Rear Adm. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/naval\/2020\/10\/14\/the-us-navys-manhattan-project-has-its-leader\/\" target=_blank>Douglas Small<\/a>, who leads the project, was <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingdefense.com\/2020\/11\/memo-shows-navy-making-major-jadc2-push-linking-sensors-shooters\/\" target=_blank>named <\/a>the direct report program manager in an October memo, and he reports to the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move will give Small authority over the \u201capplicable\u201d war-fighting networks, technical architectures and standards, and will \u201cexpand authorities to include data management designs and standards for platform integration and data interoperability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memo is signed by Frederick Stefany, acting assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, and Adm. William Lescher, vice chief of naval operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe memo signed by Mr. Stefany and ADM Lescher is the next step in codifying CNO\u2019s October 2020 memo. &nbsp;This recent memo enables the transfer of requisite authorities to RADM Small so he can effectively and efficiently execute the CNO\u2019s directives,\u201d said Lt. Courtney Callaghan, spokesperson for the Navy. \u201cCritical to Project Overmatch is the development of networks, infrastructure, data architecture, tools and analytics that support the operational and developmental environment that will enable sustained maritime dominance using manned and unmanned systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Project Overmatch DRPM will also be tasked with developing a unified approach to the data, infrastructure, tools and analytics \u201cneeded at the operational and tactical levels to execute DMO as envisioned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DRPM will also include a senior executive service deputy director position that will focus on Overmatch and staffing needs, working with leaders inside the Navy\u2019s Digital Integration Support Cell and necessary program integration offices \u201cto ensure a \u2018whole of Navy\u2019 enterprise team across Program Executive Offices (PEO) and System Commands (SYSCOM).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, all science and technology efforts related to war-fighting networks and advanced data architectures and analytics will fall under the DRPM, according to the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy\u2019s move to consolidate Overmatch responsibilities underneath one office is important as the military services look to break down stovepipes to move toward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2020\/11\/09\/data-standards-pose-a-sneaky-obstacle-to-joint-war-fighting\/\" target=_blank>Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a>.
