Jette: New Acquisition Approach With Futures Command Driving IBCS, Indirect Fire Protection Progress

摘要

The Army’s top acquisition official on Thursday said his office has settled on an integrated approach to procurement with the new Futures Command needed to forge ahead with major platform development efforts including the service’s future missile defense system and near-term fire protection capability. Bruce Jette, the Army’s assistant secretary for the acquisition, logistics and technology (ASA(ALT)), told reporters he is focused on working with his Futures Command counterparts to drive procurement advances in artificial intelligence and integrated sensor networks to move away from programs built around disparate systems.
