"US Army soldiers at Fort Carson have been experimenting with a new command and control system that promises to fuse weapons, surveillance drones, and AI into a networked war machine. The Next Generation Command and Control system, NGC2, is intended as a substantial upgrade over the current system and is all about readying the Army for a challenging potential future fight against a technologically sophisticated enemy."
"Last week, the Army wrapped its second Ivy Sting exercise testing and expanding how soldiers use the new NGC2. While the first round was focused on the basics, the latest event was notably more complicated. "Now, we've increased the complexity," Maj. Gen. Patrick Ellis, the commanding general of the Army's 4th Infantry Division, told reporters during a media roundtable. Testing saw the Army connect multiple artillery pieces to more data sources."
US Army soldiers at Fort Carson are testing the Next Generation Command and Control system (NGC2) to integrate weapons, surveillance drones, and artificial intelligence into a networked battlefield system. The second Ivy Sting exercise increased complexity by linking multiple artillery pieces to expanded data sources and operational tools. NGC2 aims to replace inconsistent, standalone legacy mission command systems that lack mobility, intuitiveness, and survivability and to standardize command and control across the service for large-scale combat operations against near-peer adversaries. Future training will add opposing force teams, electronic warfare scenarios, and further technology integration.
