GovConJudicata Weekly Debrief (12/2–6)
This week's Weekly Debrief covers GAO's report on agency IoT compliance, the Pentagon's strategy for countering drones, Anduril's robot submarine, the role of NASA's administrator, and delays for NASA's Artemis missions.
GAO
"A handful of federal agencies missed deadlines to complete Internet of Things cybersecurity requirements called out in a 2020 law, a new congressional watchdog report found."
Defense
"Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has signed a classified strategy that aims to create a unified and comprehensive approach across the Defense Department to countering drones, an acknowledgment of the systems’ growing impact on modern warfare."
"Anduril is putting a new autonomous submarine known as Dive-XL through endurance runs off the coast of California, as it seeks to tap into what company executives tell Breaking Defense they see as a growing commitment from the Pentagon to use unmanned underwater vehicles."
NASA
"Leaders of NASA sit in an awkward position. While they are the head of a widely recognized organization, they’re often not the most famous individual in the agency. More people probably know the names of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the astronauts currently “stranded” on the International Space Station, than Bill Nelson, the current NASA administrator."
"NASA has further delayed the next two Artemis missions to the moon, pushing back the first crewed landing of the program to the middle of 2027. At a press conference Dec. 5, NASA leadership said they were delaying the Artemis 2 and 3 missions after finding the root cause of erosion of the Orion heat shield on the Artemis 1 mission two years ago."
