The leaders of Army Futures Command have met with Snap CEO Evan Spiegel to discuss how the U.S. Army is integrating technology-based software development models into its missions.
The visit took place at the Army Software Factory in Austin, Texas, where AFC had an opportunity to present to Spiegel the soldier-led force designs and applications it was working on, the Army division said Monday.
The Army Software Factory is an integrated software development initiative to teach, develop and employ self-sustaining talent from all ranks within the military and civilian workforce.
For his part, Spiegel expressed interest to work on an Army-centric application. He also discussed future opportunities in technology talent management and potential industry-government collaborations with the AFC.
