What’s the end game for the US Air Force’s command and control overhaul?
By: Valerie Insinna  

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md.— The U.S. Air Force’s top general has made multidomain command and control one of his top priorities. Now he wants to see it become the Pentagon’s No. 1 technology development initiative.

That means that when Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Dave Goldfein retires next year, he’d like to pass the baton to the Defense Department’s undersecretary of research and engineering — currently Mike Griffin — to execute a program that will encompass all the military services and the platforms they operate.

“We’ve made a lot of progress, but we’re only about 20-30 yards down the field and we’ve got to speed it up. So what’s the tipping point? At what point does this really take off? And I personally think that it’s at the point where we can make this profitable for industry,” Goldfein said May 10 in an exclusive interview with Defense News.
