NASHVILLE, Tn. — The Army’s Project Convergence 21 experiment at Yuma Proving Ground this fall provided the service’s network cross functional team director five main lessons, from the importance of a data fabric to to the need for a joint operational common picture, to inform future work.
Brig. Gen. Jeth Rey said during a presentation at the Army’s Technical Exchange Meeting here on Dec. 2 that the first takeaway was the need for a data fabric, which links disparate systems and technologies for a more seamless flow of information.
“There was no way that we could have achieved what we did at PC 21 with sensor to shooter without having a data fabric,” Rey said. “That’s why I told the team we have to push to get a data fabric earlier rather than later. I also explained that is also going to achieve” Joint All-Domain Command and Control.
