Navy PEO-EIS

The Navy says dozens of IT systems and websites for pay and personnel functions are about to be killed off in favor of a consolidated system sailors can access from anywhere.

The Navy wants vendors to prototype an entirely new network architecture that would give its users more direct pathways to the cloud services.

The Navy is adopting DISA’s Purebred program for its tens of thousands of government-issued mobile devices. It’s part of a broader rethinking of identity management across the service.

The three separate OTA requests are in pursuit of a concept the Navy calls “modern service delivery,” a vision that could let its workforce access data from anywhere.

A day after releasing one half of the final NGEN RFP, the Navy releases a draft version of the other, saying it’s made several changes.

The Navy plans to release a draft RFP for an enterprise cloud contract by the end of 2017, saying most systems — including secret ones — will move to the cloud.

The Navy is in the midst of a revamp of its Innovation Cell, the project it launched two years ago with the objective of speeding new technology through the acquisition process in under a year while living completely within the government’s existing acquisition policies.

The Navy made its first awards under its new Innovation Cell framework for rapid IT acquisition Tuesday, and will insert new technologies for virtual desktops and military base IT infrastructure within the coming months.
