CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AFNS) — More than 4,000 service members and civilians from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force, as well as members from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, and Japan, participated in Project Convergence Capstone Four at Camp Pendleton and Fort Irwin in February and March.
The U.S. Department of the Air Force’s role in the Army-led experiment was to provide a multiservice synchronized air picture, enabling decision-making up and down the echelon and across the joint force with mission partners and allies.
“The Air Force is using several TOC-Ls, or Tactical Operations Center-Light, a mobile and tactical C2 battle management system, bringing hundreds of data feeds together to create an air picture,” said Brig. Gen. Luke Cropsey, Department of the Air Force Integrating Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management. “This provides information across command-and-control nodes, ultimately allowing us to make decisions faster than the pacing challenge.”
