Скачать или смотреть Webinar: Innovations in Software Acquisition at the Department of Defense

Software is part of almost everything the DoD buys, from cloud services and apps to weapons systems. This webinar explains some of the recent changes to acquisition law and policy, as DoD pivots to modernize its processes for the 21st century. Jeff Dunlap, who teaches software acquisition at the Naval Postgraduate School, moderates this webinar with three panelists who have been working to roll out these changes. Pete Modigliani from the MITRE Corporation explains how the Adaptive Acquisition Framework, released in 2020, provides a new software pathway designed to match the agile process through which software is developed. Melissa Merker discusses pilot projects in cloud computing, a DevSecOps task force, and app consolidation overseen by her office, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Information Warfare and Enterprise Services. And Nick Tsiopanas explains how contracts can be tailored to acquire and pay for consumption-based solutions (think cloud computing and everything as a service).
