The key is creating intelligent gateways that connect networks and the cloud across security domains and translate data so the joint services can speak the same language
By Breaking DefenseThere’s connective tissue among gateways, 5G, edge computing, and AI/ML that can be built to develop the advanced network capabilities needed for JADC2.
By Breaking Defense“There are going to be a number of challenges to overcome the closer and closer we get that we should not overlook,” Dan Rice, vice president of 5G.MIL programs at Lockheed Martin, said of future tests.
By Jaspreet GillThe digital battle network will be powered by Northrop’s advanced mission systems and AT&T 5G and will bring together high speeds, low latency and cybersecurity protections of private 5G networks to support DoD’s JADC2 vision.
By Jaspreet GillFor DoD applications, 5G needs high levels of cybersecurity. Stand-alone 5G networks, like the Hughes network, are inherently more secure than older networks where 5G is added onto the existing network,” Rajeev Gopal, vice president, Advanced Programs, told Breaking Defense.
By Theresa HitchensIn an exclusive interview, Lockheed’s head of 5G programs described a first demonstration in December, in which Lockheed and Microsoft connected commercial 5G with military datalinks such as Link 16 for simulated missions.
By Valerie Insinna“The user, whether a military force or a rescue unit, can deploy in a remote area like the middle of the desert, and within minutes set up the communication system,” as Saab executive said.
By Riad KahwajiThe company is developing the Open Systems Interoperable and Reconfigurable Infrastructure Solution for the office of the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering through September 2024.
By Jaspreet GillThe Afghanistan withdrawal and the consolidation of all in-country military networks to one base at Hamid Karzai International Airport illustrated unique challenges with direct applicability to Joint All Domain Command and Control and future Project Convergences.
By Barry RosenbergMilitary flight operations over the US will largely be business as usual — even though the Pentagon won’t understand the impact 5G interference could have on military aircraft until this summer at earliest.
By Valerie InsinnaThe experiments will include airborne radar systems and 5G technologies operating on mid-band spectrum.
By Andrew EversdenThe OSCAR effort is designed do develop AI/ML software that can detect spectrum interference and re-route users to open comms channels in near real time.

America’s best options to counter China’s telecom investment is to double down on space-based 5G, writes Gabe Arrington, a fellow at CNAS and MIT.
