to improve transparency and access while safeguarding it – all while providing cost savings through enterprise-wide available technology.  #PEOMLB #NABS #TDO Christine Rodriguez, Mary Thoms, Brandon Wehler, Christine Lamer

Multiple factors drive or hinder innovation in national security. Innovating with our #Allies and #Partners is #vital to our national security. Lack of #incentives including top cover, risk taking, and unencumbered career growth have hindered innovation and non-traditional tech adoption at the DoD. That is why at Defense Innovation Board we are kicking off two new studies: 1) Optimizing how we Innovate with our Allies and Partners 2) Aligning Incentives to drive faster tech adoption Check out the Terms of Reference here and share your insights below! https://lnkd.in/eQjYDD6h

True Anomaly was founded to be an industrial partner to the #NationalSecuritySpace community at a time of intensifying global competition. We believe an expert yet scrappy team of engineers, former DoD operators, and business strategists, working side by side with warfighters, is how the hardest national security space problems will be solved. The challenge isn’t to solve the problem once, but to build a capability that perpetually rises to new challenges—and to do it scale. And #GravityWorks is how we will accomplish this. ⬇️

💜 "Semper Fi, the journey never ends, keep learning and growing," says SentinelOne's Marques Deane, Technical Support Engineer, "use those skills and knowledge to make that big world impact." The critical thinking and problem-solving skills that Marques honed in the military helped him successfully transition to tech. "You really learn how to handle high pressure situations and work with your team to get it done in the most expedited method," he says. Marques encourages other veterans interested in transitioning to a technology career to use help-desk roles as a stepping stone into the tech industry. He also emphasizes the importance of mentorship and training programs to help veterans make a smooth transition from active duty to civilian roles. Marques's journey stands as a testament to the immense value veterans bring to tech. #sentinelone #VeteransInTech #comejoinus #MilitaryToTech
