The next military edge is increasingly defined by decision speed rather than hardware progress. A report from the General Catalyst Institute highlights that adversaries exploiting rapid breakthroughs can erode fixed advantages built on legacy systems and multi-year development cycles. Consequently, defense planners are embedding software teams with military commanders to integrate commercial software tools, AI models, and real-time data into operations.
These software units aim to create nimble capacity in warfare by advancing software-driven workflows and real-time validation. Teresa Carlson, founding president of the Institute, emphasizes clear accountability for honest assessment, software quality, and technology transition as essential to building a force defined by agility rather than mass.
