The Pentagon 'just issued a reciprocity memo that basically is like data sharing because now we're going to agree to take the [authority to operate] of a system or an application from another service and adopt it,' Jane Rathbun said during a keynote at AFCEA NoVa's defense IT event Tuesday.
The ATO process has long been a pain point across the Defense Department, particularly when it comes to upgrading software. And for the Navy, the Army's data efforts with the AI-company Palantir is a good place to start.
"It is something that we want to do because they already have Palantir on a contract. And they have a platform and we can leverage their ATO. That's what we want to do. And...we will be in conversations with them about that. I've tasked my staff to do that," Rathbun told reporters.
