The companies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/industry\/2023\/08\/16\/orders-flooding-in-on-pentagons-9-billion-cloud-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\">are in competition with one another for task orders<\/a>, and each is only guaranteed $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dozens of orders totaling hundreds of millions of dollars have already been logged using JWCC. The arrangement spans unclassified, classified and top-secret designations and is meant to connect far-flung front lines with established headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen we announced JWCC, it was a three-year base with two option years, and we\u2019re already in the one-year base of this,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/5g\/2023\/11\/08\/pentagon-cio-takes-5g-reins-amid-focus-on-future-networking-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chief Information Officer John Sherman<\/a> said Dec. 13 at the DODIIS Worldwide Conference in Portland, Oregon. \u201cWe said all along, in \u201824, in that timeframe, we\u2019re going to start looking at what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sherman provided no timeline for what the Defense Department has previously advertised as full and open multi-cloud and multi-vendor competition. He did say, though, the Defense Information Systems Agency will play a key role in \u201cJWCC 2.0.\u201d DISA is the department\u2019s de facto information technology authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/07\/11\/tech-watchlist-reveals-pentagon-vision-of-future-digital-battlefield\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1442276054.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Tech Watchlist\u2019 reveals Pentagon vision of future digital battlefield<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The fiscal 2023 list includes generative AI, quantum-resistant cryptography, Thunderdome cybersecurity and 5G wireless communications.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are firmly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/10\/09\/army-cio-garciga-forecasts-cloud-growth-following-really-hard-sprint\/\" target=\"_blank\">committed to mutli-cloud, multi-vendor<\/a>, and this is what we\u2019re going to be doing moving forward,\u201d Sherman said. \u201cWatch this space. More to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JWCC is considered the backbone of the Defense Department\u2019s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control initiative, or CJADC2, in which forces and their databases across land, air, sea, space and cyber are interlinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cloud is increasingly seen as a means to get the right data to the right people at the right time \u2014 the tenet of CJADC2.
