Service Seeks Interoperability Among Dozens of Weapons Systems
The US Army is launching a new initiative, ‘Right to Integrate,’ to improve the integration of its command-and-control software for dozens of military systems. The effort will involve a series of one-day brainstorming sessions, or ‘hackathons,’ with leading vendors, including Anduril, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. The goal is to enable better data sharing and communication among systems, and to adopt an open-architecture approach for its next-generation C2 platform. According to Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, the initiative is driven by the need for speed and interoperability on the battlefield, as demonstrated by the war in Ukraine. This development was first reported by Defense One.
