Unlike its predecessor Joint All-Domain Command and Control, which focuses on synchronizing U.S. military capabilities across all domains, Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control expands this approach to incorporate international partners and allies, facilitating a unified global defense strategy.
The rapid evolution of CJADC2, with the contributions of industry, is a testament to the power of collaboration and continuous improvement. To learn more, we spoke with Ultra Intelligence & Communications, a company that has a proven history in international operations and is now deeply involved in the CJADC2 effort.
“CJADC2 significantly enhances mission effectiveness by not only integrating services across different military domains but also by fostering collaboration and interoperability among U.S. and Allied forces,” said Bradford Powell, president of command, control and intelligence at Ultra I&C.
Powell will be a speaker at Potomac Officers Club’s Achieving Transformative Cooperation for National Defense Forum on March 14th. This breakfast event at Falls Church, Virginia’s 2941 Restaurant will explore the future of the CJADC2 initiative, the technologies it requires and the importance of data-sharing to its success.

“While it involves leveraging existing technologies, its primary aim is to create a unified framework that facilitates seamless communication and coordinated action,” said Powell. “This goes beyond just connecting joint services; it’s about integrating an adaptable, multi-national defense network capable of responding swiftly to diverse global security challenges.”
The company’s expertise lies in creating a unified network that integrates tactical data links, enabling global sensor integration and information sharing for faster, more accurate decision-making. The U.S. Department of Defense recognizes the necessity of rapid and accurate information-sharing across joint forces and partners. Moreover, achieving interoperability of tactical data link systems within the JADC2 ecosystem is paramount to the success of CJADC2.
Ultra I&C’s role in CJADC2 development is characterized by its innovative approach to integrating complex systems and enhancing decision-making capabilities in multi-domain operational environments. The company’s specific proprietary technologies have reportedly led to successful integrations and overcome challenges in interoperability. These achievements underline the importance of not only technological advancement but also strategic foresight in maintaining global security and defense readiness, the company said.
