MODERNIZATION AND ENTERPRISE COLLABORATION
“We’ve got to be able to move data machine to machine very, very quickly. That is the secret if you want to get to speed, range and convergence.”
(CPCE) version the Army is currently fielding with Capability Set 21, Capability Set 23 is considered the data fabric benchmark. It will expand capabilities to deliver basic analytics, initial edge cloud capability, new API interfaces and management of struc- tured, semi-structured and unstructured data. In Capability Set 25, the data fabric, as part of CPCE, will introduce advanced analytics using AI and machine learning, a full-edge cloud capa- bility and significantly increased capacity.
CONCLUSION Data is a force multiplier when it can be found, made available and secured. As the Army moves toward a multidomain operations approach to warfighting—with a larger scale and a compressed timeline for leaders to understand, decide and act—the require- ment to process more data, and faster, intensifies. Implementing data fabric will better equip commanders and Soldiers to access, aggregate, share and secure mission-critical data against near- peer threats. It will improve human-machine teaming, including through AI, to enhance decision-making and speed reaction time.
Data sharing also must be optimized with joint and coalition part- ners. Under the JADC2 initiative, the services are modernizing command-and-control technologies and procedures to process information, make decisions and direct actions of the joint force across all warfighting domains faster than our adversaries. As one aspect of JADC2 implementation, the JADC2 CFT is federat- ing, or connecting, data fabric solutions across the Army, Navy, Air Force and other joint force elements to ensure interoperabil- ity. Tis “fabric of fabrics” effort will also include a clearly defined and documented API framework and standards, with the neces- sary security and governance to evolve data architectures over time as technology advances.
For all of the technical complexities and incremental steps, the end goal of data fabric is simple: Give warfighters what they need to make better decisions. By getting the right data to the right
people at the right time and place—at the speed of relevance— the Army and joint force will gain an edge to prevail in the future fight.
