Ordinary soldiers and civil servants have used the Army Data Platform to build thousands of data analytics. Now the service wants to scale up ADP’s success — but that will take a new way of doing business, said chief data officer David Markowitz.
In January, Army Under Secretary Gabe Camarillo said the Army was moving away from a single-vendor approach the service has used in the past and was planning to award multiple vendors a spot for the re-compete.
It’s about improving existing platforms with autonomy, and applying AI, edge computing, quantum encryption, and sensor fusion.
Army Under Secretary Gabe Camarillo told reporters the service plans to award contracts for the Vantage re-compete towards the end of this year.
