Abstract:

As part of the CAF JADC2 AUAR project, this paper examines the need for Joint All-Domain Command and Control systems, specifically the developmental Advanced Battle Management System to consider distributed operations with delegated authorities as a highly likely scenario. It argues that instead of only focusing on the requirements of high-level decisionmakers and traditional command and control elements, ABMS should be built with unit-level uses in mind. It presents the roles and responsibilities of Air Force unit level intelligence as one use case to illustrate this point for development across the joint force.
