WASHINGTON \u2014 The Pentagon is establishing an office tasked with aligning and accelerating joint all-domain command and control, a multibillion-dollar effort meant to tie together all components of the U.S. military, from sensor to shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition, integration and interoperability office will first look \u201cat how we\u2019re going to integrate, truly get JADC2 talking across the department,\u201d according to Chris O\u2019Donnell<\/a>, deputy assistant secretary of defense for platform and weapon portfolio management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army, Navy and Air Force each have their own approaches to the realization of JADC2. The Army has Project Convergence, the Navy has Project Overmatch and the Air Force has the Advanced Battle Management System. Uniting these efforts across land, air, sea, space and cyberspace is an office priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is already \u201cgreat work going on,\u201d there \u201cneeds to be more jointness, and we\u2019re working toward that,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said Oct. 26 at a symposium hosted by the Association of Old Crows<\/a>, a nonprofit specializing in electronic warfare and information operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Donnell\u2019s comments come amid concerns expressed by defense officials, lawmakers and analysts that the military services are not on the same page, or are not sufficiently collaborating. A version of the annual defense bill included an audit of JADC2 progress and prices. Staffers described the measure as informative, not punitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
