NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. \u2014 The U.S. Navy is testing technology developed as part of its secretive Project Overmatch using the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group<\/a> in the waters off California, according to the chief of naval operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adm. Mike Gilday told the Navy League\u2019s Sea-Air-Space conference, going on this week in National Harbor, Maryland, that the project \u201cis in full swing right now\u201d with the strike group, which typically has an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser and a couple of destroyers, a carrier air wing and thousands of personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observations have so far indicated that the endeavor is \u201con track, in terms of the objectives that we\u2019re seeking and where we want to go with it,\u201d Gilday told conference attendees<\/a> April 3, without providing details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Overmatch is the Navy\u2019s contribution to Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, the Pentagon\u2019s multibillion-dollar pursuit of seamless battlefield connectivity across land, air, sea, space and cyber. Since its 2020 inception, the project has been blanketed in secrecy \u2014 a condition experts say is necessitated by always-spying China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
