And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.
Overhead Imagery & Drone SurveillanceISIS plans attacks in Syria and Iraq via Google Maps and drone imagery, which they show in their propaganda videos
Al-Nusra showcases their surveillance capabilities, which are enhanced with social media & open source data
via
Social media on the battlefield
• 2008 Mumbai attacks: terrorists had a “war room” to monitor information – killed the 2nd wealthiest businessman in India who was pretending to be a schoolteacher by looking him up on Facebook
• ISIS’ use of Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Recruitment and Operational Employment
Accessible, Printable Weapon Systems
“The Reprringer”
5-shot, single-action, manually indexed 6
mm pistol (0.22 caliber).
Cody Wilson (UT Austin law student) built his own semi-
automatic rifle using a 3D printer and
posted the instructions online: the “$25 weapon”
Cyber Threats to Critical Infrastructure
• Digital control of critical infrastructure = digital vulnerabilities
• Potential targets: water supply, power generation and distribution (particularly nuclear), banking and finance, etc.
• Take down a government security system in the comfort of your own home!
And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.
What Drives Military FundingMilitary 101
What we could make you experts on…..
If we had 30 years
Requirements Developed
Prototypes Developed
Production Developed
Sustainment
What you really need to know…..
1. Where structure and $ comes from 2. How gaps become
requirements
3. How they combine to become a purchase

Defense Planning Guid. (DPG) drives budget development

Services, Agencies and Field Activities Provide people and equipment
Combatant CmdsProvide Plans & Deployment Requirements
Gaps are created by our ability to meet:
- Our enduring interests- Our key objectives- Our Strategic Framework
- Combatant Commands plans, deployment requirements and ongoing operations

Is there friction here?
Joint Capabilities Integration & Development System
This is where it all gets sorted out?JCIDS
So Far So Good
OMA: Operational $’s used for day to day operations Can be used to buy things under $250k and and demonstrate things Can’t build prototypes Good for one year - expires at the end of the fiscal year (Sep)
OPA: Procurement $ used to buy major end items (big stuff that costs a lot of $) Good for three years – expires a the end of the 3rd year Can’t be used to pay for operations
RDT&E: Research Development, Testing & Evaluation $ Good for 2 years – expires a the end of the 2nd year
Special cases “Purple” money (JIDA)
Can be used as any of the three above Comes with lots of Congressional oversight
Rapid Acquisition Authority – SecDef has the authority to change the “color” of $ $200M per year Requires Congressional notification
OCO – overseas contingency operations - $’s that pay for missions not part of the budget (Iraq/Afg/Ebola) Continuing Resolutions – Can’t plan to spend more than 65% of previous budget

Who are we talking to, where do they fit & what to ask?
- Who are you?- What authorities do you have?- What are you supposed to do (mission), not supposed to do or not allowed to do (constraints)?- How are you funded (Color of money & special authorities)?- What types of contracts do you have/use (if applicable)?- Who do you work with (from the list above)?- Who else has this problem?

An Example
DoD/IC 101Working with the DoD & IC outside the defense industrial base
About me • Systems engineer, gov acquisitions
• Worked both large weapons system (>$10B) and small, rapid programs (<$100M)
• Cross service/agency experience
• National Defense University fellow
• BMNT Partners, BMNT Capital • Savonix, Workscouts Boards
Doing Business with the Government...
• System designed for DIB • Big design up front • Org culture varies • Best idea does not = $• Speed is relative • Market research problem

How do you participate? • Existing Program (likely required to partner with a Defense Prime (LM, GD etc)
• R&D (Broad Agency Announcements) labs, early maturity, IP issues
• Demonstration • Small Business Innovation Research Grant (SBIR)• Responses to RFIs (Requests for Information)
What to look for in a .gov partner• Culture • Who you are working with matters! • Political will (find the Horizon 3s with top cover advocates)
• Track record of similar efforts
