DOD C3 Modernization Strategy

DOD COMMAND, CONTROL, AND COMMUNICATIONS (C3) Modernization STRATEGYFULLY NETWORKED ENABLING GLOBALLY INTEGRATED OPERATIONS E NS U R IN G A M O RE LE THAL JOINT FORCEi ForewordCommand,control, andcommunications (C3) systems are fundamental to all militaryoperations, delivering the critical information necessary to plan, coordinate, and control forcesand operations across the full range of Department of Defense (DoD) , the military achieved and maintained a dominant C3 technological advantage but peercompetitorsand adversaries have closed the gap. DoD s current C3 systems are notkeepingpace withthe threat or meeting ourJoint Warfighters ever increasing information exchangeneeds. TheJoint Force must be equipped with the latestC3capabilities providing real-timesituation awarenessand decision supportacrossalldomains. Futureconflicts could well be decided by information advantage,successgoing to the side that transformsvast amounts of data from distributed sensors and weapons systemsacross multipledomains into actionable information for better, faster decision makingand precisioneffects.

Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) is developing and evolving a long term (2024 and beyond) Fully Networked Command, Control, and Communications (FNC3) architecture. Implementing these future concepts and architectures will take time to mature new technologies and investment over many years.
