He gave a detailed look at AFC's upcoming priorities and shared insights on the future of defense, including: • U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and regional threats remain a top priority • A shift towards continuous capability testing to enable iterative innovations and accelerate operational use • Adopting a data-driven approach to break down silos These discussions underscore the critical role of modern, agile software that can adapt to dynamic threats across the globe. We look forward to partnering with industry and warfighters at experimentation exercises in 2024. #AUSA #USArmy #ArmyFuturesCommand #NationalSecurity #SoftwareDefinedDefense

The Israeli design movement through Naveh changed their methodology (SOD) from the first generation (1990s-2000s) to a second version that ran from 2006-2012 and was significant in how American and partnered nations learned about design. This is covered in my 6th chapter in 'Understanding the Military Design Movement' which explains how Naveh and his fellow designers developed their ideas further, leading to a 3rd version of SOD and currently in 2023, a 4th iteration.

It was an honor and a privilege to have my former boss at the Department of Defense, Ms. Tanya Skeen, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions (Acting), come on the podcast and discuss the needs of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), and why Congress must pass the Defense Appropriations Act and National Secuity Supplemental Act for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Topics That We Covered: - Impact of a Continuing Resolution (CR), or worse a shutdown, to our national security. - Significant threats from Russia, Iran and Iranian Proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis, as well as the malign activities against our treaty allies in the Indo-Pacific by a hegemonic aspirant, China. - What the United States is doing to support our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and why these forward positioned allies are essential to our national security. - How 2.7% of GDP is a dangerously low amount to invest on defense, especially since the last time the US spent this low of a percentage while facing rising hegemonic threats was in 1939, right before WWII. - The need to invest in the DIB now in order to secure our supply chains away from China and Russia, rebuild our domestic manufacturing industries, invest in dual-use technologies of the future, and stabilize the American manufacturing workforce by creating essential jobs that will support the warfighter and strengthen our national security. - How every American, especially young Americans, who are searching for a purpose and a good paying job should look at working in the Defense Industrial Base. - How important the AbilityOne program, which employs individuals and veterans with disabilities, is to the DIB.

The second Catalyst of Growth Summit exceeded all expectations, achieving tremendous success. This year, I diligently tracked the social media reach throughout the final month of the event. Marketing the summit was daunting; while we had incredible speakers lined up, ensuring awareness and engagement was paramount. After all, what's the use of great speakers if nobody knows about the event? Marketing and generating interest are as crucial as organizing the event itself. Comparing my strategies from previous years was eye-opening, allowing me to refine and adjust my approach for this year's summit. It was a valuable learning experience, identifying what worked well and areas for improvement. Reflecting on this experience ignites my enthusiasm for potential marketing opportunities post my retirement from the USAF this Feb. 🔥 Motivation Fuel: HeroFrontPodcast.com 🙌 Be my Wingman: https://lnkd.in/gM_SdWD #veteran #marines #army #airforce #navy #eq #coastguard #spaceforce #mentalhealth #resiliency #military #inspirational #militarylife #firstresponders #airmen #airman #purpose #herofront #podcast #veteranowned #marketing #socialmedia #tedx

🌟 Exciting Update from the C4ISR USA Conference! 🚀 🎙️Mr. Joseph Welch, Director, C5ISR Center, provided remarks at the C4ISR USA Conference, hosted by the Institute for Defense & Government Advancement, 15-16 NOV in Pentagon City, VA.
