Knowing that integrating joint fires is essential to the Army’s role in Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), Booz Allen has been accelerating enabling technologies such as data interoperability and mobility. At Project Convergence Capstone 4 (PC-C4), tactical command and control (C2) took a step forward with the success of Booz Allen’s C2-Hub prototype powered by the Modular Detachment Kit (MDK).
The PC-C4 test continued Booz Allen’s partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD) that began with the first MDK prototype demonstrated at Project Convergence 2022. Coordinated development has enabled a steady evolution of capabilities as the team incorporates the latest technologies to meet or exceed mission requirements.
PC-C4, an Army-hosted event in March 2024, was the culmination of many joint exercises and experiments. The event focused on two phases: first, joint integrated offensive and defensive fires; and second, rapid sharing and sending of data from XVIII Airborne Corps at Camp Pendleton to III Corps at Fort Irwin.
Booz Allen was initially invited to participate in phase one. There, the C2-Hub prototype delivered a strong performance, resulting in an invitation to participate in PC-C4’s phase two as well. For each phase, the solution successfully provided joint service connectivity, proving itself capable of connecting Air Force, Navy, Army-Marine Corps, and allied C2 systems in real time.
