But to reach the Defense Department\u2019s goal to connect the any sensor to the best-positioned person in a battle, the military must set common data standards and implement application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow older and newer systems to talk to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the military is preparing to lay out its requirements and strategy for JADC2, SOCOM Chief Data Officer Thomas Kenney said that the services need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2021\/05\/12\/pentagon-tries-to-find-the-right-balance-on-jadc2-standards-for-services\/\" target=\"_blank\">to set standards<\/a> for all future systems to enable interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to start at a very high level, just put a stake in the ground and say every system that is developed for the future is an API-centric system with regards to access to its data,\u201d Kenney said at C4ISRNET\u2019S <a href=\"https:\/\/events.c4isrnet.com\/office-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\">Removing Stovepipes<\/a> webcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon and its service components are undergoing a reckoning with the sheer amount of data they collect, trying to understand the basics of what information they have and how they can share that data across the department. As part of that effort, the department released an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/it-networks\/2020\/10\/08\/how-the-pentagons-data-strategy-enables-joint-all-domain-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\">enterprise data strategy<\/a> on its data needs for joint war fighting. Chief data officers across the department frequently meet to discuss data challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is leading the JADC2 initiative, is scheduling several meetings this year with data leaders across services, combatant commands and allies to set data standards to enable joint war fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if a system isn\u2019t interoperable, Kenney said a process must be put in place for people to access needed data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A critical pillar of JADC2 is the \u201cdemocratization of data,\u201d meaning that data is easily available to users who need it, he said. For example, full-motion video or object detection data is relevant to multiple program offices at SOCOM, such as fixed wing and maritime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to ensure that in a JADC2 world, we don\u2019t just assume that all of the data is all going to end up in one data center, in one data warehouse, in one data store,\u201d Kenney said. \u201cWe need to acknowledge that there, especially with telemetry and IoT [internet of things] data, there are going to be multiple sources where we may need to access the data or aggregation of that data, but not necessarily have to copy it all into a single source so that we get access there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SOCOM is building out its own SOF-specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/2020\/10\/15\/us-armys-tactical-network-team-tests-new-unified-data-fabric-in-yuma\/\" target=\"_blank\">data fabric<\/a>, or a data management environment with common standards and tools, which will allow SOF systems to talk to each other. The information that SOCOM officials learn as they share data helps \u201cinform and enhance what we\u2019re doing and other verticals,\u201d which is useful for acquisitions. Special Operations will build its data fabric with APIs so it can easily interact with one from other services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one hurdle that could hinder the military\u2019s effort to make data easily accessible is finding adequate tools to verify users\u2019 identities. Kenney said the Pentagon needs identity, credential and access management tools that would allow users across services to securely use tools from sister services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we\u2019re going to democratize the data and democratize our systems, having a common way to secure that data, where systems talk in like ways to each other, will really accelerate our ability to have interoperability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Operations Command&#8217;s top data official laid out key data
