Harnessing Advanced Technologies for Swarm Operations within CJADC2

Understanding the impact of swarm dynamics on land defenses means evaluating the complex behaviors exhibited by groups of autonomous or semi-autonomous entities, which require significant synchronization and coordination toward a common objective. Effectively addressing the challenges to ground vehicles while exploiting the opportunities presented by swarm operations requires a holistic understanding of swarm dynamics and the integration of advanced technologies and adaptive command and control systems within the CJADC2 framework. This paper explores the pivotal role of specific technologies— AI, TSN, Sensor Fusion, Autonomous Systems, and Cybersecurity — and MOSA-based open standards in enabling effective swarm operations within CJADC2 to detect, analyze, and respond to swarm threats in real-time across diverse platforms and domains and ensure compatibility with existing command and control infrastructure.
