AUGUSTA, Ga. — The baseline AI layer for the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) architecture is being built by the software and technology firm Striveworks, Army officials told Breaking Defense on Tuesday.
The news comes as the service prepares to roll out NGC2 at the corps-level next year with a focus on Pacific operations.
“There’s going to be a lot of software data, the volume of all of that being processed at the corps level is going to be greater,” Joseph Welch, portfolio acquisition executive for command and control and counter-command and control, said in an interview here at the TechNet Augusta conference.
“When we talk about the AI tools that we’re going to be bringing in to help support that, it’s going to become more important,” he added. “We’re making progress in that area.”
