The Army plans to have its Next Generation Command and Control’s (NGC2) integrated data layer fully operational at the division level before next year’s Project Convergence Capstone (PCC) event, Army senior leaders said today.
The integrated data layer is a user interface where sensors from multiple domains can work together to supply information on enemy targets and other data the warfighter needs to make important calls. It’s a key part of the technology stack that makes up NGC2, and it creates a framework where, for example, artillery, operational, aviation and other systems can talk to each other so the warfighters operating these systems don’t have to digest the various data separately.
“We, on this side, kind of owe the Army an integrated data layer that then we can build applications just like the ones that are on your phone, where warfighting systems can reach you and use that same data, and we’re not building separate pieces of transport, complicated spaghetti charts that connect the boxes and flow data. Now all the data is in one place and anyone can interact with it,” Director of the Army’s Network Cross Functional Team Gen. Patrick Ellis told reporters at the Pentagon today.
