2/2 “JWCC is over $700 million now in contracts, which is huge in just over a year's time. But we also have Stratus as an on-prem capability for those missions that require on prem. We also have this project called Olympus, which is really the foundational piece so that if you're an organization within the department that doesn't know a lot about cloud but needs something on prem, this provides all the ancillary capabilities … it's almost like TurboTax, or something like that, to where it really helps you go through, so you don't have to be the experts.” Innovations across DISA are geared toward gaining what Skinner refers to as “analytics superiority” which allows warfighters to make better decisions, faster. Ultimately, DISA’s efforts help tie directly into the department’s National Defense Strategy, which Holliday earlier in the day summed up as an effort to ensure warfighters are never in a fair fight but instead always have the upper hand.

Tackling DoD Integration Challenges As the DoD works to bolster national security, integrating diverse defense systems presents hurdles. Legacy systems, proprietary tech, and security concerns complicate the process. Amid rapid tech evolution, adaptable solutions are vital, ensuring data security. Despite obstacles, integrated systems promise enhanced military capabilities. Acuity Innovations LLC offers expertise to overcome integration challenges. We invite fellow professionals within the defense community to share their insights and experiences in navigating the complexities of system integration. Let's collaborate to create a more interconnected defense ecosystem. #DoD #DefenseTech #Integration #Interoperability

In the latest The Azure Forum for Contemporary Security Strategy #StrategicInsight Brian Molloy Head of Transformation, Irish Defence Forces, discusses The Detailed Implementation Plan for the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces, finding its publication 'a key milestone in the transformation programme as it provides a specific start and finish date for each of the individual recommendations from the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces. The plan is ambitious and reflects a significant commitment to effecting real and lasting positive change across the Irish Defence Forces with a focus on ensuring that the changes start happening as soon as possible'. https://lnkd.in/enTFnuqv

In today’s connected world, secure information exchange is crucial for military operations. That’s why Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) are vital—they allow the military to securely transfer data between different security levels, protecting critical information while ensuring mission success. Whether it's sharing intelligence, operational data, or communications across classified networks, CDS enables secure, authorized, and filtered data transfers. Discover how Owl's CDS technology support military and intelligence operations. https://hubs.la/Q02Pdcx50

Reading articles like this makes me proud to be a Lumen Human… many of you heard me talk about how Lumen Technologies is disrupting Telecom and bringing new technologies and capabilities to the market in new ways… this is another shining example of that work in action!… a great article featuring my friend and colleague Scott Barnett #winlikehell #pathofdisruption #naas #lumentechnologies

The average citizen doesn’t have to do much to upgrade to #5G. For an organization as large as the Department of Defense, the ability to securely use private, hybrid, and public 5G networks is anything but simple. Good read on how the DoD is advancing next-gen connectivity: https://bit.ly/3Md7aOZ #iwork4dell

The Pentagon's pursuit of a continuous Authority to Operate (cATO) model marks a significant shift in how the Department approaches software development and security. By adopting a more agile and risk-based approach, the DoD aims to accelerate software delivery while maintaining robust security posture. While challenges such as cultural change, technical implementation, and policy alignment remain, successful adoption of cATO could revolutionize how the military develops and deploys critical systems, ultimately enhancing mission effectiveness and national security. #dodmodernization #cato #devsecops #softwaredevelopment #nationalsecurity

Yesterday we did a technical validation of Plugnix V4 with a US Gov customer where we connected a mix of COTS and wiped non-COTS Android EUDs with a various tactical radios on a common network, including: - Harris 163 - Harris 171 - Silvus 4200 - Thales Javelin - MPU5 - TW 950 Bigger deal: we used a COTS EUD to form a bi-directional terrestrial<->cloud TAK CoT bridge via Cisco AnyConnect to an Azure Gov cloud. This can be done on any Android EUD in the world + your chosen digital radio net, via your chosen VPN and to your chosen cloud, with Software only. This about moving incomparably faster than legacy custom hardware for the warfighters and first responders globally.
