CJADC2 is all about modern command and control . It ' s crucial in times of crises and conflicts , where quick decision - making is needed . The experiments in PCC4 and GIDE are helping to improve the speed and effectiveness of U . S . and coalition forces in analyzing the battlefield and conducting command and control operations . CJADC2 is essential to keep up with the vast amount of data and complexity in modern warfare . It enables the Joint Force to quickly sense , understand , and act on information across the battlespace , using automation , artificial intelligence , predictive analytics , and machine learning . Project Convergence , hosted by the U . S . Army , is a joint experiment involving multiple nations . It aims to provide insights for acquisition and force structure decisions . The capstone event focuses on testing emerging technologies across the U . S . military services , along with the armed forces of the United Kingdom and Australia , to assess interoperability and potential contributions to future operations . GIDE , on the other hand , is an experiment conducted by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office ( CDAO ) every quarter . This is the first time it is being run alongside a Service - led experiment . Pentagon Spokesman Eric Pahon gave an update , saying that Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks recently visited Camp Pendleton and Fort Irwin in California . She was there to connect with senior Army leaders involved in Project Convergence Capstone 4 ( PCC4 ) and the Global Information Dominance Experimentation ( GIDE ) series . The purpose was to discuss new technologies , concepts , and approaches that can help improve the Army and the broader Department of Defense . During her visit to Camp Pendleton , Deputy Secretary Hicks also had the opportunity to meet with service members to better understand their experiences and challenges in military service . In recent years , the department has been committed to finding ways to better support our service members and their families . During her time at both locations , Deputy Secretary Hicks observed the Combined Joint All - Domain Command and Control ( CJADC2 ) in action through PCC4 and GIDE events . This was to gain a better understanding of the challenges faced when implementing CJADC2 across different military branches .

Secretary of Defense Austin and Deputy Secretary Hicks are doing their thing to tackle important stuff like making sure our troops and their families have what they need , making moves less of a hassle , and giving even more support to families .
