2023 will see the Navy deploying its high-tech and super-secretive Project Overmatch capability aboard a carrier strike group for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few details are known about the program, which began in 2020 and is the Navy\u2019s contribution to the Pentagon\u2019s Joint All-Domain Command and Control effort, an initiative that seeks to reliably connect forces across land, air, sea, space and cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaders have framed it as one of the Navy\u2019s most important missions in 2023, one made doubly vital by a parallel drive to incorporate more drones in the fleet that can serve as intelligence-collecting nodes, feeding vital information to ships and ashore command centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Navy has not identified the specific technologies or software involved in next year\u2019s expected CSG demonstration, Rear Adm. Doug Small, who leads Project Overmatch and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, told sister publication Defense News<\/a> that the event will be the \u201cstarting gun\u201d of the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small said that after the first CSG deployment, the plan is to install the required hardware and software on all 11 carrier strike groups, Defense News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
