Editor\u2019s note: This article was updated March 6, 2024, to include an additional statement from the U.S. Navy.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophisticated networking and communications capabilities derived from the U.S. Navy\u2019s hush-hush Project Overmatch are deployed on at least three carrier strike groups, according to the commander of the Third Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Overmatch represents the sea service\u2019s contribution to the Department of Defense\u2019s multibillion-dollar connectivity campaign known as Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a>. Military leaders have shared few details about its progress since inception in 2020, citing competition with Russia and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a March 5 discussion with reporters at Camp Pendleton, California, for the Army\u2019s technology crucible dubbed Project Convergence Capstone 4, Vice Adm. Michael Boyle said Project Overmatch is \u201calready fielded on\u201d three carrier strike groups. He did not name them, nor did he say for how long the capabilities had been installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Overmatch engineers are participating in PCC4<\/a>, where they are identifying connectivity gaps and fixes, according to Boyle. The capstone event aims to improve information-sharing and coordination of firepower across the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just experimenting for the sake of experimenting. We\u2019re experimenting to understand what works and what doesn\u2019t work, and what do we want to pursue as a capability that connects us together,\u201d the admiral said. \u201cThis is proving that we can connect, that I can connect, to a Patriot battery, that I can connect across the joint force, that I can connect through a tactical operations center-light to Air Force sensors and bring that information in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
