In this Q&A with
Stephanie C. Hill, Lockheed Martin’s executive vice president for Rotary and Mission Systems, we discuss how AI/ML, open systems, and edge computing enable JADO.
Breaking Defense: How can the aerospace and defense industry help solve the services’ Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) and joint command and control challenges?
Hill: Gen. John Murray, commanding general for Army Futures Command recently said, “Start with a problem, don’t start with a solution and allow people to be innovative.” I agree wholeheartedly and know our industry can help the military services advance JADO in several ways. First, we are always listening to our customers and need to stay completely in sync so we understand those challenges. Then, through experimentation we can find new, better ways to solve those challenges together without having to go through a lengthy acquisition process.
