虽然像来自Palantir的硅谷高管一样，Meta和Openai正在抓住头条新闻，以将其Brunello Cucinelli背心换成陆军储备制服，但在美国海军进行了更安静的转变。好吧，海军首席技术官贾斯汀·范内利（Justin Fanelli）说，他在过去的两年半中削减了繁文tape节，并缩小了曾经与军人合作的旷日持久的采购周期，这是一家初创企业的噩梦。这项努力代表了一种不太明显但可能更有意义的重塑，旨在使政府的行动更快，对美元的投入更加聪明。“我们比以往任何时候都更加开放商业和合作伙伴关系，” Fanelli在最近的Zoom采访中告诉TechCrunch。 “We’re humble and listening more than before, and we recognize that if an organization shows us how we can do business differently, we want that to be a partnership.”Right now, many of these partnerships are being facilitated through what Fanelli calls the Navy’s innovation adoption kit, a series of frameworks and tools that aim to bridge the so-called Valley of Death, where promising tech dies on its path from prototype to production. Fanelli说：“您的祖父政府有一个意大利面图表有关如何进入。” “Now it’s a funnel, and we are saying, if you can show that you have outsized outcomes, then we want to designate you as an enterprise service.”In one recent case, the Navy went from a Request for Proposal (RFP) to pilot deployment in under six months with Via, an eight-year-old, Somerville, Massachusetts-based cybersecurity startup that helps big organizations protect sensitive data and digital identities through, in part, decentralization,这意味着数据没有存储在一个可以被黑客入侵的中心地点中。 （VIA的另一个客户是美国空军。）海军的新方法是Fanelli所谓的“地平线”模型，并从麦肯锡的创新中借来并改编了。
