Department of Defense Software Modernization Strategy

The Department of Defense (DoD) Software Modernization Strategy was approved Feb. 1, 2022. This strategy sets a path for technology and process transformation that will enable the delivery of resilient software capability at the speed of relevance. It is one in a set of sub-strategies of the DoD Digital Modernization Strategy and builds upon, evolves, and replaces the 2018 DoD Cloud Strategy. Given the pervasiveness of software across all aspects of mission capabilities and supporting infrastructure, the successful implementation of this strategy will rely heavily on partnerships across the Department.

Read this paper to gain insight on the strategy which lists three long-term goals that aim toward achieving the Department’s vision to deliver resilient software capability at the speed of relevance.  The objectives of each goal are near-term targets focused on providing the technical enablers and transforming the critical processes required to meet the Department’s software modernization goals.
