Rotary-Wing SkyCrane v2.0
This document proposes a new heavy-lift helicopter design that combines elements from existing helicopters for improved capabilities. It would use the CH-53X power train and rotor system, UH-60 cockpit, and modular pods to allow multi-service compatibility. New features include self-deploying wings for additional fuel and counter-torque ducted fans for forward thrust, allowing for rolling takeoffs and higher payloads such as a 38,000 pound armored gun system. The design aims for low cost, low risk, low maintenance advantages over other heavy-lift helicopter options.
Non-Aircraft Carrier Seaplane Defense of Surface Ships v5.0
Non-Aircraft Carrier Seaplane Defense of Surface Ships
The document discusses alternatives for providing air cover to surface ships without aircraft carriers, such as deploying seaplanes or short take-off aircraft. During World Wars 1 and 2, seaplanes launched from battleships and cruisers provided reconnaissance and attacks. Modern options discussed include deploying STOVL jets on destroyers and cruisers, using fighter barges towed behind ships, and purchasing new seaplane fighters. The document argues this would provide dispersed air defense if aircraft carriers are lost, and cites historical examples where seaplanes helped ships survive attacks without carrier support. It proposes testing concepts on the retired USS Ticon
IBCT Fatally Flawed
The document summarizes analyses of the Army's Interim Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) and future combat systems program. It finds that the IBCT lacks key capabilities like organic aviation, effective firepower, and the ability to operate autonomously in a joint task force. Analysis by TRADOC also found the IBCT vulnerable to enemy fires and unable to go "head-to-head" with enemy armor. The document argues the programs are focusing on technology instead of new operational concepts and joint integration, and that the IBCT is unsuited for combat operations.
Light Infantry Resupply Transformation v3.0
The document proposes solutions to challenges facing light infantry resupply. It suggests using a Lift-N-Go forklift/trailer (LNG) that can transport palletized supplies on Humvees or M-GATOR trucks. This allows supplies to be delivered via helicopter on pallets and then transported to companies without manual breaking down of supplies. It estimates the total cost of providing LNGs and related equipment to light infantry, air assault and airborne units to be $2.52 billion. The solutions aim to increase mobility and firepower while reducing exposure time for troops.
IBCT: Fatally Flawed
The document summarizes concerns with the Army's proposed interim brigade combat team (IBCT) and future combat system (FCS). It argues that the IBCT lacks joint operational capabilities, new communications technology, organic aviation, and effective firepower. Tactics are based on outdated concepts. The FCS program aims to accomplish what naval and air forces have struggled with and may exceed the Army's resources. Both initiatives focus on incremental changes rather than true transformation of operational concepts and force structure.
Modularity Lexicon v5.0
The Army is restructuring from a division-based to a brigade-based modular force, with standardized brigade combat teams and support brigades as the basic building blocks; these standardized brigades can be combined in various ways under unified expeditionary headquarters. The modular force focuses on making units more self-contained and responsive while facilitating rapid deployment and joint interoperability.
State of the Infantry (CG Infantry School Sept 2013)
The document discusses the state of the infantry and provides details on key tasks and visions for the Commandant of the Infantry School, Chief of Infantry, and Deputy Commanding General of Infantry. It outlines efforts to increase course rigor at the school, reduce training seats due to vacancies, define soldier capabilities for 2020, and review the leader development timeline and force structure changes impacting the infantry force.
Gaffney's Slides
The document discusses Interim Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT), including:
- An IBCT is a 3,400 troop motorized infantry brigade with towed artillery and a 240 troop reconnaissance squadron.
- IBCTs require converting 20% of today's combat force and are focused on high-end small scale conflicts and urban warfare.
- IBCTs depend on augmentation from division/corps assets and are not capable of autonomous joint task force operations without additional support.
- There is a question around why the Army needs to provide a capability for small scale conflict that may be redundant to the US Marine Corps' capabilities.

What blitzkrieg looks like
Blitzkrieg was a German military tactic that emphasized speed, surprise, and mobility to prevent enemies from organizing defenses. It involved concentrated tank and motorized forces supported by airpower to outmaneuver opponents, disrupt their command and supply lines, and encircle defending forces for destruction. The goal of blitzkrieg was to move faster than the enemy could respond strategically.
