Fighting Tomorrows Fight Today: Joint All Domain Operational Testing of Next Generation Technology

Abstract

As we forge what Joint All Domain Operations will look like from an Air Force and Joint perspective, we need to understand the ways services can better communicate, integrate weapon capabilities, and conduct ops at blistering speed to keep our adversaries off balance. The critical component to how we, as a service, will doctrinally fight to win wars in 2030 and beyond is directly linked to what affords us more time and interoperability. As the need to upgrade technology persists, there will be a requirement for combined operational test and evaluation criteria and a method to present technological test results to the joint force from the decision makers on Capitol Hill down to the tactical teams on the ground. A repository of all developmental and operational testing performed within the Department of Defense, that is both protected from adversaries and accessible between branches and organizations, will offer significant returns and prevent delays due to repeated efforts caused by lack of information.
