Gen. John Morrison, commander of the Cyber Center of Excellence, said during an event hosted Dec. 13 by the Association of the U.S. Army in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, requirements for new solutions were too prescriptive and technical, often outlining maximum and minimum standards solutions had to meet at the extreme ends of each spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re not going to see requirements documents coming out of the Army, at least for the foreseeable future, that are very technical in nature saying we want to be able to do this, this and this up to 5k, very, very prescriptive requirements,\u201d Morrison said. \u201cWhat you\u2019re going to see inside these documents are operationally based requirements. This is the operational effect that we are trying to achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way this is bearing out is with the Army\u2019s cyber protection brigade. Morrison said the requirements and doctrine writers are embedded inside those operational units to see what operators are doing and then codifying those in requirements documents and in doctrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that the focus going forward is to put capabilities into the hands of soldiers in order to get feedback and refine requirements form there. Gone are the days of trying to \u201chit a home run with a monolithic program of record that takes 10 years\u201d to build, he said. The Army is going to follow a \u201cbuy, try, decide,\u201d approach instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This philosophy will allow the Army to do iterative development within the technology space \u2014 think cyber and the Army\u2019s communication\u2019s network \u2014 where solutions and capabilities are continuously changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2017\/10\/30\/a-new-network-approach-is-changing-how-the-army-does-business\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">A new network approach is changing how the Army does business<\/a><\/i>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to the network, the Army has charted out an \u201cadapt and buy\u201d strategy, that seeks to leverage capabilities that already exist and get them to operational units on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/show-reporter\/ausa\/2017\/10\/10\/army-taking-adapt-and-buy-tactic-with-new-network-strategy\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Army taking \u2018adapt and buy\u2019 tactic with new network strategy<\/a><\/i>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this space everything is going to be evolving over time and we\u2019ve got to have that inherent flexibility \u2026 because, quite frankly, our adversaries are not following the [Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System] and locking in a program of record for the next 20 years. Neither can we,\u201d Morrison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2017\/12\/15\/can-integration-give-the-army-the-tactical-edge\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Can integration give the Army the tactical edge?<\/a><\/i>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials, especially when talking about the network, have hinted at doing away with large programs of record that not only take a long time to write requirements for, but take years to field and can lead to vendor lock making inserting programmatic updates difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[<i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2017\/10\/30\/army-hopes-to-streamline-modernization-efforts-after-win-t-debacle\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Army hopes to streamline modernization efforts after WIN-T \u2018debacle\u2019<\/a><\/i>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis idea of a program of record is going to migrate to a standards-of-record kind of mindset,\u201d Lt. Gen. Bruce Crawford of CIO\/G6, which heads Army network modernization, told reporters Oct. 9 at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat allows us to take advantage of open architectures. It allows us to take advantage of other commercial and industry standard vice this program of record mindset that we\u2019re going to field for 35 or 40 years in our formations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army will begin to start writing requirements with the intended operational effects in mind to get capabilities out to
