Breaking Down Barriers In Joint Command And Control

The US Army successfully executed a live fire mission using Marine Corps-provided data, demonstrating integration with the Marine Corps and coalition partners. The event, part of the Ivy Sting series, aimed to build up the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control ecosystem. The Army employed Marine Corps data to enable two-way data sharing with Marine systems, and the test included 48 joint force nodes connected to the NGC2 ecosystem. According to officials, the event marked a major increase in the number of nodes, sensors, and external data feeds connected. The test was first reported by Breaking Defense.
