John Aquilino, commander of INDOPACOM, announced the creation of the directorate at the National Defense Industrial Association\u2019s Emerging Technologies for Defense conference in Washington. The office will work to ensure the command\u2019s top priority programs have a network of support within the Defense Department and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/04\/04\/apples-beck-to-lead-defense-innovation-unit-at-pentagon\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Pentagon\u2019s liaison to commercial companies<\/a>, the DIU official embedded in the directorate will play a key role in making sure the connection between technological needs and industry solutions is strong, DIU Director Doug Beck told reporters Aug. 29 on the sidelines of the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe person will be somebody who is that dual-fluency talent, who combines deep expertise in relevant technical areas from the commercial sector as well as doing it live at DIU in a leadership role for a while, working with concrete commercial solutions to DoD problems,\u201d Beck said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leader, who will serve as the Joint Mission Accelerator Directorate\u2019s deputy director as well as the CTO, will be joined by a team of DIU staff working throughout INDOCPACOM, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through its Defense Engagement Team, DIU has officials embedded in other combatant commands and units throughout the military services, including U.S. European Command and U.S. Special Operations Command. Beck said the arrangement with INDOPACOM is part of an effort to \u201cdramatically\u201d build the commercial innovation organization\u2019s presence within existing offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is about taking that capability and going to a whole other level,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is an embed role that\u2019s about being part of the team to help solve a problem . . . help identify where the places are that commercial technology can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate speech at the conference, Beck said the expansion of DIU\u2019s partnerships within the Defense Department is part of a deliberate shift toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/07\/20\/pentagon-innovation-hub-wants-to-field-commercial-tech-at-scale\/\" target=\"_blank\">fielding military-relevant commercial technologies at a larger scale<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means \u201cbeing disruptors of the team to disruptors on the team,\u201d he said. While DIU will maintain its focus on finding commercial capabilities and \u201cserving them up,\u201d Beck hopes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/06\/23\/house-panel-eyes-billion-dollar-pentagon-fund-to-push-commercial-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\">building deeper relationships within the department<\/a> will help the organization \u201cunderstand the demand signal and then make sure that we can help find the solutions to those problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere was a time when disruptors of the team was what was needed,\u201d Beck said. \u201cNow, what we\u2019ve got to do is we\u2019ve got to be disruptors on the team. And that\u2019s about disruption at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DIU has crafted a plan for this expanded role, which Beck said is awaiting review and approval from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A DIU official embedded in the directorate will help ensure it maintains a strong connection between technological needs
