Fully Networked Command, Control, and Communications (FNC3) Universal Command & Control (UC2)

Abstract

In FY 2021, this focus area transitions from PE 0603699D8Z Emerging Capabilities Technology Development. UC2 will provide an interface that enables future commanders to dynamically connect any sensor in any domain to any shooter. The FNC3 UC2 project addresses a Secretary of Defense priority for integrated communications and networking. By focusing on a DoD-wide standard for the data layer of machine-to-machine (M2M) Command and Control (C2), the project will develop and demonstrate an efficient, evolvable, and broadly applicable standard to increase the interoperability, flexibility, and resiliency of FNC3 systems. Aligned with the Joint All-Domain Command & Control (JADC2) concept, UC2 compliant systems will dynamically respond by forming new systems and system combinations to address unanticipated, asymmetric, and evolving threats. The FNC3 UC2 project will provide warfighters faster access to new capabilities, while simplifying development and sustainment lifecycles, and lower operating and training costs.
