WASHINGTON \u2014 Senior officials from the Army, the Air Force and the Marine Corps said this year\u2019s Project Convergence networking-and-tech experiment, going on now in the western U.S. and across the Pacific, should help allay concerns that the Pentagon\u2019s joint all-domain command and control effort lacks coordination and finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to reporters Oct. 20, Undersecretary of the Army Gabe Camarillo<\/a>, Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy, Integration and Requirements Lt. Gen. Clinton Hinote and the commander of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, Brig. Gen. Kyle Ellison, agreed: The successes of Project Convergence, which kicked off this month and continues through November, show the services are aligned and not disjointed, as others allege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis experiment in Project Convergence is not an Army experiment. It\u2019s a joint experiment. And it\u2019s got full and active participation by all of our sister services, as well as our coalition partners, as I mentioned,\u201d Camarillo said in a response to questions posed by C4ISRNET. \u201cThe sense, as I\u2019ve seen it over the last year that I\u2019ve been in this role, has really been a convergence of all of the efforts across the Department of Defense to get after this problem set in a very common, consistent way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joint all-domain command and control, or JADC2, is a Defense Department vision of a wholly connected military<\/a>, in which forces across land, air, sea, space and cyber are speedily and accurately fed the information they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
