Cloud computing speeds up new military software Army Futures Command s Software Factory, newly opened in Texas. (Luke J. Allen/U.S. Army) At the recently launched Army Software Factory in Austin, Texas, platform product manager Capt. James Cho uses cloud computing to speed software development. Coders who create software for anything from streamlining warehouse operations to improving soldiers’ battlefield performance take advantage of the cloud’s shared storage, databases and networking that make computing resources more powerful and flexible than those available in on-site data centers. With cloud, “you can dynamically spin up more instances or compute power as needed,” Cho said. “A lot of the toil you would have in managing an on-prem solution for this is abstracted away, and it reduces the amount of work we have to do scale these applications for deployment across the Army.”

To improve the declining reliability of Marine Corps data transmitted via Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology, the Defense Information System Agency’s Cloud Computing Program Office has developed and tested a new technology called CLOAK, or Cloud Layered Obfuscation Application Kit.
VSAT uses satellite systems to support high-bandwidth voice, video and data applications such as video conferencing between locations. The military also uses it for the exchange of intelligence and logistics information.
Developed in collaboration with the 9th Communication Battalion, CLOAK allows users to split network traffic across multiple transmission paths, then combine that traffic within the cloud environment. This leads to faster and more secure communications. Because the fragmented information is less identifiable in the transmission process, it is more secure and less likely to fall into the wrong hands,
