Allied Air Command | DACCC celebrates its tenth anniversary of ... - Allied Air Command

Established in 2013, following NATO's 2010 Strategic Concept and the relocation of the Combined Air Operations Centre to Torrejon (Spain), the role of the DACCC has developed over the past decade to remain relevant in the new geo-political landscape and shifting dynamics of the international order. More recently, the DACCC's ability to deploy to the Eastern flank of Europe has become increasingly crucial to support the projection of Air Power and provision of vital command and control capabilities

I strongly believe we have to work hard in realizing true Multi Domain Operations. To a lesser extent to same applies to fully exploiting the capabilities of fifth generation weapon-systems and modern technology

The ceremony started with a speech of the first Commander of DACCC, General (retired) Mirco Zuliani; he said: "my task along with the staff at that time was to start shaping this new entity, trying to give content that could be useful to the alliance in the years to follow".

Sponsored and supported by 16 member-states, over the past year alone the DACCC has delivered and taken part in multiple exercises, trained a large number of staff from across the NATO force structure in numerous courses, deployed with our Deployable Air Defense Radar and supported NATO through activation of individuals to support Joint Force Command in Naples. The heightened importance of NATO's operational tempo is clear, but the DACCC's role in training has also increased and the DACCC has become Allied Air Command's premiere training and educational facility. Over the past decade, the DACCC has organized more than 100 courses and trained around 3000 operators who have then worked in various operational levels across the Alliance.

The anniversary has been a chance to pause and recognize the DACCC's wide-ranging achievements over the last 10 years and to thank those Commander's past and present who have lead the DACCC to where it is now. It is also a chance to recognize the busy year ahead as DACCC continues to evolve and work to enhance its reputation as a center of excellence at the heart of NATO's Air command and control (AirC2).

The DACCC now thrives as four main pillars with Commander's vision of being "operationally effective, agile and relevant; to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional Air Command and Control , fit for today and always looking to the future". In addition to the standard business, the Deployable Air Operations Centre, the Training and Exercise team and the Combat Service Support Division are already working hard to deliver Ramstein Ambition 23 which is being held at Poggio Renatico in April. Furthermore, the Deployable Air Control Centre, Recognized Air Production Centre and Sensor Fusion Post team are readying for a major deployment in July where they will yet again prove their impressive capabilities and operational effectiveness. 

Looking to the future, subject matter experts (SME) from across the DACCC have been tasked to establish the first NATO Air Support Operations Centre (ASOC). The ASOC will provide AirC2 SME support to the NATO warfighting corps and will further enhance NATO's tactical air-land integration capabilities.

The ceremony ended with a final speech addressed by Major General Denny Traas, Commander of DACCC, who said: "Improvements in achieving integration are needed, in many ways. Accelerating Integration is therefore one of COM AIRCOM, Gen Hecker's main priorities. In line with that, I strongly believe we have to work hard in realizing true Multi Domain Operations. To a lesser extent to same applies to fully exploiting the capabilities of fifth generation weapon-systems and modern technology".

Virginia Tech Pamplin alumnus Jay Ives included in Forbes' 30 ... - Virginia Tech Daily

In the early months of 2020, as COVID-19 left many small and medium-sized businesses struggling in its wake, Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business alumnus and Jives Media founder Jay Ives saw an opportunity to serve his local community. "Businesses were hurting, and I wanted to do everything in my power to support them," Ives said. What he couldn't have foreseen is how taking this opportunity to serve would, over the course of just two years, rapidly transform his career and earn him a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list among the world's top marketers. The 29-year-old entrepreneur and CEO started his professional journey as a marketing management major at Virginia Tech, completing his undergraduate degree in 2016. "I knew to be a 'lethal marketer,' I had to have the proper support, training, and education to develop both qualitative and quantitative marketing skills." He chose to enroll in Pamplin for the world-class education he knew he woul...

Top ICT tenders: Eskom looks to customer engagement - ITWeb

Image
With president Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address due to take place on Thursday, and rumours of an imminent cabinet shakeup abounding, it's unsurprising that National Treasury's eTender Portal is relatively quiet this week. That's not to say there's little of interest in the issue though. In fact, a notice from beleaguered Eskom is likely to attract attention from all sectors of society. In the tender, the utility states it wishes to replace its existing customer relationship management (CRM) solution, including the CS Online web portal and MyEskom customer mobile application. The tender documentation notes Eskom's existing applications and architecture are "fragmented with limited functionality and do not provide a holistic, omni-channel customer engagement experience that is seamless across channels (telephony IVR, web portal, mobile app)". What's more, it says it would like to move as many of its costly telephony interaction...
