As cyberphysical weapon systems evolve, it’s become clear that delivery agility will be the definitive war-winning capability. This talk will cover key components needed to deliver at the increased speed of need and highlight challenges where the community must band together for the US to outpace its peer advisories.

A key voice in DOD Software innovation, Kyle Fox is the Chief Software Officer and technical lead for R&D efforts within the U.S. Air Force's Nuclear Weapons Center ICBM Modernization programs. Kyle delivered significant change in the DOD by building the first cloud-native and DevSecOps-enabled nuclear weapon system via the $96B next-generation ICBM weapon system, Sentinel. He is now focused on preparing the DOD for operating in the rising era of the Software Defined Weapon by demonstrating the art of the possible with government and industry teaming, agile execution with continuous delivery in high assurance/safety-critical environments, and DOD’s ability to apply cutting edge technologies to war-fighting applications.
