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.
The Air Force’s recruiting momentum is showing no signs of slowing in 2026, and leaders are already thinking about how they might get after even bigger goals in 2027 and beyond.
