JADC2 Implementation Act

This bill establishes specific roles within the Department of Defense to advance Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) capabilities, directly affecting DoD offices and combatant commands (prioritizing the Indo-Pacific Command). It assigns the Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Mission Capabilities to identify new technologies and run experiments, the Executive Director for Acquisition to manage cross-system integration, and the Chief Digital and AI Officer to develop software for battlefield data sharing and targeting. Key mechanisms include requiring regular congressional briefings (every 180 days until 2026) and mandating a 2024 report detailing plans to deploy a joint data integration layer in the Indo-Pacific Command and scale it across other combatant commands. The bill focuses on streamlining internal DoD processes for faster development and fielding of JADC2 systems, without creating new agencies or altering public programs.
