Air Force to host JADC2 industry day with Army, Navy

The Air Force's program executive officer for command, control, communications and battle management along with the Army and the Navy will hold an industry day on Joint All Domain Command and Control, according to a notice posted last week.

The classified industry day on Jan. 25 in El Segundo, CA, will “articulate the direction of each service’s respective contributions” to the JADC2 effort, the notice states.

The first session will require secret clearance while the second will require top secret/sensitive compartmented information clearance. Only one representative per company will be allowed with an event capacity of 185.

The Air Force has been ramping up its JADC2 efforts after the instatement of Brig. Gen. Luke Cropsey last year as the C3BM integrating PEO. Cropsey has said the Air Force contribution -- now called the DAF Battle Network but sometimes still referred to as the Advanced Battle Management System -- will focus strictly on operational needs, command and control, architecture and continuous capability deployment.

The Navy’s contribution -- Project Overmatch -- has remained largely classified but intends to connect the military with command and control intelligence.

The Army’s Project Convergence is running experiments to boost interoperability with its sister services as well as with allies.
