Welcome to the latest issue of MIT e-nnouncement, which offers our audience a recap of key recent news in the field of military IT, as well as a look at the stories in the current issue of Military Information Technology. Headline stories from the past few weeks include:
• A new Department of Defense competition is offering a prize of $1 million for the developer of a lightweight, wearable power source for warfighters in the field.
• The Air Force has set up a provisional major command for its new mission of protecting cyberspace.
• A new contract is funding development of a high rate satellite modem for data-intensive ISR applications.

This issue of MIT features Lieutenant General Charles E. Croom Jr., director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Also included is a special section entitled, “Who’s Who in DISA,” which features an interview with John Garing, chief information officer and director of planning and information for the agency.
