As ANZAC Day 2024 draws to a close, there’s nothing I’d appreciate reading more than this article about the impeccable Susan Coyle AM, CSC, DSM, soon to be the first Lieutenant General from the Royal Australian Corps of Signals. As Fergus (Gus) McLachlan, AO, FRSN rightly states, “[Chief of Joint Capabilities] is really the fourth of our service chiefs. We have traditional domain chiefs for navy, army and air force, and we've had them for hundreds of years. The fourth chief is now [for] the domains that cover the new areas of human conflict.” Like so many in the space and cyber domains, I have great cause for optimism in our future. https://lnkd.in/epzks5-g

Open source and the cloud are key to #military superiority today. Clyde Seepersad shares his thoughts on how to realize information advantage in today's expanded "battlesphere" at echelon in the latest edition of "Special Warfare" magazine from the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.

Last week, Vedette ran the one-week ‘Command Advantage Two’ wargame on behalf of the Defence, Science, and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). This involved players from the Standing Joint Forces Headquarters, Permanent Join Headquarters, Army, RAF, Navy, Strategic Command, Dstl, 3 Military Intelligence Battalion, and French and Swedish Armed Forces. This analytical wargame combined traditional gaming techniques with a systems thinking approach. The purpose of the game was to assess the utility of a new planning concept being experimented with for possible inclusion into British military doctrine. As intended, the complex and ambitious wargame design (including detailed data capture and analysis plans) allowed the Vedette team to generate high confidence and evidenced inductive insights in almost real time. We are confident that this new approach can be applied in future to similar complex problems related to command, control, and relationships – military or civilian. As well as being the first of a kind for Vedette, this wargame was also the first one we have delivered with fully digital mapping. Players reported very positively on the experience of being able to navigate the map and zoom in on units using a large interactive screen! We look forward to delivering the next game in this series, which is already set to be more ambitious, innovative and pioneering than this one! #wargame #military #decisionsupport

🤔 How do we protect our data? Here at DISA, we prioritize protecting our warfighters and our workforce when on the network at all times. Listen to DISA Director of Intelligence US Army Col. Richard Leach share his thoughts on how our Intelligence Directorate does this.

Digital modernization is a key component of the Army's modernization strategy. It enhances operational efficiency, decision-making, and security. For example, the U.S. Army's efforts to modernize its electromagnetic warfare and spectrum management capabilities through the EWPMT-X pilot program demonstrate the importance of digital transformation in maintaining a competitive edge.
