Air Force Space Command boss Gen. Bob Kehler told industry representatives at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s Infotech 2009 in Dayton, Ohio, Tuesday, that they must bring the US military “integrated solutions” to aid cyberspace defense efforts, reports the Dayton Daily News. According to the newspaper, Kehler said, “Otherwise, we’re where we’ve been for 50 years, buying stovepipe systems that don’t talk to anybody else.” He added, “We don’t have enough money for that, and we don’t have the time for it.”
The Air Force kicked off one of its biggest exercises this week with the latest edition of Bamboo Eagle, featuring combined virtual and live training scenarios focused on test the command-and-control “nervous system” leaders need to operate on a complex joint battlefield spread over vast distances.
