Vidéo : Quand la science-fiction se met au service de la Défense nationale

Au sein de l'Agence de l'Innovation de la Défense, « Red Team » et « Blue Team » imaginent et répondent aux scénarios catastrophes de demain. Les équipes de France Info se sont entretenues avec le directeur de l'agence, Emmanuel Chiva, directeur de l'agence qui pilote l'innovation en matière de défense, dont l'une des missions est d'anticiper les menaces, et de travailler sur les moyens de s'en prémunir. Imaginer les conflits d'un futur lointain au sein de l'Agence de l'innovation de Défense, c'est le rôle de la Red Team et de ses auteurs de science-fiction. « C'est une dizaine d'auteurs, (...) et nous avons aussi un opérateur, Paris Sciences & Lettres, qui nous apporte toute la méthodologie », indique Emmanuel Chiva. En face, la Blue Team, « composée d'officiers, d'ingénieurs, de la DGA, de spécialistes des relations internationales du ministère des Armées (...) des gens qui doivent imaginer le moyen de répondre aux menaces de la Red Team », détaille-t-il. L'agence possède un comité d'éthique de la Défense, « dans le but de se fixer des lignes rouges » rassure Emmanuel Chiva. Parmi les scénarios, on trouve un travail sur les pirates du futur avec « la création d'une nation flottante », D'autres scénarios, en revanche, ceux qui peuvent « exposer des vulnérabilités », restent confidentiels.

  • Pentagon’s Second Multibillion Cloud Contract to Be Bid in Coming Months

    Pentagon’s Second Multibillion Cloud Contract to Be Bid in Coming Months

    Officials say the Defense Department's multibillion Defense Enterprise Office Solutions contract is expected to be bid out in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. Much of the oxygen in the federal contracting community has gone to the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract in recent months, but the Pentagon is very close to bidding out a second major cloud contract that may rival it in size. Defense officials said last month that the Defense Enterprise Office Solution acquisition, valued at approximately $8 billion, could be bid out later this month, with an expected award issued by the second quarter of 2019. The contract will have a five-year base period with five one-year options. DEOS is the Pentagon's attempt to “unify and modernize” some of its legacy systems, including enterprise email, collaboration services, voice and video services, messaging, content management and other productivity capabilities for more than 3.5 million users. Brian Herman, the Defense Information Systems Agency's unified capabilities portfolio manager, said the Pentagon isn't interested in developing new capabilities but rather wants to take advantage of existing commercial capabilities in use across industry today. “Our goal is to take the capabilities that are available now, change the way we work to take advantage of these commercial services, and receive all of the upgrades and improvements that industry brings to their commercial customers,” said Herman, speaking at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association's Defensive Cyber Operations Symposium in Baltimore May 16. In the commercial world, many companies have opted for cloud-based delivery of collaborative and email services. Delivered at scale across the Defense Department's massive enterprise, Herman said the approach could significantly reduce costs and improve security and efficiency. DEOS could eventually replace the Defense Enterprise Email, Defense Collaboration Services, and Defense Enterprise Portal Service, and potentially other legacy systems currently maintained by the Pentagon's IT wing. “We've had feedback from the DOD management, financial, and technical leaders. They've looked at the services used by [DOD agencies] and said, ‘You need to change the way you use these services. It's no longer necessary for every application to be on your desktop. Perhaps you can have web-based access to some of these capabilities and both improve the security and reduce the cost of these capabilities,” Herman said. DEOS will offer services through the Pentagon's unclassified and classified networks, meaning potential bidders must have provisional authorization to operate at Impact Level 5 to bid on it. Currently, only a few cloud service providers, including Microsoft, IBM, Amazon Web Services and General Dynamics, have achieved this status. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has not yet released a final solicitation for JEDI, which some industry estimates have pegged at $10 billion. The contract has drawn scrutiny from industry and Congress because of the Defense Department's decision to award it to a single cloud service provider. Initially expected to be released in mid-May for industry consideration, it has been delayed indefinitely. https://www.nextgov.com/it-modernization/2018/06/pentagons-second-multibillion-cloud-contract-be-bid-coming-months/148733/

  • Inflection point: Army wrestles to strike balance between current and future capability

    Inflection point: Army wrestles to strike balance between current and future capability

    WASHINGTON — The Army is at an inflection point. It's a statement its top leaders have acknowledged countless times in recent months as they have made the case to begin major investment in future capability. But to bring online state-of-the-art technology and weapons and equipment that will maintain overmatch against peer adversaries like Russia and China, the Army will need money. Lots of money. And that means, at some point soon, the Army will have to make difficult decisions on how long legacy weapon systems and planned upgrades for those capabilities can — or should — carry the service into the future. It is Army Secretary Mark Esper and Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley's goal and mandate to have a fully modernized Army that aligns with the service's multidomain operations doctrine by 2028. It logically follows that to get there, much has to happen in the 10 years between now and then. The Army wants longer-range fires, new combat vehicles and tanks, two new helicopters, highly capable autonomous vehicles and aircraft, a robust and resilient network tying together everything on the battlefield, a layered and more advanced air-and-missile defense capability and more lethal systems for warfighters. These capabilities all fall under the Army's top six modernization priorities, which the service laid out a year ago in an overarching modernization strategy. The Army then stood up Army Futures Command — a new four-star command — that will focus on rapidly bringing online modernized equipment and weapons that fit under the top six priorities. And it put a general officer in charge of a cross-functional team for each priority to advance prototypes and technology development.
