Summary
This industry day presentation focuses on the next generation command & control (ngc2) initiative, presented by the program executive office command, control, communications, computers, and tactical (peo c3t) on september 16, 2024.
the presentation outlines a holistic approach to modernizing command and control systems within the army, emphasizing the need for integrated layers that facilitate capability development and delivery. Key themes include leveraging emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and zero trust architectures to enhance operational effectiveness.
the presentation advocates for a shift towards an "as-a-service" model for infrastructure and communications, promoting continuous experimentation and rapid adoption of new technologies.
the ngc2 initiative aims to address significant operational pain points identified through user feedback, including challenges in data sharing across echelons, insufficient bandwidth for mobile operations, and the need for integrated planning processes.
the proposed solution emphasizes a data-centric architecture that is open and standardized while ensuring robust transport capabilities. The document also discusses the importance of maintaining competitive advantages over adversaries through persistent experimentation and engagement with industry partners.
future steps include conducting technical demonstrations and fostering collaboration to refine requirements and solutions aligned with army modernization goals.
the presentation concludes by inviting ongoing dialogue at upcoming events such as ausa in october 2024 and tem xiii in december 2024.