Scaling to a Team of Teams
1. The document discusses key ideas from General Stanley McChrystal's book "Team of Teams" and agile practices for scaling teams. It emphasizes that teams outperform individuals, and entire systems must learn to cooperate like teams.
2. Building trust across teams is difficult, but can be achieved by having at least one person from each team with positive relationships on other teams. Shared purpose and allowing autonomy are also important.
3. A "Team of Teams" shifts leadership from commanding to building shared understanding. It empowers decision making by those with the most information and closest to the work.

AT-6C Texan II Observation/Attack Aircraft
This document proposes procuring armed Hawker Beechcraft T-6 aircraft, called AT-6Cs, to provide a new capability for US counterinsurgency operations. It suggests establishing a training unit in the continental US and deploying about 20 aircraft to Iraq/Afghanistan and 10 to the Philippines/Horn of Africa. The document reviews the historical use of aircraft in counterinsurgency, why a new aircraft may be needed, potential alternatives, and scenarios showing how the AT-6C could be used. It proposes having the Air National Guard operate the aircraft to provide a rapidly executable option for increasing US and coalition counterinsurgency capabilities.
21st Century Battleships: THE FUTURE
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
New SKEDCO Products
The document proposes a cover for NVG mounts on helmets to prevent snagging during parachute jumps and identifies issues with current taping methods, including covering ranks. Diagrams show how to attach a nylon cover with velcro flaps to the helmet to protect the NVG mount while still displaying ranks and IR identification markings. Instructions also provide a method for attaching a lifeline for emergency rappelling using a snaplink carabiner.
Sheeple-Minded Strykerites
A Stryker truck got stuck but was then unstuck by a track vehicle. The Stryker cheerleaders were ready to deny that the truck got stuck at all and would lie about the incident happening. The document asks if there are any questions about the situation with the stuck and then unstuck Stryker truck.
Zhukovsky Air Show: Smart Russians
The document summarizes an air show that will take place in 2007 at Zhukovsky Airport in Russia. Zhukovsky Airport is located on the shore of Galendzhik Lake, about a 3 hour drive from Moscow, and was formerly a secret test airport. Its location on a large body of water makes it well suited to display flying boats, which are a focus of Russian aircraft design. The air show will not only feature demonstrations of advanced Russian aircraft, but will allow viewers to watch flights more closely than would be permitted under Western safety regulations. A list of over 50 aircraft types from Russian manufacturers that will be displayed at the show is included.
Why U.S. Soldiers are Killed in Iraq v1.0
More U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq. The document discusses deficiencies in the armor protection provided by vehicles like the Stryker and up-armored Humvees. It argues that these wheeled vehicles cannot adequately protect soldiers from roadside bombs and RPGs. The document proposes using upgraded M113 Gavin tracked armored vehicles instead, which it says could better protect soldiers at a lower cost. It questions why the Army is not implementing these solutions to save soldiers' lives.
Wheeled Mine Strike: Afghanistan (U.S. Copied This)
Scouts are responsible for clearing routes of obstacles before hikers use them. When Scouts fail to properly clear routes, hikers can encounter dangers like fallen trees blocking the path or steep drop-offs on the side of trails. As a result, hikers may get injured if routes are not cleared by Scouts as expected.
USAF DragonEye 1
The USAF proposes creating a "Dragon's Eye Squadron" consisting of armored, mobile ground surveillance aircraft that can operate deep in enemy territory to rapidly identify time-critical targets, speeding up the process of sensing threats and launching precision strikes against them in coordination with ground forces. The costs to establish this capability would be small as the necessary equipment is already in use.
Uninspired Sealift vs Cargo 747s vs LCAC Sealift
This document discusses options for rapidly deploying military vehicles and troops overseas despite obstacles. It proposes modifying cargo planes to transport vehicles long-distances in 1 day. It also describes using catamaran ferries and landing craft carriers that launch hovercraft to transport vehicles over shallow waters and deliver them across beaches, bypassing the need for port infrastructure. However, these options require refueling frequently or have limited range. The document argues the best approach is using ships that can launch landing craft and interface them with barges to fly vehicles directly to shore over obstacles like sea mines.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Interactive dynamic security assessment of Android and iOS applications.
Solving Mobile app CTF challenges.
Reverse engineering and runtime analysis of Mobile malware.
How to shift left and integrate MobSF/mobsfscan SAST and DAST in your build pipeline.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next.
