Looking to “catapult over the bureaucracy” that’s known to decelerate innovation across Pentagon components, the Navy is getting set to launch a new opportunity designed to accelerate resources to ultimately help deploy and scale emerging technologies that get after some of the greatest challenges warfighters will need to confront in modern conflicts, two senior officials told DefenseScoop. https://lnkd.in/eBZqq92z

The Pentagon’s plan for re-competing its maturing and widely used enterprise data and analytics platform — Advana — is designed around funding up to $15 billion in contracts to a diverse range of companies over the next 10 years, Chief Digital and AI Officer Radha Plumb announced on Wednesday at an industry day in Virginia. There’s still much to unravel and resolve, however, around how the overarching acquisition process will pan out and the number of vendors that might be involved, three senior CDAO officials told DefenseScoop during the event. https://lnkd.in/eyy6_m7S

Microsoft is teaming up with defense technology company Anduril to boost the capabilities of its Integrated Visual Augmentation System as Army officials ponder the future of the program. IVAS has been one of the Army’s highest-priority modernization initiatives, with Microsoft as the prime contractor. The system — which includes ruggedized headgear and software with night-vision, thermal sensing and augmented reality capabilities, among others — was inspired by the company’s HoloLens 2 device. The service aims to use the equipment for both training and battlefield operations for dismounted troops. The program could be worth as much as $21.9 billion if it comes to full fruition. https://lnkd.in/e7bCqVrQ

The Air Force has delivered its cloud-based command and control (CBC2) capability to all of the air defense sectors within the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), according to the official leading the effort. The service began deploying CBC2 as a replacement for legacy command-and-control systems used in air defense missions in October 2023, beginning with NORAD’s Eastern air defense sector. The Air Force has since finished fielding the capability to all of the air defense sectors across the United States and Canada, Maj. Gen. Luke Cropsey, program executive officer for command, control, communications and battle management (C3BM), told reporters Wednesday at AFA’s Air, Space and Cyber conference. https://lnkd.in/e3cQmC2m
