US Joint Forces Command has undertake a new Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration to help it break down problems with battlespace communications. One goal, says JFCOM officials, is to give tactical commanders “the ability to access and control intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensors that directly benefit their operations.” The technology they plan to use is called Adaptive Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computer Systems and ISR Node—or AJCN, for short.
Maj. Gen. Larry Broadwell, deputy commander of the 16th Air Force, used an elaborate, sports-themed analogy for understanding information warfare at the AFA Warfare Symposium.
