DOD issued a reference design architecture for DevSecOps in hopes of scaling the agile, open-source software development framework across the military.

The Department of Defense is required to release at least 20 percent of its custom software as open source through a pilot, but it's hardly gotten to 10 percent.

With OMB on board, the DOD will issue a legislative proposal later this fall to ask for what Jeff Boleng calls "software money."

It's an accompanying document to the administration's Cloud Smart policy.

Adaptable algorithms and programming languages are needed for numerous, early systems that have emerged.

The watchdog agency suggests this practice could save the DOD time and money in the long run.
