| A Whole-of-Nation Approach to an Integrated Warfighting Network (IWN) - 09/18/2024 - Eagle's Pride Golf Course & Simulator, Dupont, WA, WA To conduct effective military campaigns, we adopt a "whole of nation" approach, leveraging the asymmetric advantage of the American and Western free-market economies. This approach ensures our forces retain freedom of maneuver while denying adversaries freedom of action. We achieve this by converging on SDWAN interoperable technologies, integrating diverse communication and cloud providers into a seamless fabric. This fabric, driven by operational and mission-based policies, simplifies complexity for operators, enabling effective management. Introducing the aspirational Cloud Agnostic Master BOT (CAMBOT), a GUI-based platform automating policy-based communications provisioning, enhances network management for operational missions, reinforcing our freedom of maneuver and limiting threat actions. |
