Navy eyes 2023 for initial delivery of Project Overmatch capability to fleet

摘要

The Navy has set an initial delivery target for its new No. 2 modernization priority with plans to push a "minimally viable capability" to the Theodore Roosevelt strike group in 2023, the first formal output of Project Overmatch in its mission to enable a fleet that "swarms the sea" and executes lethal and non-lethal attacks across every axis and domain. Navy leaders this month revealed in broad strokes a marquee near-term Naval Operational Architecture effort which aims to accelerate the integration of network infrastructure, data and analytic tools intended to connect distributed forces and provide decision-advantage in a fight. Vice Adm. James Kilby, deputy chief of naval operations for warfighting requirements and capabilities, disclosed during Jan. 11 remarks to an online audience hosted by the Surface Navy Association that Project Overmatch plans to deliver a "minimally viable capability ... to the TR Strike Group in '23." The Navy - as part of Project Overmatch - plans to demonstrate the naval application of DevSecOps, a commercial approach to rapid software development and information technology operations that shortens development times and provides steady delivery of improved software with hardened security features.
