The Department of Defense is working to change its risk assessment culture to embrace innovation rather than just minimize risk.

My advice to the Department of Defense is to embrace a long-term perspective, understanding that iterative, fast-moving approaches are essential for developing effective technology.

The Department of Defense must recognize the need for a mobile strategy that incorporates autonomy, similar to how the commercial sector has evolved.

The real bottlenecks in the Department of Defense are cultural and procedural, not technical, and we can apply technology to address these issues.

We need individuals in senior positions who deeply understand software development to drive faster procurement in the Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense's procurement process is improving, but it still needs more senior personnel who understand software to streamline operations effectively.

The Department of Defense is committed to being more flexible and open-minded, especially when data supports policy changes.

The Department of Defense is still primarily focused on hardware, but there are ongoing efforts to change this and integrate more software solutions into their operations.

We want to see significant improvements in technology that can be rapidly deployed to enhance military capabilities.
