Overwatch

Abstract

Overwatch is an overarching ground capability development effort which is leveraging technology and new concepts to fill ground combat and interagency capability gaps. It contains multiple initiatives seeking to cultivate and leverage emerging technologies and concepts to counter the current and future challenges characteristic of the irregular warfare environment. Projects are oriented toward increasing warfighter effectiveness on the battlefield and/or the development/enhancement of “whole of government” irregular warfare capabilities. The capability development effort furthers interagency capabilities by pursuing concept experimentation/validation, interoperability enhancements, and command and control development. Ground capabilities focus on command and control, force protection, situational awareness, and networked, cooperative engagement. These solutions include completed operational assessments, equipment prototypes, or validated concepts which can be used to inform and drive formal procurement processes and/or policy decisions.
