US Army and USAF to jointly develop battlefield network, called CJADC2
By Garrett Reim2 October 2020
The US Army and the US Air Force (USAF) signed an agreement to jointly develop a battlefield communications network, called Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).
The military branches agreed to a two-year development collaboration, it was announced on 1 October.
The Department of Defense (DoD) wants all of the services to share information across a battlefield communications network, conceptually named Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), enabling faster collaboration between a wide variety of military personnel and equipment, including soldiers, tanks, artillery, submarines, ships, satellites, aircraft and missiles.
In simplified terms, the Pentagon wants to quickly overwhelm an adversary by hitting them with the full force of all the services simultaneously. The DoD also wants to shorten the time between spotting a target and striking through intra-service collaboration.
