The Army’s NGC2 Is Transforming Command & Control with Advanced Data | SDW Case Study 3

Описание: As we conclude our series inspired by the Atlantic Council’s Commission on Software-Defined Warfare, we turn to one of the Army’s most ambitious modernization efforts: Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2).

Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) is a cutting-edge Army program revolutionizing command and control through advanced software and data management systems.

Key Takeaways:
NGC2 emerged to tackle fragmented, non-interoperable C2 systems resulting from the Army’s analog-to-digital transformation.
By leveraging a software-based, multi-vendor architecture, NGC2 puts versatile, interoperable tools directly into commanders’ hands, enabling better, faster decisions across intelligence, maneuver, fires, protection, sustainment, and more.
The program exemplifies the Commission’s vision of continuous commercial integration into legacy and future defense systems — fostering agility, innovation, and sustained operational advantage.
NGC2 is a model for how the Department of Defense can modernize and strengthen the force while maintaining battlefield readiness.

This final case study highlights how embracing software-defined solutions and industry collaboration helps ensure the U.S. Armed Forces remain prepared to meet rapidly evolving threats.
