Unified Data Infrastructure For Enhanced Battlefield Coordination
The US Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative aims to build a unified data infrastructure to speed up data collection, management, analysis, and decision-making. According to Josh Wallin, Defense Program fellow at the Center for a New American Security, NGC2 will help the Army adapt to emerging and changing threats, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. The initiative focuses on modularizing hardware and software components to enable quick adaptation to new threats. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
