On the modern battlefield, it is increasingly crucial to arm weapon systems with actionable data to achieve effects in a constrained amount of time. However, in order to keep pace in an operational environment, where adversary weapon systems present advanced capabilities and ephemeral windows of targetable vulnerability, joint fires must maximize connectivity across the Services and across disparate platforms to achieve that goal. The Joint Force’s ability to move, maneuver, and control territory will continue to rely heavily on joint fires to create conditions that provide the supported commander freedom of action. JADC2’s core aim of rapidly translating decisions into action to achieve operational and information advantage in conflict applies to all the warfighting functions, and it is particularly prescient to joint fires. Victory in future combat will depend less on individual capabilities and more on the integrated strengths of a connected network available for coalition leaders to employ…What I’m talking about is a fully networked force where each platforms sensors and operators are connected.Īs the National Defense Strategy guides the Joint Force towards an environment of great power competition and defending the nation against near-peer adversaries, the concept of joint all-domain command and control (JADC2) has become the cornerstone to unifying networks, sensors, and weapon systems to distribute information across services, commands, decision makers and warfighters.
