Key Details
Official Description
Modern DAF operations are increasingly defined by mobility, expeditionary reach, and the necessity to operate in contested or infrastructure-sparse environments. Traditional authentication methods—such as Common Access Card (CAC) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)—were designed for stationary personnel within predictable, fixed-network environments. In multi-domain and joint logistics corridors, these legacy dependencies create operational friction, introduce significant access delays, and pres...
