After just three years, there are now 200 teams across DoD doing DevSecOps, which has saved, on average, a year and $12.5 million per app it’s been used to launch, the Air Force's Chief Software Officer says.

Military hierarchies are, by necessity, rigid structures. DARPA’s ‘Mosaic Warfare’ project aims for something much more fluid and adaptable, with AI doing the logistical grunt work so human commanders can get creative.
The exercise also served as the Air Force's third "On Ramp" demo for its Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), demonstrating a new software for battlefield situational awareness.
A host of high-tech specialties will have to work together, Lt. Gen. Stephen Fogarty said, so “stop fighting and start figuring out how to integrate the capability.”
