Our ability to command and control in contested environments is at risk. As a stand-in force, our ability to aggregate, orchestrate, analyze and share fused data at the speed and scale of relevance is a warfighting imperative. A central challenge we face is developing and sustaining resilient, end-to-end, joint long-range dynamic targeting capabilities that enable Marines to act as the forward element of the Joint Force—sensing, making sense, and communicating weapons quality data at machine speeds.
Project Dynamis is a bold service-level plan to accelerate the modernization of Marine Corps contributions to combined joint all-domain command and control (CJADC2) in partnership with the Department of the Navy Project Overmatch.
Accelerate fielding of “fight tonight” capabilities and drive holistic modernization of the USMC command, control, communication, and computers (C4) portfolio.
Adopt a joint resilient common data fabric
Adopt a joint decentralized mesh networking capability
Lead the service-level effort to develop edge node prototypes
Integrate robotic and autonomous system C2 capabilities
Accelerate advanced AI-enabled battle management C2 capabilities that enable steady-state all domain awareness to win the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance competition, support dynamic long-range targeting at scale, and rapidly respond to global crises.
Operationalize fixed sites and fire centers at echelon
Serve as the service lead for kill webs
Accelerate deployment of advanced technologies that enable operations by countering adversary C2, battlespace awareness, and targeting in all domains, leveraging software-defined capabilities and AI at the edge that adapts in hours, not years.
Operationalize tactical cyber and electromagnetic spectrum operations from the sea-floor to space
Deploy spoofing, jamming and Signature Management
Baseline Mission Engineering
Accelerate Fielding of Minimum Viable Products C2 Edge Nodes
Accelerate AI-Enabled Battle Management Command & Control
Accelerate Joint Fires Network Fielding
Accelerate Fielding of Advanced Kill Web Enabling Capabilities
Accelerate Fielding of Robotic and Autonomous C2 Capabilties
Leverage FMF “sand box” hubs in collaboration with the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, and the Naval Research and Development Establishment to rapidly field advanced CJADC2 capabilities within the POM and beyond.
The Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Christopher J. Mahoney, signed a memorandum Sept. 10 to formally establish Project Dynamis, an initiative to accelerate the modernization of Marine Corps contributions to Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) in partnership with the Department of the Navy’s Project Overmatch.
