This paper recommends that DoD (1) clearly define organizational roles and responsibilities for JADC2 to include the possibility of creating a Joint Program Executive Office, a new independent agency under the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD/R&E), or a lead combatant command (COCOM) for JADC2 (2) make key top-level architecture decisions, including narrowing the scope of JADC2 to just battle networks, as soon as possible and (3) expand its typical make/buy analysis to include options for buying services instead of products and including systems that may be commercially owned and operated.īattle networks, and more specifically DoD’s vision for JADC2, should ultimately be about enabling better options for commanders, speeding the tempo of decisionmaking, and optimizing effects in the battlespace. It draws on lessons from previous attempts to improve battle network integration and explores how DoD can properly scope the problem it is trying to solve and organize itself to effectively and efficiently acquire the systems needed to realize its vision for JADC2.

This paper examines the operational advantages and adversary threats driving the requirements for greater interoperability and resilience in battle networks.

This CSIS brief is the second in a series on the future of battle networks and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

Best practices, guidebooks, and lessons learned are a great source of systems engineering knowledge. It’s a collection of ways and means across many disciplines. There is no one standard definition or systems engineering process.The process is applied sequentially, one level at a time, adding additional detail and definition with each level of development. It transforms needs and requirements into a set of system product and process descriptions, generates information for decision-makers, and provides input for the next level of development. The Systems Engineering Process is a comprehensive, iterative, and recursive problem-solving process, applied sequentially top-down by integrated teams.
