A New Battle Command Architecture for Multi-Domain Operations: Countering Peer Adversary Power Projection

Abstract

Realizing simultaneous cross-domain operations will require a new approach to battle management and the supporting command and control (C2) architecture required to rapidly find, fix, and finish large sets of adversary mobile targets. Today, such synchronization at speed is difficult if not impossible. Military decision makers are dependent on legacy C2 systems impeded by multiple barriers, including those between domains, classification levels, the Services themselves, and our allies. Employing sensors and effectors in domain- and Service-agnostic ways could dramatically shorten the time it takes to engage multiple relocatable targets. Solving the time problem enables the Joint Force to attack and maneuver faster than Red can operate. This acceleration is one of the central animating ideas behind joint all domain command and control (JADC2). Achieving JADC2 requires new organizational structures, new authorities, new concepts of operation, and new technologies and experimentation capabilities.
