Innovating loose couplers to support JADC2

The key challenge of any battle network is to develop the right processing architecture to synthesize sensor data and provide actionable intelligence. To embrace innovation and to meet our national security needs, we need loosely coupled systems or standards in place to support JADC2 and ensure a common “meeting point”, increasing the value of the overall multi-function system while keeping a close eye on performance, costs and schedules.
