The Joint Staff’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control Campaign Plan Experiment 2 allowed Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to share information and display it as a common operational picture.
WASHINGTON: The Joint Staff has called an all-hands-on-deck conference for the end of the month to hash out common data standards for future Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) operations, says Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Dennis Crall, head of the J6.
“We’re going to tackle that at the end of January in a conference [where] we’re bringing together all of the folks who have a vested interest and we are going to attempt to settle this, or at least bring in some courses of action that we can use … in the department to have our senior leaders make decisions,” Crall, who in his role is leading the Joint Staff effort to develop a JADC2 strategy, said in an exclusive interview.
US military officials are in the early stages of developing a unified, comprehensive, interoperable wireless networking system that would basically connect everything owned and operated by the Pentagon.
Commanders envision the system connecting sensors with shooters across all domains, commands and services. In military parlance, doing so would increase lethality.
The system is called JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command and Control). And it s apparently going to run on 5G.
5G can enhance something as simple as virtual reality training or as ambitious as the connectivity of systems for JADC2, said Mark Esper in September, according to National Defense, a publication run by the National Defense Industrial Association trade group. Esper is the former US Secretary of Defense, having been fired by President Trump last month.
Doing his Tavares heritage proud
Keith Oliver My grandfather, Jack W. King, Jr., was the train station manager from 1926 to 1956, he said.
A listener was then treated to passed-down tales of Model T Fords rumbling down nothing but dirt roads, and his grandmother s creative entrepreneurial bent which so often gave way to her even stronger open-heartedness to those who needed a hand up.
And, more than anything, was the example and insistence from both grandmother and mother on church attendance, prayer and reading the Bible. It held King in good stead when the family left Tavares for Miami and hopscotched across Florida, following his highway patrolman father, Jack W. King, Sr., to his next posting.
