The development effort is meant to yield a network that can get the right information to the right users quickly, reliably, and on a network that\u2019s resilient to efforts by an enemy to destroy or disrupt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the Navy has said it intends to conduct a first deployment of an initial capability on a carrier strike group in 2023, little information has been revealed about whether the Navy is on track to meet that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rear Adm. Doug Small, the commander of Naval Information Warfare Systems Command and the lead for Project Overmatch, was asked to connect the dots between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/naval\/2020\/10\/14\/the-us-navys-manhattan-project-has-its-leader\/\">kickoff of Project Overmatch in October 2020<\/a> and the achievement of an early deployment in 2023, since other leaders have been short on details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m glad to hear that, because we\u2019ve been very deliberate about keeping a low profile and not a huge internet presence on \u2018here\u2019s all your facts on Project Overmatch,\u2019\u201d Small responded during a question-and-answer session at the WEST 2022 conference, cohosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur competitors steal everything, and frankly they\u2019re not ashamed of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project Overmatch is the Navy\u2019s contribution to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/2021\/06\/15\/part-1-what-the-budget-reveals-and-leaves-unclear-about-the-cost-of-jadc2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a>, or JADC2, an effort to seamlessly share data across the joint forces. According to the Pentagon\u2019s vision, JADC2 would enable the military to take data collected from any domain by any service, fuse and process it with artificial intelligence to create a common operating picture, and then send data on any perceived threats to the best weapon system to respond with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each service has pursued implementation of the JADC2 concept independently, leading to different approaches in developing technologies and discussing those efforts publicly. While Project Overmatch involves classified spending and Navy leadership has been loathe to elaborate on the initiative, the Army has been far more willing to publicly discuss its own implementation \u2014 Project Convergence \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2021\/11\/10\/at-second-project-convergence-us-army-experiments-with-joint-operations-in-the-arizona-desert\/\" target=\"_blank\">briefing reporters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2021\/06\/15\/part-3-proposed-modernization-increases-show-army-sees-joint-operations-as-top-priority\/\" target=\"_blank\">documenting their efforts in budget proposals<\/a>. The Air Force has also been far more open about its effort, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/c2-comms\/2021\/06\/15\/part-2-congress-dealt-abms-a-blow-but-experts-see-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Advanced Battle Management System<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small declined to break the Navy\u2019s relative silence on its JADC2 efforts, while insisting that the service was making progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been working at a fever pitch to deliver on those goals, and I won\u2019t go into any of the specifics on those things, but in general what we\u2019re doing is bringing the best of world-class commercial technologies, how the best companies in the world deliver capability to their users, and we\u2019re just bringing that into the Navy and doing it at speed and scale,\u201d Small<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also bristled at how Project Overmatch gets characterized \u2014 with Navy officials, lawmakers, media and more referring to an \u201cany sensor, any shooter\u201d capability the Naval Operational Architecture will bring, such that any ship, aircraft, unmanned system or deployed sensor could share target-quality data in real time and allow the best-positioned missile launcher to take a shot at the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s part of it, Small said during the Q+A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But \u201cit\u2019s also being able to send emails and do other things\u201d to share data across the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOvermatch is not necessarily just about connecting weapons and sensors. A lot of people try to summarize, whether it\u2019s [Joint All-Domain Command and Control] or Overmatch or whatever it is, as any sensor, any weapon. It\u2019s really not \u2014 Overmatch is about decision advantage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called for a culture change that embraces the networks, tools, data analytics, data architectures, and the infrastructure to move and understand data faster, allowing for decision-superiority in all things the Navy tries to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t the first time the Navy has been tight-lipped about Project Overmatch. In announcing the service\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/2021\/06\/15\/part-1-what-the-budget-reveals-and-leaves-unclear-about-the-cost-of-jadc2\/\">fiscal 2022 budget request<\/a>, the Navy noted just that Project Overmatch was covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/2021\/06\/15\/part-4-classified-navy-jadc2-budget-plan-has-a-few-spending-hints\/\">three research and development funding lines that were all
