I’m trying to leverage commercial as much as absolutely possible. “For the prototype phase, we have about a year for it to go through. Krolikowski said the effort is just getting underway, but she expects the first pilot or use case to run through the backbone in June. The accelerator said in a release from March that through the Enigma project, GDIT will create a collaborative network and a contractor operated digital environment that provides a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capability and application on-boarding and integration support services for any government approved third-party applications from other contracts/vendors supporting operations. Space Systems Command, through the Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC), managed by National Security Technology Accelerator, awarded General Dynamics IT a one-year effort under an Other Transaction Agreement worth $18 million to create Enigma. So we wanted to smooth that out.”įederal News Network's Cloud Exchange 2023: Discover how agencies across the government use cloud to reimagine government services - from the enterprise to the edge in this 3 day event. There’s a different organization that does each element of those, whether it’s device management and then all the cloud management and stuff too. One of the challenges that we always see in the current way of doing business is that a lot of those things are bifurcated. “We wanted to be able to have an environment that we understood was secure, that we knew who was going to be in it, that we could actually work and do things and be more productive in that respect. Oftentimes, contractors can’t get into our networks and we can’t get into theirs, so we end up sneakernetting things or it takes forever to transport files and stuff,” Krolikowski said in an interview with Federal News Network after speaking at the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA) DC Tech Summit on April 11.

The concept of an Enigma then to is go from device through transport into a cloud to be able to work together, whether that’s in digital engineering or DevSecOps where we are building code or just collaborating on a document in general. “Part of our mantra is being able to connect and work with anyone, anytime, anywhere. Jennifer Krolikowski is the chief information officer of the Space Systems Command. Jennifer Krolikowski, the chief information officer of the Space Systems Command, said their new project, called Enigma, is a contractor-owned and operated integrated digital backbone to address long-time challenges to share information. “Part of our mantra is being able to connect.Ĭol. Instead of contractors coming to government systems to share information or feedback, the Space Systems Command is testing out the opposite approach.Ĭol. The Space Systems Command is turning government-industry collaboration on its head.
