Joint Cyber Command and Control (JCC2)

Joint Cyber Command and Control (JCC2) falls under the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation budget activity of the Air Force. The program aims to provide Combatant Commanders, Joint Force Commanders, and Service Component Commanders with enhanced situational awareness and battle management for cyberspace operations missions and forces. It seeks to integrate Cyber Command and Control (C2) with Joint, Coalition, and inter-agency C2 to enhance multi-domain operations, reduce planning time, improve decision quality and speed resulting in a shorter kill chain. The program's objectives include developing capabilities to address the Cyber Mission Forces used to conduct cyber operations and leveraging a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Framework to pace development with warfighter need.

The program's planned activities include rapid prototyping, development of software/hardware systems, integration and transition of lab-developed cyber capabilities to the warfighter, testing and evaluation, program management, studies, analysis, pilots, and demonstrations. Additionally, it aims to enhance automation for mapping/monitoring of mission relevant terrain at all domains and integrate Situational Awareness and Battle Management Minimum Viable Capability Releases coupled with the incorporation of JCWA components. The program is in the Software Acquisition Execution Phase which enables continuous integration and delivery of software capability at the speed of relevance. It is transitioning from a collection of distinct, special-purpose tools to an integrated joint C2 capability to reduce overall lifecycle costs, improve interoperability, and increase information sharing across the CCMDs.
