WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S Army is rolling out a strategy focused on software, data and artificial intelligence practices, a move officials believe will clarify for industry what the service needs to transform into a high-tech, digital-forward force and how, exactly, it plans to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy, which will be unveiled during the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference, is meant to help \u201cpivot our programs to adopt modern software practices, adopt data-centricity, and get us to artificial intelligence, machine learning and [figuring] out where the right applications of that are so that we can really enable commanders in the field to make data-driven, fast decisions,\u201d Jennifer Swanson, the deputy assistant secretary of the Army<\/a> for data engineering and software, told Defense News in an interview ahead of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swanson\u2019s title alone hints at the transformation underway for the Army\u2019s acquisition branch. When she was hired earlier this year, she was chief systems engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy arrives as the Army conducts a massive overhaul of its virtual footprint and computer infrastructure in order to better prepare for potential conflicts with China and Russia<\/a>. Those foreign powers \u2014 the two most pressing national security threats, according to a brief summary of the latest National Defense Strategy \u2014 invest significantly in military science and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a way, the new strategy is taking what industry does well and applies those best practices. Swanson said the Army is already doing some of this, but it must be done on a grander scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old way of developing software<\/a> began with requirements developers laying out what they want, and then having the software development community, usually through a contract award, take over to create something to satisfy the requirements. By the time the Army developed a solution years down the road, the software wouldn\u2019t work well in the systems for which it was initially tailored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, industry follows \u201cagile software development,\u201d Swanson said, which means the requirements developers, testers and cyber experts are all part of the development team. Working from a needs statement, the group starts coding in a sprint, which takes several weeks. Then, requirements developers review it to see if, in reality, it\u2019s hitting the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, as software undergoes development, it can run through an automated pipeline for testing and cyber scanning to check for vulnerabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thought is that a few sprints\u2019 worth of code equates to a minimum viable product, Swanson said, \u201cwhich is actually a delivery that you can start putting capabilities in the hands of users.\u201d This can shrink development time down to weeks and months, rather than years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One indicator of the strategy\u2019s implementation will be the presence of modern software practices in outgoing requests for proposals<\/a>. \u201cWe want good solutions, and we want companies that can do this and can be agile with us,\u201d Swanson said, \u201cso that as requirements change, they can evolve the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the transformation strategy includes what the Army is calling data centricity<\/a> \u2014 making information available to the right people \u201cand not locking it in the systems,\u201d Swanson explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a lot of data that\u2019s locked inside the systems that users can\u2019t access, and so it really means exposing it, making it available with some kind of identity management,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army\u2019s acquisition branch is developing a data mesh reference architecture as part of the strategy, Swanson noted, which \u201cis kind of a new concept.\u201d And while the Army will continue to use data fabrics, \u201cdata mesh will federate those fabrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data mesh<\/a> reference architecture will \u201csimplify the architecture,\u201d she added. \u201cToday we have a very hierarchical and complicated architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bigger picture<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason the digital transformation strategy is now taking shape is due to Young Bang, the deputy acquisition chief, who was hired earlier this year. Bang brings with him an immense amount of technical know-how from industry as well as experience inside the Army and its institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe data mesh, that was his idea,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cHe was pretty much instantly able to come in and be able to apply his technical expertise<\/a> to what we do and what we need to do and figure out what the gaps are and figure out solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean, plentiful data is increasingly the lifeblood of U.S. military endeavors, especially as the services work to achieve the Pentagon\u2019s Joint All-Domain Command and Control vision of seamless coordination across land, air, sea, space and cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army\u2019s contribution to JADC2 is Project Convergence, a weekslong evaluation of cutting-edge kit in demanding conditions. The service this year plans to test artificial intelligence and machine-learning<\/a> capabilities as well as systems that quickly shuttle data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, beginning in October and wrapping up in November, should provide lessons learned for both the battlefield and the headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there are things that come out of Project Convergence<\/a> that indicate that there\u2019s a better way, a different way, another way, we\u2019ll take that all under consideration,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to be able to see, from an integration perspective, how all this stuff works. We\u2019ll absolutely leverage that and whatever else is out there for us to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
