The DoD's biggest challenge isn't tech. It's integration. 📌 In this DefenseScoop article, reporter Mark Pomerleau explores how the Army plans to inject more tactical cyber capabilities into division-level units over the next two years, aiming to integrate RF and cyber effects directly into battlefield operations. It's a shift that highlights how complex the intersection between strategy, software, and soldiers can be. 🤔 We asked our CEO, Donte Lewis, what stood out: "I have learned over the years that the pointiest end or edge of mission is either bombarded with tools and capabilities they can’t use and/or they’re starving for capabilities they desperately need. Much of that is lost in translation at the strategic and program levels, just based on how the DoD is structured and traditionally operates. The warfighters at the edge of the mission speak a different lexicon, with a more granular (tactical) focus than the people creating capabilities. In addition, the senior leadership layer has their own lexicon, focus, and approach. Where and when these three worlds collide, there are inherent challenges that result in the warfighters not getting what they need when needed. The key to making this work is understanding the entirety of these three worlds. Integrating them to improve communication, planning, strategy, and execution. This adds immeasurable value for all stakeholders, especially the warfighter." 💬 What are you seeing as your organization pushes toward the future? 🔗Link to Article: https://lnkd.in/eKCkSxDc

This framework, just released by MITRE’s National Security Engineering Center (NSEC), is a game-changer for our military. It reduces delays, lowers risks, and gives decision makers the insights they need to make smart investments. Most importantly, it means our warfighters are equipped with the best tools to stay ahead and accomplish their missions. I’m proud of MITRE’s role in driving this effort, and excited to see the impact TMaF will have on national security and the people who defend it. #DefenseInnovation #NationalSecurity #DefenseAcquisition #WarfighterAdvantage

ARCYBER chief’s advice to industry: Make interoperable tech and start at the edge August 20, 2025, Breaking Defense https://lnkd.in/g_pwHgZc TECHNET AUGUSTA 2025 — As the Army embarks on its modernization journey in line with the service’s recent transformation initiative, its cyber leader made clear that the service is seeking interoperable, off-the-shelf capabilities from industry to replace more bespoke, rigid offerings. “The biggest opportunities that I see are from a modularity and platform independence standpoint. I think our approach is to use shared frameworks and APIs [application programming interfaces] in order to have cyber and EW [electronic warfare] effects be able to talk to each other,” Lt. Gen. Maria Barrett, the commanding general of Army Cyber Command, said Tuesday during a fireside chat here in Augusta.

The Army's modernization strategy is clear: interoperable, off-the-shelf capabilities that can adapt at the tactical edge. Lt. Gen. Maria Barrett emphasized the need for modular solutions using shared frameworks and APIs, enabling cyber and electronic warfare effects to work seamlessly together. This approach supports the Army's Next Generation Command and Control initiative while reducing technical debt. Key requirements for industry partners: -Design for contested environments from the ground up -Ensure operability in DDIL conditions -Build with modularity and platform independence in mind The message is clear: don't try to retrofit enterprise solutions for edge operations. Start with contestation in mind. Ready to support the Army's modernization efforts with battle-tested solutions?
