Using IT modernization to enable warfighters; What Air Force is learning from hackathons

Organizations across government are using “digital twins” as a vital piece to IT and process modernization. 

Chris Lisk, vice president for public sector at Celonis, explains what digital twins are and how they can enable the warfighter. This interview is underwritten by Celonis.

The Air Force will conduct its next “BRAVO” hackathon March 20 through March 24 at Hurlburt Field in Florida. Prior BRAVO hackathons have resulted in prototypes and innovations that influence major Department of Defense programs. 

Stuart Wagner, chief digital transformation officer of the Air Force and Space Force, and Jimmy “Rev” Jones, lead program manager of the Air Force’s “STITCHES” warfighter application team, discuss the goals for the upcoming hackathon and the impact previous hackathons have had on DOD operations.

The DefenseScoop Podcast is available twice a month. Listen more here.
