Special Operations Forces (SOF) teams have to be ready at a moment’s notice to go anywhere and do almost anything that level of professionalism require high-level agility, adaptability, and performance, said Michael MacFadden, CTO of Sigma Defense Systems, during this SOF Week Show Daily version of the McHale Report Podcast. He and I discussed how leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)for software mobility enables that agility. We also discuss Sigma Defense’s Aries family for tactical ISR applications, CJADC2, and how working directly with Special Operations Forces operators impacts how he and his team design systems.

On the modern battlefield, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has long relied on the collection and distribution of data to stay ahead of the enemy. In the most decisive moments, it is critical to make sure information gets in the hands of the right people at the right time to make decisions that could affect the lives of both military personnel and civilians. Programs including CJADC2 – the military’s Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) warfighting approach – depend on data superiority, which hinges on software mobility.
