The current transformation phase the USMC is undergoing is focused on ways the Marines as a distributed force can more effectively support the joint force. This is the most recent phase of change for the modern USMC, which has followed the significant change driven by the coming of the Osprey, the lead on the F-35 global enterprise, and now a new aviation capability, the CH-53K coming to the force. USMC aviation is a backbone to force distribution, notably when one focuses on the movement of force, or logistics support. https://lnkd.in/gdtPuMhJ

"Through the use of open architectures and new technologies such as digital beamforming, resources can be efficiently shared among several different helicopter systems." - Jason Wilden, Cubic Defense Technical Fellow   Read more in Military Embedded Systems guest blog about Cubic's Secure Communications and how the adoption of consolidated avionics is revolutionizing helicopter operations: https://lnkd.in/eJUWsFT2

There’s been a lot of talk about #Army2030, but what is it? The Army of 2030 is a modernization effort designed to shift priorities to fit the characteristics of today’s international competition and deploy technologies necessary to succeed on the evolving battlefield. https://lnkd.in/gUG-ivBP

Basically simplifying scope and expectations for CAF to focus on fighting with what we have and letting others focus on what we need. So brilliantly simple as things have become so conflated with everyone throwing in on requirements and acquisition these days. I like the strategic direction.

AUSA 2023: US Army Plans to Issue a New Conventional Fires Strategy by Year End The service is in the midst of a modernisation effort that has focused on long-range precision fires; next-generation combat vehicles; future vertical lift aircraft; the network; air and missile defence; and soldier lethality. It is now expanding that focus to positioning, navigation and timing, as well as advanced training technology. But the war in Ukraine has impacted much of the Army’s decisions.

As promised, Macy Summers President & CEO, Blu Wireless Inc. presents his highlights from last year, plus his predictions for the year ahead in defence technology. What was big last year? ➡️The emergence of drones as a modern warfare component. ➡️ A real-time demonstration of mmWave connectivity at Gbit speeds. ➡️ The DoD have pivoted to 'on-the-move'. And this year? ↗️ The rise of the digital battlefield and the connectivity challenge. ↗️ The standardisation of mmWave for primary communications for the Army and Marine Corps. #defense #mmWave #USMC #USArmy #militarycomms #defensetechnology #electronicwarfare

The U.S. Army is set to launch a Deep Sensing Cross-Functional Team in the coming weeks, as announced by Gen. Randy George at the McAleese Defense Programs Conference. This initiative, directed by the Army Futures Command, underscores deep sensing as a pivotal focus for the Army, echoing Secretary Christine Wormuth's emphasis on enhancing the Army's ability to "see and sense farther and more persistently" across the battlefield than adversaries. This effort aims at modernizing aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities to process vast amounts of data from diverse sources, supporting the Army's primary modernization goal of long-range precision fires. The deep sensing team will explore various platforms, including high-altitude balloons and jets, to determine the optimal capabilities and formations for future operations, marking a significant step in the Army's strategic modernization efforts. #army #deepSensing #crossFunctionalTeam #ArmyFuturesCommand #modernization #longRangePrecisionFires #intelligence #surveillance #reconnaissance #militaryInnovation Source- https://lnkd.in/eS6Cani4

“Secretary Frank Kendall, acting undersecretary Kristyn Jones, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin, and Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman detailed 24 action items and an aggressive schedule for implementation in a joint presentation to open the conference. Citing the prospect of conflict—either through a military move by China on Taiwan or miscalculation that could escalate—Kendall said it is well past time to make changes. “We are out of time,” he repeated several times during his remarks. The Air Force will reorient its major commands to focus on combat readiness, peeling off their requirements and weapons development functions and consolidating those into a new Integrated Capabilities Command. Headed by a three-star general and reporting directly to the Chief and Secretary of the Air Force, it becomes a new power center for current and future programs. The idea is to have leaders be able to define requirements and build programs without having to manage a competing focus on today and tomorrow. “We need to both be ready today with the force that we have. We need to approach that with a sense of urgency,” Allvin said. “But we also need to update—reoptimize, dare I say—the processes, the policies, the authorities, and in some cases, the structure to be competitive for the long term. We need to do both of these at the same time.” #ai #spaceforce #emergingtechnologies #adaptiveleadership https://lnkd.in/epWitiFg
