“ THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERY- THING THAT IS DESIGNED HAS TO BE SUSTAINABLE – IT MUST BE SOMETHING THAT WILL LAST AFTER I ’ M GONE ”
— Nicolas M . Chaillan , Chief Software Officer , US Air Force
get behind it ’ s going to have a major impact on our mission capabilities . If we don ’ t have access to the latest technologies because startups find it too hard to work with the US government , then we ’ re going to fail . The second aspect is the real partnership with the airmen and the DoD programs . We have to build mission capabilities with the implementation of programs such as AEGIS , JAIC , F16 , F22 and F35 because they need to build software and they have to do it now . That ’ s my partnership — it ’ s teamwork .”
With the future in mind , Chaillan
