The Air Force is considering using DevSecOps to upgrade the software on the C-130, a versatile military transport aircraft that has been in use since 1956.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Air Mobility Command seeking two partner companies to work with aircraft prime Lockheed Martin to transform software development culture and practices. It wants recommendations for how to implement a digital enterprise strategy on the C-130 platform by transiting legacy software to a DevSecOps-driven, cloud-native agile software development platform including proposed costs and implementation schedules.
While many “agile” development projects have devolved to waterfall processes, the Air Force wants to move the whole C-130 program office and its contractors “to a true agile culture using cloud-native tools,” according to a Feb. 18 request for information.
