The future of CJADC2: Connecting platforms, people, programs

Winning the next war will have less to do with which side has bigger ships and faster missiles, and more to do with how quickly military systems can connect, communicate, and operate together. In this episode of Mission Critical, host Ryan Robertson breaks down “integration” as a warfighting concept, and how it could become America’s next strategic advantage. The goal of integration is straightforward: allow warfighters in any domain to bring the might of the US armed forces to bear in an efficient, lethal, and cost-effective manner. You’ll hear insights from leaders in unmanned systems, shipbuilding, and new entrants into the defense manufacturing space, as we explore how platforms, domains, and manufacturing are converging to create a more connected and capable force. We cover: -Unmanned autonomous systems -Counter-drone and electronic warfare systems -Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) -Defense technology innovation -Integration across domains.
