The U.S. Department of Defense said it lined up at least 100 task orders tied to its multibillion-dollar Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 47 orders have already been awarded to contractors, and over 50 are \u201cin the pipeline right now,\u201d according to Defense Department Chief Information Officer John Sherman<\/a>. The figures are up sharply from August, when officials said they were working with more than 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s environment \u2026 it is critical more than ever that we provide DOD personnel with secure and resilient software when and where they need it,\u201d Sherman told the House\u2019s Cyber, Information Technology and Innovation panel March 22. Exactly how many orders have been completed thus far was unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defense Department in December 2022<\/a> tapped Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle to supply digital services for the JWCC, itself the successor to the failed Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure venture, or JEDI. The JWCC is valued up to $9 billion over several years. The four companies compete for each order dished out, with each only guaranteed $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloud capability contract is considered the backbone of the Defense Department\u2019s connect-everything-everywhere campaign dubbed Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control. The CJADC2 concept envisions troops and their databases seamlessly linked across land, air, sea, space and cyber, and spanning unclassified, classified and top secret designations.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
