About
The future of battlefield is digital and will depend less on discrete warfighting platforms and more on the networks, data and the IT infrastructure that binds them together. Dominating and protecting the connected battlefield will require the prime contractors and the DOD to successfully build more scalable, adaptable, and powerful platforms than those provided by older legacy systems.

The defense industry is looking at modern software development methods and tools to advance next generation defense systems. This will help allow new defense systems to be more agile, cost-effective, safer and cybersecure.

Attend a Defense Daily expert panel discussion to learn from software technology experts how modern software development methods such as, DevSecOps, software application containers, simulation and new developer tools are allowing defense systems to be more agile, intelligent, efficient, easily updateable, utilize strong cybersecurity and utilize the latest safety advancements.
Agenda
  • DevSecOps methodology enables quality software development and strong cybersecurity
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery enables agile software development
  • Container technology is providing flexibility and fast integration
  • Simulation can save time and costs and help strengthen cybersecurity
