Last week, R&E’s Future G principal director, Dr. Tom Rondeau, and Naval Postgraduate School president, Vice Adm. (Ret.) Ann Rondeau (no relation), met to kick off the FutureG Active Duty Opening Source Development (ADOSD) program.
The partnership supports two FutureG and R&E priorities: rapid innovation through open-source software and workforce development, which are critical to successful integration of FutureG technologies into the operating force. It will leverage open-source software as the basis for graduate education and research to empower the active-duty FutureG workforce with the foundational knowledge they will need to support the goals outlined in the National Defense Strategy.
“The FutureG mission is to advance and adapt cellular network technology for Combined, Joint All-Domain Command-and-Control operations (CJADC2), and the NPS mission to provide defense-focused graduate education for warfighter advantage, making us ideal partners to help support our warfighters’ needs,” Dr. Rondeau said.
