Within Special Operations every solution starts with a nonnegotiable – cyber and security is never sacrificed for speed, because it doesn't really matter if the data moves fast but can't be trusted, said Peter O’Donoghue, CTO of Tyto Athene, during this SOF Week Show Daily version of the McHale Report Podcast. “Philosophically we believe that compromised intelligence is not intelligence at all,” he added. He and I covered how to enable network security in hostile environments and how artificial intelligence can help U.S. forces dominate the information space. We also discussed Tyto Athene’s TALON technology accelerator lab and how direct feedback from Special Operations Forces personnel aids in their system designs.  

Digital twins can bridge the gap between physical systems and digital intelligence and enable the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) tools effectively, accelerate modernization, and deploy next-generation network capabilities more efficiently and applications such as CJADC2.

Ushering in a new generation of Internet Protocol (IP)-based communications has been a primary goal for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Since the end of 2021, the DoD has been working toward network and voice modernization that relies on IP-based services instead of time division multiplexing (TDM) circuits. The department also set a policy that eliminates the use of TDM and requires the migration of all component mission requirements for transport to IP-based services by March 2025.
