In the era of Great Power Competition, dismantling an adversaries’ Command and Control (C2) architecture is the foundational prerequisite for operational success. The "Counter-C2 Fight" requires a paradigm shift from siloed capabilities and operational planning to deep, multi-domain convergence. This panel explores the critical nexus of the Network, Intelligence, Precision Fires, and rapid Acquisitions, orchestrated through the lens of Counter-C2. Our senior leaders will dissect the complexities of achieving decision dominance in degraded, disconnected, and denied environments. The discussion will highlight how the Intelligence community’s deep sensing capabilities feed directly into the lethal geometry of the Fires community, while the data-centric of NGC2 provides the connective tissue rapidly synchronize effects to isolate adversary decision-makers. Furthermore, the panel will address the materiel and acquisition realities of this integration. The Acquisitions community must deliver modular, interoperable systems that shrink the sensor-to-shooter timeline from minutes to seconds. Attendees will leave with a strategic understanding of how the Army is actively synchronizing kinetic and non-kinetic effects to paralyze enemy C2 networks and guarantee overmatch.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
•Analyze the foundational requirements for dismantling an adversary's Command and Control (C2) architecture within the context of Great Power Competition.
•Evaluate the integration of Intelligence deep sensing capabilities with the Precision Fires community to achieve decision dominance in degraded, disconnected, and denied environments.
•Explain how the data-centric framework of Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) synchronizes multi-domain effects to isolate adversary decision-makers.
•Assess the materiel and acquisition strategies required to deliver modular, interoperable systems that significantly reduce the sensor-to-shooter timeline.
•Formulate strategies for synchronizing kinetic and non-kinetic effects to paralyze enemy C2 networks and guarantee operational overmatch.
