Air Force Times reports that the Air Force issued a request for information (RFI) Thursday, which stated that it is looking for industry assistance in transitioning the C-130 software to a DevSecOps approach. The RFI stated, “The end goal is to establish a lean, user-centered approach that will ultimately redefine how capability is delivered to the warfighter while meeting all regulatory testing and cybersecurity requirements.” The Air Force “is looking for two companies to partner with C-130 maker Lockheed Martin, to develop a strategy with an implementation and cost schedule, the RFI said.” After a “six-month study, the Air Force expects to award a $1 million contract to implement the results. An RFP to provide the transition services is expected in the second quarter of this year.”
