NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. \u2014 As the U.S. Air Force develops its next generation of command and control, it is using two measures of success: how quickly forces can be tasked and coordinated in a fight; and how tolerant digital systems are of new technologies and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the U.S. military outwits, outmaneuvers and outshoots a powerful adversary such as China or Russia, the Pentagon has pursued a strategy known as Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a>, linking sensor to shooter from the cyber realm to space. The Advanced Battle Management System, or ABMS, is the Air Force\u2019s contribution to the multibillion-dollar endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s two different, fundamental rails that we\u2019re looking at,\u201d Brig. Gen. Luke Cropsey, the integrating program executive officer for command, control, communications and battle management, told reporters Sept. 11 on the sidelines of the Air, Space and Cyber Conference at National Harbor in Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s the combat-effectiveness set of metrics that we\u2019d go look at, with regards to how well we\u2019re actually employing combat capability,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cBut then there\u2019s also the backend side of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cropsey was tapped last year by Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall to oversee a sprawl of connectivity campaigns and represent the service when working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense \u2014 a role he described as one of the most difficult he has assigned someone \u201cby a wide margin.\u201d The Pentagon\u2019s fiscal 2024 budget blueprint allocated $1.4 billion for CJADC2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Luke Cropsey at an event in July. (Colin Demarest\/C4ISRNET)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Key to benchmarking and maturing the Air Force\u2019s future communication abilities is the Shadow Operations Center-Nellis<\/a>, or ShOC-N, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. There, experts can tinker with emerging tech and \u201cassess industry bringing in battle-management applications, et cetera,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Daniel Clayton, the director of the ABMS Cross-Functional Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn our model, we have 13 discrete functions that we have identified that battle managers have to perform,\u201d he said at the conference. \u201cCan your application do all 13 of those? Yes or no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other opportunities for testing exist in military exercises such as the Army\u2019s Project Convergence<\/a>. Last year\u2019s iteration featured maritime- and land-centric scenarios colored by threats seen in the Indo-Pacific and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional metrics are being kicked around and could be rolled out in the future, according to Cropsey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are, actually, myriad different opportunities that are out there for us to go plug things into and actually experiment and prototype<\/a> to figure out, \u2018OK, where are we moving the needle? Where do we need to go back and make more adjustments?\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
