FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Combined All Domain Command and Control Communications (CJADC2) strategy is imperative for the U.S. military and its allies to continue dominating global military operations. The current increase in adversary military interventions is undermining U.S. interests and directly threatening U.S. forces and allies. Rapid changes to the international security environment have us facing enemies with new strategies and offensives impeding and possibly denying our command and control (C2) capabilities. This potential threat could debilitate our battlespace knowledge, undermining our ability to effectively act at the crucial speed of relevance. The CJADC2 system is necessary to provide decision-making superiority to command the Joint Forces across all warfighting domains to deter and defeat any adversary at any time at any location around the globe.

Key Points: 
  • McQ Inc. teamed with Iridium and AGIS to conduct a global demonstration of the new DoD mandated CJADC2 Command and Control messaging technology to show that near-term adoption is available.
  • FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Combined All Domain Command and Control Communications (CJADC2) strategy is imperative for the U.S. military and its allies to continue dominating global military operations.
