More recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/03\/14\/new-in-house-software-factory-will-train-marines-as-coders\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Marine Corps followed suit, opening up its own software factory<\/a> in the same city in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing this whole blending of development and production into a single environment supported by this software factory ecosystem that\u2019s given us this tremendous agility to move forward,\u201d said Vietmeyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that the Pentagon is \u201cnow engaging with our industry partners where we\u2019re trying to build combined assets as critical first-class citizens within this future environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Jennifer Krolikowski, the Space Force\u2019s chief information officer, noted the importance of data \u2013 and the creation of military software factories to enhance the military\u2019s ability to harvest it \u2013 in an increasingly crowded and novel theater, while praising the Pentagon\u2019s shift \u201cout of that industrial way of building and into that digital way of doing things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s actually very encouraging that all these people want to start software factories because I think they\u2019re starting to recognize \u2013 even just from an agile mindset \u2013 we need to build differently than we have in the past,\u201d Krolikowski told C4ISRNET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She stressed the Space Force\u2019s work on Project Enigma to create a \u201cdigital backbone\u201d in a \u201ccongested and contested environment,\u201d noting that \u201cChina has 300% more assets in space than they had just even a few years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing kind of an Armageddon year, if you will, by the 2026 time frame,\u201d Krolikowski said. \u201cWe need to build our capabilities faster than any demand signal we\u2019ve ever experienced before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon&#8217;s top software
