  • Vice Adm. Jan Tighe: Team effort for Navy to meet cyber milestone

    The Defense Department plans to have 133 cyber mission teams at full operational capability by the end of 2018. Of those, 40 are in the Navy. But the Navy says achieving that milestone would take a team effort. It’s not just a mission for the 10th Fleet, its cyber command. On Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Vice Adm. Jan Tighe, commander of the 10th fleet, spoke with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu at the Sea Air Space expo at the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland.

  • Vice Adm. Ted Branch: What does ‘information warfare’ mean?

  • Rear Adm. Michael Manazir: Navy seeks to network weapon systems

    From fighters to carriers to submarines, the Navy wants to network its weapons systems so their warfighting capability is greater than the sum of its parts. That task falls to Rear Adm. Michael Manazir, who was appointed just last week as the deputy chief of naval operations for warfare systems. Before that, he was director of the Navy’s Air Warfare Division. Manazir spoke on Federal Drive with Tom Temin to Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu at the Sea Air Space expo at the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland.

  • Lt. Cmdr. Keith Capper & Jennifer Person-Whippo: Revolutionizing Navy chow

    The Navy is trying to “revolutionize” the meals it feeds its sailors, both ashore and while they’re underway. To do that, they turned to sailors themselves, and to academia, using the “design thinking process” to help shape the future of the Navy’s chow. On Federal Drive with Tom Temin, Lt. Cmdr. Keith Capper, director of the Navy Food Service, and Jennifer Person-Whippo, a dietician in the Navy Supply Systems Command, talked with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu at the Sea Air Space expo at the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland.

  • Adm. John Richardson: How the Navy keeps its strategic dominance

    It’s the Navy’s job to protect American interests anywhere on the globe. That job is quite a bit different than it was in the Cold War, when the nation had different strategic and budget priorities. Adm. John Richardson is seven months into his post as Chief of Naval Operations. Richardson joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin at the Sea Air Space expo at the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland.

He spoke to Federal Drive with Tom Temin at the Sea Air Space expo at the Gaylord National Convention Center, in National Harbor, Maryland.

  • Paul Jaenichen: Armed forces rely on Maritime Administration
