EXCLUSIVE Navy Makes Major JADC2 Push, Linking Sensors & Shooters
Recent exercises like RIMPAC and Valiant Shield have tested some of this new data sharing. "There’s a couple of ships on the bottom of the Pacific right now from those exercises that were demonstrating some of those concepts," said Vice Adm. Jeffrey Trussler.

WASHINGTON: After two years of relative silence about All Domain Operations, the Navy is throwing more weight behind the Pentagon’s effort to link everything from submarines to drones flying high overhead on one shared network, assigning a group of admirals and a team from the defense industry to tackle the problem and find ways to link into the Joint All Domain Command and Control initiative.
The Navy’s vice chief of naval operations, its top acquisition official, and the assistant commandant of the Marine Corps issued a memo that lays out the plan to develop Project Overmatch, the Navy’s answer to building a digital foundation for pushing more real-time data everywhere at once between the five services.
The Oct. 1 memo, obtained by Breaking Defense, lays out the structure of the Navy-wide effort to develop and field these new technologies, and names Rear Adm. Doug Small, chief of the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, as director of the various working groups.
