Background -- Air Force is continuing to develop details needed to implement ABMS -- DOD is in early stages of defining JADC2 and identifying related challenges -- Agency comments -- Appendices.
Summary
DOD military commanders require a real-time, complete picture of the battlespace to quickly make informed decisions. Historically, DOD has prioritized individual systems over joint capabilities and interoperability. DOD intends for JADC2 to address this issue by connecting warfighting capabilities through digital networks to enable commanders to effectively communicate and share information. Each military department is contributing to JADC2; the Air Force's part is called ABMS. This report addresses the extent to which (1) DOD has defined JADC2, and (2) the Air Force has developed plans for ABMS. In April 2020, GAO recommended the Air Force develop a plan to mature technologies, develop a cost estimate, and conduct an affordability analysis for ABMS. DOD concurred. The Air Force is taking steps to address the recommendations--through acquisition and planning documents--but needs to do more to fully address them.
