... Evaluate the planned ABMS data and communication architecture and compare the architecture anticipated performance characteristics needed to support real-time fire control and all-domain sensor-to-shooter data flow, command and control (C2) activities, artificial intelligence (AI)
From page 2...
... As such, the committee's analyses reflect the approach, benefits, challenges, and opportu nities of that early architecture and constitute insights and recommendations for the CAO, RCO, DAF, and broader DoD elements to consider, as they pursue the updated ABMS architecture, the individual acquisition programs within it, and the larger JADC2 framework. The DAF RCO is already addressing some of these issues under the direction of the new Secretary of the Air Force in their evolving plans and designs for ABMS, but others (especially the non-technical elements)
From page 3...
... The committee found that the current ABMS, and the broader JADC2 governance structure, is insufficient and lacks proper authority to execute C2 across all domains. The absence of a DoD-level executive agent to address and resolve technical, operational, and command decisions for all contributors to the JADC2 framework leads to each Service and DoD agency developing its own C2 system, with unique requirements, standards, and technical specifications that challenge the achievement for interoperability.

... . • To the maximum extent possible, design and execute a comprehensive ar tificial intelligence strategy that would encompass all elements, to include doctrine, chain of command, policy, authorization for weapon release in a joint environment, interfaces to Joint All-Domain Command and Control, and not just select capabilities of the Advanced Battle Management System (Recommendation 6)
From page 5...
... Based on these red team exercises, the Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office should address vulnerabilities by bolstering and enhancing cyber defenses accordingly (Recommendation 15)
From page 6...
... . • Reach immediate agreement on a common data fabric and security levels of the data with data standards and tools defined at the Joint level.

... Summary 7 The Air Education Training Command recommendation: • Establish a curriculum that would train or recruit highly qualified experts in artificial intelligence/machine learning, model-based systems engineering, cybersecurity, intelligence assessment, and test and evaluation for infor mation technology, software, and hardware who can work with experts in military operations and culture (Recommendation 25)
