In this episode we chat with some of the leadership team from Army Futures Command
We discuss:
- What exactly does a Chief Product and Innovation Officer do and why is a role like this needed in the DoD?
- How has AFC built on lessons learned from previous efforts, such as Kessel Run?
- We know there's a push for Soldier-led Software Development, why is that and what is it important for National Security, over traditional ways of doing software development within the DoD?
- We know there's a push towards Cloud, DevSecOps etc. within DoD, how does the Army's approach differ from say the Air Force's, and what are the similarities?
- What are some of the challenges with trying to implement the Software Factory concept in the DoD?
- You recently spoke at an event by the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum (DEF), titled DEFxSoftware, why are groups like these important for the innovation ecosystem of the DoD?
- I know the Army cloud office has spoken on the need for "CISO-as-a-Service" technologies, what does that mean exactly?
