On 1 October 2020, the Chief of Naval Operations announced Project Overmatch, an initiative “to develop the networks, infrastructure, data architecture, tools, and analytics that support the operational and developmental environment that will enable our sustained maritime dominance.” This project will form the core of the Navy’s contribution to joint all-domain command and control, or JADC2, the Department of Defense–wide (DoD-wide) effort to unify information sharing across platforms and services. Project Overmatch will join the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and the Army’s Project Convergence, two networked warfare programs already in advanced stages of development.

The High Tech Way the U.S. Military Wants to Talk to Satellites
Quickly sharing data to the right units and commanders is critical in wartime.
The U.S. military excels at acquiring intelligence, but central command and boots on the ground engaged in combat operations often run into technical bottlenecks when trying to share that mission-critical data over single beam terminals, such as parabolic antennas and other outdated infrastructure.
The U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy are conducting a series of ongoing key trials of cutting-edge satellites and terminals in a concerted effort to break through communications hurdles in an increasingly adversarial world. High-powered connectivity delivers a real competitive edge in battle.
For US and allies, prepping for AI warfare starts with the data February 12 The Pentagon s leading artificial intelligence office started roundtable discussions with international allies on artificial intelligence challenges. (metamorworks) WASHINGTON The U.S. and allies are using a new forum started by the Pentagon’s top artificial intelligence office to work toward developing AI systems that can connect in the future to help them fight better together. The Partnership for Defense, started by the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center last September, is laying the groundwork for future AI-enabled joint war-fighting capabilities that will need to connect to each other for the U.S. and its allies to effectively fight as a coalition.
