The OSCAR effort is designed do develop AI/ML software that can detect spectrum interference and re-route users to open comms channels in near real time.
By Theresa HitchensHow to ensure readiness of next-generation defense technology: Solving the issue of massive heat.
High-performance systems generate tremendous amounts of heat that can compromise missions and make high-tech systems less effective in tactical environments. But there is a solution to this modern-age challenge.

“The challenge is taking the data that you want to share — you got to understand it, and how you want to share it — and then write the applications that give you that data quality at the highest level, and compress timelines for those decision makers,” said Randy Walden, head of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office.

“The notion is, you have an embarrassment of riches, and you’re falling behind on speed and magnitude. This is what is sometimes called Schumpeter’s Gale. The notion is, it’s not about the competition — it’s about you,” said Jeffrey DeGraff, of the University of Michigan.

Military innovation and savings: Go commercial
DoD uses FAR Part 12 acquisitions to save hundreds of millions of dollars in “of a type” systems like civil landing systems with applicability to military aircraft.
“Our secretary has been very clear that he wants us to move rapidly from experimentation and demonstration to fielding,” says Air Force Chief Architect Preston Dunlap.

“One of the challenges that I see with JADC2 is: is it really joint? Or is it SADC2 — in other words, is it really just a service all domain command and control?” quipped George Ka’iliwai, director of requirements and resources (J8), at Indo-Pacific Command headquarters.

The expanded experimentation campaign is also building new “business approaches” — some of which will require Pentagon-level blessing — to speed software-based capabilities to the field, DAF Chief Architect Preston Dunlap said.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is reportedly finishing its study of command and control architecture options to best defend Guam, the farthest outpost of our homeland. This new C2 system must have three features: an open architecture, the ability to bring different services’ radars and interceptors together, and disaggregation. Since leaving Indo-PACOM to pursue other…
