Sponsored by: In 2022, the. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) released its Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) strategy, which “is intended to produce the warfighting capability to sense, make sense, and act at all levels and phases of war, across all domains, and with partners, to deliver information advantage at the speed of relevance,” according to the DoD’s CJADC2 Executive Summary. CJADC2 will modernize the DoD’s command-and-control (C2) systems with an integrated network that links sensors and target data from the tactical edge to C2 systems across multiple domains including land, sea, air, space, cyber, and spectrum to enable real-time responsiveness.
Powered by Military Embedded Systems, the CJADC2 At The Edge Virtual Summit is designed to drive awareness and thought leadership around CJADC2 concepts and requirements and to study how AI, high-performance computing, cyber operations, signal-processing solutions, and other embedded technologies solutions will impact system designs.
