ALL FOR ONE
The days of the Defense
Department’s regional combatant commands acting independently are
long gone—nobody disputes that. But when it comes to how the
commands can and should work together there is less agreement.
CECOM REFOCUSES BATTLEFIELD COMM EFFORTS
Technology shifts, development failures and funding cuts have forced
major changes to two of the three communications pillars of the
Army’s Future Combat Systems program.

KEEP THEM SECURE NO MATTER
WHERE THEY GO.
In today’s
brand of warfare, our information systems must be as mobile and as
secure as our troops. Harris Corporation's SecNet 11® Plus is
NSA-certified and type certified for case use on the SIPRNet. It is
wireless command and control for the modern battlefield. Put the power
of secure wireless communications to work for you. Click here to

SEE THE FOREST AND THE TREES
No one in the
government knows more about or has more experience using earned value
management than the Defense Department. DOD first began using EVM, a
disciplined project management methodology, in the 1960s to help
identify risks and variances in the schedules and budgets of major
projects.
A CHAT WITH DAVID M. MIHELCIC, CTO AT DISA
David M. Mihelcic likes to work hard and play hard, and interestingly
his work and home life overlap somewhat: At home, he’s a Boy Scout
leader; at work, he’s the technology scoutmaster for the Defense
Information Systems Agency.
IPV6: READY FOR THE TELECOM RUSH

HP INTEGRITY SYSTEMS WITH
INTEL® ITANIUM® 2 PROCESSORS
Your federal agency has been given a mandate. Your
infrastructure must become more adaptable and more secure, yet somehow
cost less in the long run. Optimization is the goal, best achieved
through standards-based computing that supports Linux®,
Windows®, OpenVMS™, HP-UX and other operating systems —
which allows you to more easily work with other agencies and partners.
Perhaps that’s why hundreds of federal agencies have found that HP
Integrity systems with Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, capable
of running more than 8,000 applications, are the way forward to a more
efficient and collaborative future.

REMEMBER THIS MANTRA: “INVEST IN THE
NETWORK”
Pushing today’s network across the
environment is not unlike when our nation first deployed electricity and
other utilities.
SATING DOD’S SATCOM APPETITE TAKES MILITARY AND
INDUSTRY COMM CHEFS
Since the days of Desert Storm, the
Defense Department has been acutely aware that its need for satellite
communications vastly exceeds the ability to provide it. This
realization has spawned a close, collaborative relationship with the
SATCOM industry, a relationship that has served us well and continues to
improve.
