Art and Science of JADC2 Conceptualization from a Navy Perspective
Abstract
Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is the art and science to rapidly translate knowledge and information into decisions and actions. It seeks to integrate all services across all warfare domains and through all communication environments. The research described in this report works toward JADC2 conceptualization from a Navy perspective. A comparative case study is used to analyze command and control (C2) for a maritime focused joint task force (JTF) involving integrated fires and Grey Zone operations across services. Key results highlight the importance of satellite communications to enable JTF integration, and they elucidate a matrix of critical communication links that emerge in environments of denied, degraded, intermittent or limited (DDIL) communication. This DDIL communication matrix serves as a prioritized JADC2 requirements set. Recommendations center on prioritizing these requirements; articulating and disseminating clear command intent that can be understood and implemented in DDIL environments; practicing Mission Command, Battle Rhythm Dilation, and Edge C2; remembering that people remain the most important element in JADC2; and developing the new knowledge, education, training and practice necessary for JADC2 success.
