Interesting article on Forbes on the US DoD challenge around accelerating R&D into capability that can be deployed to the warfighter. Highlights the disconnect between agencies such as DARPA with a technology push model, yet end warfighter capability is delivered through traditional acquisiton agencies. This challenge is not new or unique to Defence. For me we need a new model of rapid technology maturation with intimate involvement from end users from the get go taking a leaf out of the world of DevSecOps in software. #r&d #innovation https://lnkd.in/ex5FjuMR

Military groups from across the nation continue to leverage NSIN Bootcamp to learn innovative methods for problem-solving and to put those methods into action to deliver organizational change. Hanscom Air Force Base (Mass.) recently leveraged Bootcamp to decide how they might use technology forecasting to make more informed decisions. Four teams comprised of individuals from across the organization pitched solutions including adopting automation to increase capacity, developing a virtual assistant to act as a force multiplier, leveraging homomorphic encryption for secure calculations, and implementing a “checkmate” acquisition method to ensure emerging technologies and active threats are proactively considered.

At the core of “competitive overmatch” is data and technology – the ability to make better decisions, faster, at any level, anywhere. We should talk. Technological superiority within the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and on the battlefield requires more than identifying best-of-breed solutions. It also requires agility and adaptability to enable rapid change. Our Digital Experience Platform (DXP) approach separates the front-end user experience from back-end system complexity. It enables you to create built-for-purpose applications that are easy to use while eliminating vendor lock-in and future-proofing your technology environment. If this sounds interesting, contact us at KineticData.com to arrange a connection at the Modern Day Marine event, April 30 – May 2 in Washington, DC. We’re battle-tested. We’ve been implementing solutions over the past decade for the US Navy and United States Marine Corps, the Defense Information Systems Agency, The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the Missile Defense Agency, and more. Let’s talk about how we can help with your mission. #marines #datamesh #CDAO #software #devsecops #MDM24 #ModernDayMarine Cc Alex Gierber, Phillip "Phil" Frietze, Stephen Lightfoot, Marine Corps League, Marine Corps Association, Andrew Konicki, Bryan Eovito, CISM, CDPSE, Bryan Hatfield, Craig Clarkson, Dane Salm, Colonel Devin "Lick" Licklider, PMP, Howard Hall, Karl Arbogast, Kirk Spangenberg

Delivering information to the decision-makers who need it -- from the DoD to the battlefield -- reliably, securely, and at the speed of relevance is crucial. Let's talk at TEM. At the upcoming US Army Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM) 12, “The network is the Army’s number one transformation priority.” That means getting information where and when it’s needed, in a simple and intuitive way for users. Kinetic Data’s Digital Experience Platform (DXP) separates the front-end user interface from complex back-end IT infrastructure, integrating with virtually any system or data source in place today—as well as what will be in place tomorrow. It enables process owners to rapidly develop built-for-purpose user-facing applications using a backend-as-a-service (#BaaS) approach while future-proofing the Army’s network of the future. This isn’t our first mission. Over the past decade, we’ve implemented solutions for the US Army JLTV, US Army EITaaS, US Army CHS, Army National Guard, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), and more. Connect with us at the US Army’s TEM 12 event, May 28-30 at the Marriott City Center in Philadelphia, PA.
