Stephen Donald, deputy commander of the 10th Fleet, is an extension of enterprise systems to \u201cour maritime assets afloat, for all our weapons platforms out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we go to the afloat side, I love the cloud, right, but I don\u2019t have access to the cloud all the time,\u201d he said April 4 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/navy-league\/\" target=\"_blank\">Navy League\u2019s Sea-Air-Space conference<\/a> in National Harbor, Maryland. The 10th Fleet is directly involved with Navy cyber operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI need industry to figure out how to give me a \u2018virtual cloud,\u2019 if you will, while afloat, so that while I\u2019m disconnected, I still have all the capabilities I can possibly have locally,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then, when I reconnect, it is seamless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy vessels dot waters the world over, separated by vast distances and fickle weather conditions, and are expected to play a critical role should the U.S. come to blows with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/intel-geoint\/2023\/04\/05\/china-russia-propaganda-wither-as-cameras-multiply-us-admiral-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">China in the Indo-Pacific<\/a> or Russia in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5799\" height=\"3871\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Rear-Adm.-Steven-Donald-Sea-Air-Space.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Navy Rear Adm.

Tracy Hines<\/a>, the cybersecurity division director at the office of the chief of naval operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just need to have more robustness and more resiliency in that area, and I know there\u2019s a lot of people that are working on that,\u201d she said Tuesday at the conference. \u201cI think the big challenge is when you\u2019re in that denied, degraded, intermittent environment, how do you overcome that, so when you do come back online you can still have what you need and keep moving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy in December 2022 awarded Amazon a five-year, $724 million contract for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/industry\/2022\/12\/07\/amazon-google-microsoft-and-oracle-picked-for-9b-jedi-successor\/\" target=\"_blank\">access to the company\u2019s commercial cloud<\/a>, related professional services and training options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon is also one of four companies picked for the Pentagon\u2019s Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability, a competitive deal worth up to $9 billion. The JWCC arrangement was engineered to complement service-led cloud efforts, not commandeer them, defense officials say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navy vessels dot waters
