The Defense Department is moving rapidly toward the future of warfare in which decision advantage will reign as the decisive factor in deterring conflict, and when needed, defeating adversaries.
Military leaders have long recognized the imperative to maintain the information edge in an increasingly complex and distributed global security landscape.
Earlier this year, DOD announced it had reached a minimum viable capability of Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control, the department's approach to providing material and nonmaterial solutions to arm front line commanders with rapid access to actionable battlefield information across all warfighting domains and throughout the globe.
The capability represents not only a force multiplier for the Joint Force but will also provide the foundation for ever increasing interoperability between the U.S. and global network of allies and partners.
That ability to work seamlessly across warfighting domains and theaters with a range of partners is key to maintaining the United States' enduring strength around the globe. It remains a prime focus among military leaders that shape how the U.S. plans, trains and fights.
But achieving the reality of seamless integration for CJADC2 between the U.S. and its broad range of partners is not without its challenges.
Disparate technologies among forces along with policy hurdles have presented a perennial challenge for integrating partner nations onto a single network.
