Indopacom J2 CTO Ben Needles discusses the challenges and priorities of integrating various capabilities in the mission partner environment across the Indo-Pacific region.

Needles described at AFCEA TechNet Indo-Pacific in Honolulu how his directorate is standardizing knowledge and data to prepare for leveraging emerging technologies like AI to enhance intelligence analysis and decision-making in the field. This, he said, would help the command avoid high costs associated with using other available large language models.

Finally, he highlights the importance of testing and experimenting not only with technology, but also policies and other guidance.
