6 May 2020 -- Now as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) works to build a new Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system, the NRO is working to ensure that it’s data will be able to flow directly from its satellites and data processors to the warfighter.
The NRO acquires and operates U.S. reconnaissance satellites, collects, and disseminates vast amounts of signals and geospatial intelligence.
JADC2 is a new data architecture being pursued by U.S. Air Force and Space Force leaders that will connect sensors to shooters. Once in place, JADC2 will enable platforms from all services to receive, fuse, and incorporate data from several sensors from any domain for targeting and other operations.
