Future Support to USJFCOM and Way Ahead

APL is dedicated to assisting USJFCOM in the expansion of their roles and missions, such as Joint Command and Control Capability Portfolio Management (JC2 CPM). Issues such as JC2 Data Strategy/Standards and net-centricity are well suited to the Laboratory's capabilities. APL future support includes:   

• Expand APL’s role as trusted technical partner to USJFCOM in thought leadership, systems engineering, prototype development, design and execution of experimentation, and distributed simulation.
• Support USJFCOM through collaboration and horizontal integration of concepts and capabilities based on work with other Department of Defense sponsors (e.g., U.S. Strategic Command [USSTRATCOM], Assistant Secretary of Defense Networks and Information Integration [ASD-NII], etc.) 
• Leverage APL's experience in teaming with other laboratories (e.g., Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs], University Affiliated Research Centers [UARCs], defense laboratories, and industry) to support USJFCOM requirements and critical challenges.
