Hi , I'm chad clawson . I'm the

00:05.060 --> 00:06.893
associate director for technical

00:06.893 --> 00:08.504
services within the Software

00:08.504 --> 00:10.727
Engineering Center . And one of my main

00:10.727 --> 00:12.782
focus is across the center is really

00:12.782 --> 00:15.004
looking at innovative , innovative ways

00:15.004 --> 00:17.116
to improve how we deliver software to

00:17.116 --> 00:19.227
the warfighter . So one of those ways

00:19.227 --> 00:21.393
that I want to talk about today is the

00:21.393 --> 00:20.810
si . Com software repository that we

00:20.810 --> 00:23.830
stood up . So rewind about a year and a

00:23.830 --> 00:25.941
half ago . The way we were delivering

00:25.941 --> 00:28.610
software was VCDs dvDS through the mail

00:28.610 --> 00:31.290
postal system and or we had various

00:31.290 --> 00:33.770
websites across the globe that we're

00:33.770 --> 00:36.090
facilitating distribution of software .

00:36.100 --> 00:38.280
So in order to better support software

00:38.280 --> 00:40.447
readiness and getting the war fighters

00:40.447 --> 00:42.669
what they need in an expedited manner .

00:42.669 --> 00:45.060
We stood up a centralized portal for

00:45.060 --> 00:46.980
software to be posted to allow

00:46.980 --> 00:48.869
warfighters to go to one place to

00:48.869 --> 00:50.924
download the software that they need

00:50.924 --> 00:52.813
when they need it to update their

00:52.813 --> 00:54.924
systems to mitigate vulnerabilities ,

00:54.924 --> 00:58.110
cyber threats to update the software so

00:58.110 --> 00:59.740
that they can have enhanced

00:59.740 --> 01:02.930
capabilities . And to date we've had

01:02.940 --> 01:06.120
roughly 4000 downloads per month over

01:06.130 --> 01:08.980
20,000 logins per month . So we've seen

01:08.980 --> 01:11.202
a lot of success in this area and we've

01:11.202 --> 01:13.202
seen the capability enhance the way

01:13.202 --> 01:15.313
that the warfighter gets the software

01:15.313 --> 01:17.890
in the field . Yeah .
