“I have never in my life seen the cooperation between the agencies…the services…[and] across the Army” that’s happening in this fall’s wargames, Army space expert Willie Nelson told me.

How do you get targeting data from satellite to howitzer in less than 20 seconds, on a tactical network that was never designed to do that? You improvise, Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher told me.
SDA Director Derek Tournear, and his boss Mike Griffin, want to delay SDA's integration with Space Force until after 2023.
JADC2 is a way for the individual service C2 networks to "all have the same networking infrastructure to talk to one another," says SDA Director Derek Tournear.
The mobile TITAN satellite ground station is a critical node in Army plans for all-domain operations.
Tournear says SDA is involved with wider DoD efforts to develop capabilities for multi-domain operations. The sapce agency's planned satellites will serve as the "backbone" used by all the services to share targeting data.
Development of the ISR satellite terminal prototype is a foundational element of the Army's multi-domain operation plans.
