Joint All-Domain Command and Control

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a U.S. military concept to connect sensors from all military branches and domains (air, land, sea, space, cyber) into a single network. This aims to enable faster decision-making and more effective responses against adversaries.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a comprehensive US military strategy to integrate C4ISR capabilities across all warfighting domains (air, land, sea, space, cyber) into a unified network, enabling rapid data sharing, enhanced situational awareness, and accelerated decision-making from sensor to shooter for the Joint Force.

BACKGROUND

Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, is a concept in active development by the United States Department of Defense to link sensors from all branches of the United States Armed Forces into a unified network powered by artificial intelligence.
