Novel approach to war-fighting

EGLIN AFB, Fla. - In the first field test of a novel approach to war-fighting, communicating and decision-making, the Air Force, Army and Navy used new methods and technology Dec. 16-18 for collecting, analyzing and sharing information in real time to identify and defeat a simulated cruise missile threat to America. A three-day exercise of the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) tested technology being developed to enable the military’s developing concept called Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). When fully realized, senior leaders say JADC2 will be the backbone of operations and deterrence, allowing U.S. forces, as well as allies, to orchestrate military operations across all domains of sea, land, air, space and cyber operations. The technology under development via ABMS enables this concept by simultaneously receiving, fusing and acting upon a vast array of data and information from each of these domains in an instant. The AF expects to receive around $185M in FY 2020 for this effort, and intends to bolster these resources over the next five years.
