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.
A massive contract to manage thousands of PCS moves failed because U.S. Transportation Command did not adequately oversee the results, according to the Government Accountability Office.
