Combined JADC2 — Incorporating our Guardian Force
Col. Tim Sejba from the Space and Missile Center, and David Shaw from Astrapi, give insight into the efforts to connect the U.S. military services through cutting-edge technology and innovative startup solutions.
What you’ll find out
- How can we improve national security through technological integration?
- What programs are currently available to vendors looking to pitch to government customers?
- What is the mission behind Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), the Department of Defense’s concept to connect sensors across all military services (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force) into a single network?
Key takeaways
- “As we look at JADC2 and network architecture in the future, it’s prime for small, innovative companies to bring unique capabilities in and network those into the larger architecture. I think that’s how we’re going to continue to innovate and stay ahead of the adversaries going forward.” — Col. Tim Sejba, United States Air Force
- “You’ve got several hundred of the key people, where you don’t have to spend money traveling all over the country, knocking on a lot of doors with a lot of false starts. They’re all right there, with a management company that supports those efforts.” — David Shaw, Astrapi
- “When we have all these sensors and capabilities networked together, it’s going to be underpinned by those types of technologies so that we can take the data. We can make it accessible to decision-makers and really turn that data into decision quality information so that we’re able to turn at speeds and operate at a time and tempo that outpaces our adversaries.”– Col. Tim Sejba, United States Air Force
- “Many cases we’re carrying those vendors through significant design reviews, and some cases all the way through a full-up prototype, so that we can really see which is the best solution. In some cases, we may need multiple solutions, multiple providers to be able to provide the capacity of some of these needs going forward for our future architecture, certainly in order to service a lot of different customers across the Department of Defense.” — Col. Tim Sejba, United States Air Force
