Kevin Mulvihill, acting deputy chief information officer for command, control and communications within the Office of the Department of Defense CIO, has assumed the role of deputy CIO for C3 on a permanent basis.
The Office of the DOD CIO announced Mulvihill’s appointment in a LinkedIn post published Tuesday.
In this capacity, he provides strategic direction, policy guidance and oversight of DOD’s efforts to modernize C3 capabilities, including communications systems and networks; position, navigation and timing; waveform management; tactical network management; enterprise mobility; and spectrum.
Mulvihill’s “expertise and leadership of key initiatives will ensure that DoD continues to modernize and improve support to the Warfighter – ranging from the Satellite Communications and PNT to the implementation of cutting edge 5G/Next G technologies in support of operations,” the Office of the DOD CIO said in the post.
Mulvihill previously helped the DOD CIO meet warfighter requirements by leading modernization initiatives in the fields of satellite and tactical communications and data links.
The U.S. Air Force veteran also served as a net-centric capability portfolio manager within the Office of CIO Headquarters Air Force at the Pentagon.
