My last post mentioned an exciting 2025 for Onebrief. Here's our first success of the year! Check out how Onebrief will "empower Airmen and Guardians to adapt swiftly to evolving threats, particularly in addressing the pacing challenge."

I'm excited to announce our partnership with Air Combat Command! Supporting the Air Force’s largest command puts Onebrief at the helm of change. This new connectivity across echelons will win the war. Solving this kind of problem is why we started Onebrief in the first place; we believe in the power of smaller, smarter, enabled teams. And over the next year we’ll build more tools to support constrained and offline teams -- giving partners like ACC the chance to skyrocket the way their staffs work.

R&P Awarded $78 Million Contract to Support U.S. Navy’s Amphibious Warfare Program Office R&P Technologies, LLC, a provider of professional, technology, industrial and management services, announced that the Company has been awarded a contract to continue its support to the U.S. Navy’s Amphibious Warfare Program Office (PMS 377) with a full range of professional support services. The focus of services being procured includes Ship Acquisition, Technical Issue Resolution, Technical/System Integration, Change Management, Ship Production, Testing, GFE/GFI Support, and Post-Delivery for platforms under PMS 377’s cognizance. PMS 377 is responsible for the Amphibious Assault Ship Replacement (LHA(R)) (to include Flight 0 and Flight 1 and any future and/or emerging follow- on) Acquisition Program, the Amphibious Transport Dock (LPD 17) amphibious ships (to include Flight I and Flight II and any future and/or emerging follow-on) Acquisition Program, the Amphibious Assault Direction System (AADS) Acquisition and Life Cycle Management Program, and the Blue Force Tracker 2 (BFT-2) Program. The recompete contract has a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods and is valued at $78 million, if all options are exercised.  The business began providing support to PMS 377 in 2009 as a subcontractor, and since then the program support has grown from 8 personnel to approximately 80 today. This was a critical recompete win for R&P, as it reinforces our ability to deliver high quality, integrated services for the U.S. Navy,” said Jeff Riedel, CEO of R&P Technologies.  “R&P is a sophisticated Small Business provider of naval new construction and modernization services and winning programs like PMS 377 will continue to be a strategic priority for the Company going forward.” The Company’s services under this contract enable these vessels to be deployed on amphibious missions including airborne/and seaborne assaults on hostile shores, as well as humanitarian support role for natural disasters.

One of the biggest challenges in the Surface Warfare community is lack of tactical and technical feedback to the individual units. Ships report up the chain of command the status of a mission or operation, but don't typically receive feedback for improvement. This last week, the COMDESRON FIFTEEN Fires and Effects Center released new guidance for the establishment of an analysis process on these missions and operations pertaining to Fires. Reviews of every action against tactical and technical publications are consolidated into a thorough report for the ships, from how the operation was successful to how the ship could improve by focusing on certain aspects. These reports are also sent to our various warfare development centers for review and to show improvement on our 7th Fleet stationed ship. This is a critical step to enhancing technical proficiency and maintaining a tactical advantage against the adversary. We owe it to our ships and our sailors to give them the tools and knowledge necessary to go out into harm's way and return, and this all starts at the COMDESRON FIFTEEN Fires and Effects Center!

Great article! The continuous evolution of the Apache helicopter is needed in this world that consists of all kinds of evolving threats. That’s why the AH64E is also called Guardian. Attack! Looking at this article it should not be Boeing that determines what is needed, it should be a team effort that consists of Government, Industry and Knowledge institutions also known as the Golden Ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/ejKRxCfr
