Abstract:

This work is sponsored by Headquarters Air Force and conducted within the Workforce, Development, and Health Program of RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF) as part of a fiscal year 2021 project, "Assessment of Joint All-Domain Command and Control Requirements and the Use of Live, Virtual, and Constructive Capabilities for Training." This Perspective was developed as part of a study exploring how the Operational Training Infrastructure environment and live, virtual, and constructive simulation-assisted training systems can help the USAF develop and execute JADC2. The study focuses on training air operations center personnel. As the project progresses, it has become clear that due to its early stage of development, JADC2 and some other foundational concepts might be unclear to many interlocutors. Therefore, a baseline is needed for common concepts and terminology that can help move the discussion forward. The authors attempt to bring various JADC2 users into the discussion as early as possible, and thus help align JADC2 capabilities with users' needs and concerns.
