Assured Global Command, Control, and Communications Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area prototypes innovative technologies to enable experimentation with new Joint Service command and control concepts. In future theaters information will need to flow seamlessly between humans, AI agents, vehicles, autonomous systems, and weapon platforms to provide sufficient flexibility and rapid action that assures technological and operational dominance. Assured response requires resilient and robust networks where every aperture is an interoperable node regardless of Service, platform, or transmission methods. This focus area enables rapid prototyping and transition of key technology components that enable multi-function systems and increases utilization and efficiency across the command, control, and communications architectures. Component technologies that may be prototyped included miniaturized hardware, novel multi-purpose apertures, flexible and secure waveforms, common interfaces, and modern techniques. Where possible, identified projects leverage commercial technologies including high bandwidth data links, 5G protocols, advanced software defined radios, and AI enabled network management. Prototype development and demonstration will leverage partnerships with industry, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, Academia, Service laboratories, and our international partners.
