Webcast: Data for Joint Operations
The Defense Department plans to use data to expand the common operational picture, or COP, that informs troops about the state of the battlefield, enemy positions, and other high-value assets. Programs like the Army’s Project Convergence and Project Rainmaker, the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System, and the Navy’s Project Overmatch are intended to expand network functionality and collaboration across the services, inching the Pentagon ever closer to its goal of joint all domain command and control. But what steps are being taken to ensure DoD’s Mission Partner Environment has the same battlefield visibility as our own forces do? From a data perspective, what would it take for allies to integrate their information capabilities with U.S. troops for maximum situational awareness? In this webcast, C4ISRNET explored the data “building blocks” and policies needed to conduct successful joint operations with allied forces across all domains.

“Switching Cost” – For the Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft Program, It’s More than Just Money
Currently, the U.S. Army is undergoing a modernization effort after 40 years of operating and upgrading equipment designed during the Vietnam War-era, fielded in the early 1980s and served the Army from the Cold War through operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As platforms are developed through this new modernization effort, the Army must ascertain the switching costs to ensure affordability and operational congruency and reduce risk.
