The National Reconnaissance Office is writing new interface standards to ensure its data will be compatible with the Department of Defense\u2019s Joint All-Domain Command and Control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NRO acquires and operates the United States\u2019 spy satellites, collecting and disseminating vast amounts of signals and geospatial intelligence. Now, as the DoD works to build a new Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system<\/a>, the agency is working to ensure that it\u2019s data will be able to flow directly from its satellites and data processors to the war fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JADC2 is a new data architecture<\/a> being pursued by U.S. Air Force and Space Force leaders that will connect sensors to shooters. Once in place, JADC2 will allow platforms from all services to receive, fuse and incorporate data from multiple sensors from any domain for targeting and other operations. The Air Force has been building and testing the Advanced Battle Management System<\/a> for just this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
