Gen. John Morrison<\/a>, deputy chief of staff, G-6, said Aug. 17 at the AFCEA TechNet Augusta conference. \u201cThere is work to be done on making sure that we synchronize all the service efforts. But I know that senior leaders in the Department of Defense and senior leaders in the Army are working it very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JADC2 calls for a wholly connected military, with links across land, air, sea, space and cyber enabling speedy and accurate responses to threats. The concept is a significant departure from past and present, where disparate technologies and networks operated by different services impede the flow of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army, Air Force and Navy have their own contributions to JADC2 realization: Project Convergence, the Advanced Battle Management System and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/navy-league\/2022\/04\/07\/navy-working-with-services-on-data-but-project-overmatch-details-remain-scarce\/\" target=\"_blank\">Project Overmatch<\/a>, respectively. An overarching strategy and implementation plan exist, as does a cross-functional team meant to harmonize investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The different approaches, though, have led lawmakers, analysts and military officials to publicly worry about coordination \u2014 whether the services, in attempting to create seamless connectivity, are actually reaching beyond their own siloes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wanda Jones-Heath, the principal cyber adviser for the Air Force and Space Force, has said she believes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/2022\/08\/17\/senators-look-past-europe-push-pentagon-jadc2-vision-for-indo-pacific\/\" target=\"_blank\">JADC2 efforts<\/a> are disjointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/pentagon\/2022\/07\/28\/theyre-all-different-air-force-adviser-says-services-diverge-on-jadc2\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/200901-F-WJ663-9565.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">They\u2019re \u2018all different\u2019: Air Force adviser says services diverge on JADC2<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">\u201cI\u2019ve looked at all of the documentation associated with all three,\u201d she said, referencing Project Convergence, Project Overmatch and the Advanced Battle Management System.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve looked at all of the documentation associated with all three,\u201d she said at a July event hosted by the Potomac Officers Club. \u201cWe are not aligned with what we need to be to be interoperable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morrison on Wednesday said he was not familiar with Jones-Heath\u2019s comments while emphasizing JADC2\u2032s emerging fashion and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/air\/2022\/08\/17\/us-air-force-seeks-to-extend-winning-streak-in-hypersonic-weapon-tests\/\" target=\"_blank\">ongoing joint experimentation<\/a> meant to lock in the correct approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe good news that I would tell you is that, through venues like Project Convergence, especially using Project Convergence 22 as an example, you have the services talking to each other, working together to get after this notion of not interoperability, but integration of effects,\u201d Morrison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project Convergence 22, often referred to as PC 22, takes place later this year and will involve the Army and the other services and will be the first to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/05\/12\/project-convergence-22-aims-to-have-best-positioned-force-shoot-first\/\" target=\"_blank\">actively involve international partners<\/a>. The U.K. and Australia will participate in the massive experiment, while Canada and others observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specific attention will be paid to the Indo-Pacific and European theaters. Russian and Chinese threats informed the exercises, Defense News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army earlier this year verified the services and international forces participating in PC 22 could exchange information and connect over long distances, from Maryland to Texas to the U.K. and on further. The critical milestone came during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/06\/06\/army-verifies-info-sharing-abilities-with-forces-joining-project-convergence-22\/\" target=\"_blank\">communications exercise known as COMMEX 1B<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 50 technologies were tested during the three-week event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Project Convergence 22 is the perfect, practical example of where we are coordinating laterally with our sister services,&#8221; said Lt.
