According to
a statement provided today by the Pentagon to Etopia News:
“The DIB
(Defense Innovation Board)'s interim findings and recommendations will be made
public, as time permits, on October 5 at the public meeting which will be
announced in the Federal Register."
The DIB is responsible for advising Secretary of Defense Ash Carter on ways in which
the Department of Defense (DoD) can become more agile in addressing and
executing its mission.
Recent
appointees to the group include astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and Amazon
founder and CEO, Washington Post owner
and space pioneer Jeff Bezos, as you can read here.
Along with
this advisory board, the DoD has established the Defense Innovation Unit
Experimental (DIUx) which, according to its website “serves
as a bridge between those in the U.S. military executing on some of our nation’s
toughest security challenges and companies operating at the cutting edge of
technology.”
The premise and the promise
of the DIB is that the efficiency and power of the technologies developed in
Silicon Valley, and the methods used to achieve them, can be applied
successfully to the operations of the United States Armed Forces.
