PHILADELPHIA \u2014 U.S. Army cyber and technology programs are changing hands amid a shake-up of the service\u2019s acquisitions offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, or PEO IEW&S<\/a>, headed by Mark Kitz, will by Oct. 1 absorb defensive cyber operations, cyber analytics and detection, cyber platforms and systems, and the technology applications office. Those efforts are now associated with the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems, or PEO EIS, run by Ross Guckert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move coincides with the start of the government\u2019s fiscal 2024, as well as a separate consolidation of network portfolios involving the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, or PEO C3T, overseen by Maj. Gen. Anthony Potts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The portfolio changes across all three PEOs were discussed May 24 at a conference with industry known as Technical Exchange Meeting X<\/a>, in Philadelphia. No jobs are expected to be cut, and contracts should flow as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSynergy, our optimization of the organization here, is really important for us as a cyber enterprise,\u201d Kitz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
