SIGNAL Says: Bob Poor

"There simply isn't enough money for us to reinvent the wheel. If there is a capability out there that we can leverage, that certainly is what we want to do. We're looking for industry partners that intuitively understand that in their DNA."--Bob Poor, assistant program manager for the DCGS-N

Bob's absolutely right. As for industry with the right DNA, it's one thing for a defense contractor to claim they understand, but it's quite another for them to prove they get it. The small and large businesses executing within the Acoustic Rapid Capability Insertion (ARCI) program for PEO Sub prove they get it every day. Their formula for success is readily apparent when RDML Brady (SEA 07) states the Navy's decommissioning the USS LOS ANGELES soon, but it has every bit the acoustic processing capability as the new USS VIRGINIA because of the ARCI program. Bob Poor's PEO C4I organization realizes this, and specifically calls out in their Open Architecture Strategy the desire to implement something like ARCI within SPAWAR. That needs to happen soon. https://enterprise.spawar.navy.mil/cmt_uploads/38/Open%20Architecture%20Strategy%20in%20Navy%20C4I.pdf

Buljos, Thanks for the comment. We always appreciate hearing from the folks with first-hand knowledge, and you make a great observation. Cheers, Katie
