OCTOPUS

Abstract

Octopus is an integration of multi-modal communication technologies enabling multi-domain remote command and control (C2), long-range fires, and enhanced communications to support Joint Warfighting operations in a contested environment. Octopus will enable remote C2 by leveraging a rapidly deployed, cabled infrastructure, to employ acoustic, optical, and Radio Frequency (RF) communications and allow remote operators to communicate with air, surface, and subsurface assets. Octopus provides resilient communications to the battlespace Commander in a denied environment. This effort directly supports several of the Combatant Commands Integrated Priority List (IPLs), and will provide insight into Concept of Operations (CONOPs) development in support of the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC).
