When the DOD released its Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, implementation plan in March 2022, the vision for the modernization effort was crystallizing around promising technologies and products. Now, there is a push to speed up the effort, focusing on a plan to reach initial operational capability, prioritizing enhanced capabilities across the Indo-Pacific region.   We’re getting closer! And Fuse is doing its part to advance joint force communications capabilities, with increased production of our products this year.   Nextgov/FCW has more on the JADC2 acceleration efforts: https://lnkd.in/eatmsc3n   #JADC2 #DefenseTech #DefenseInnovation #DefenseIndustry #Modernization

Capability advantage is not just about having world-leading capability. It's about having that capability in time and in the right place. Accelerating design, manufacture, testing, operations planning and all those iterative steps between require cooperation and information - in an environment which requires the highest levels of data protection across an access permissions matrix of roles, security levels, organisational boundaries, geopolitical boundaries... #Secure #Selective #Datasharing: IOTICS

After two months in the job, the Department of Navy’s CIO is looking at updating the sea services’ information superiority vision with a focus on data. Published in 2020, the document had three key focus areas: modernize, innovate and defend. Now, Jane Rathbun wants to move to a more data-centric approach. “We are going to evolve to 2.0 in our information superiority vision [which] is going to go from modernize, innovate and defend — all very important things, we’re not going to stop doing any of those things — to optimize, secure and decide,” she said at the Google Defense Forum Thursday. “How do we make data a central focus of our efforts to make sure that it’s available, transparent, trustworthy, consumable and decision worthy? You’re going to see over the next six months our evolution of that concept.” The Department of Defense writ large has begun to shift to more of a data-centric approach vice a network-centric approach that envisioned a castle-and-mote mentality to network access. A data-centric model is about ensuring the right information can be accessed by the right person anywhere, with the proper security controls in place. Does your team have solutions?

Exciting news from the Pentagon! They are currently developing an advanced data analytics platform called GO (Gamechanger Operations). This initiative aims to revolutionize how the Department of Defense handles data by integrating diverse sources and providing sophisticated analytical tools. The goal is to significantly enhance decision-making processes, boost operational efficiency, and increase overall effectiveness in defense operations. This project underscores the critical role of data utilization in modern defense strategies and highlights the commitment to leveraging technology for improved outcomes. As the platform takes shape, it represents a major step forward in the Pentagon's efforts to harness data for strategic advantages. The integration of various data sources into a cohesive system will empower analysts and decision-makers with more comprehensive and actionable insights. This development not only aims to streamline operations but also to ensure that the Department of Defense remains at the forefront of technological innovation in national security. #DataAnalytics #DefenseInnovation #Pentagon

🗣️“...If we just focus on the main driver of those investments, the Department of Defense, there was $1.8 billion requested in the 2024 federal budget for DoD for AI alone. When you look at what checks they actually wrote…it was even greater, it was about $2 billion. Those are good signals that DoD is serious about the application of AI for warfighting capabilities, and frankly, its business processes. With two major caveats…” Listen to CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty discuss key highlights from Govini’s 2024 National Security Scorecard with Thomas Temin of Federal News Network: https://lnkd.in/e7a4RB2n #DefenseTech #NationalSecurity

Got my first pass at thematic coding for my research topic. Here is the Project Question: "What are the perspectives of U.S. defense vendor executives’ regarding strategies for designing cloud-modern solutions that meet U.S. Government's ATO guidelines?" I've still got a few interviews left but we can start to see some themes taking shape. Data analysis will be complete in a few weeks and the paper should be published in June. Tagging a few experts for visibility. Erik Schlegel Brent Stineman Rob Fraser Nicolas M. Chaillan Sarah K. #defenseindustry #ato #fedramp #innovation #governmentpolicy

The United States Department of Defense is making significant progress in establishing a robust data backbone for the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiative, which promises to transform military operations. This foundational data backbone is crucial for enabling the seamless integration and sharing of information across various military branches. By enhancing communication and collaboration, JADC2 aims to facilitate faster decision-making and improve operational efficiency during joint missions. The initiative is designed to break down silos between different service branches, ensuring that air, land, sea, space, and cyber forces can work together cohesively. Recent developments include the implementation of advanced cloud-based solutions and new data-sharing protocols that support real-time collaboration among military personnel. For instance, using cloud technology allows service members to access critical data from multiple platforms instantly, regardless of their location. This capability is particularly beneficial during complex operations where timely information can make a significant difference in outcomes. Additionally, exercises testing these systems have already shown promising results, demonstrating how integrated data can enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness. The work being done now is not just about technology; it represents a cultural shift in how the military operates. Achieving JADC2’s vision of interconnectedness is essential for maintaining a strategic advantage over adversaries, especially in a rapidly changing global landscape where threats can emerge from any domain. As the military embraces this digital transformation, the reliability and scalability of the data infrastructure will be critical. This transformation will not only enhance military readiness but also shape future strategies, ensuring that forces can respond effectively to dynamic challenges. #JADC2 #DataBackbone #MilitaryInnovation #Pentagon #JointOperations #Cyber #CloudComputing #DigitalTransformation #DefenseStrategy #Interoperability #FutureWarfare #Agility #ResponsiveForce #StrategicAdvantage #MilitaryReadiness
