WASHINGTON: DISA is developing capabilities to deliver the speed that military leaders say could provide the US with a decisive advantage in future warfare. The speed in this case relates to how quickly warfighters and combat support services can tap resources in the DoD cloud. Some early pilots have reduced the cloud deployment time for mission applications from more than a year to several hours.
Leading the way is DISA’s Cloud Computing Program Office, a self-described “nimble team” of technologists and acquisition specialists that says it moves with the “Velocity of Action.” Like much of DISA, CCPO isn’t in the public spotlight, but its largely unseen work is integral to the success of DoD’s vision of rapid cloud adoption and software modernization for warfighters as well as combat support.
