Project Convergence - Bryant McGill

# Project Convergence **Entity class:** Program, project, platform, or system **Collections:** [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] ## Definition **Project Convergence** is the U.S. Army's recurring campaign of experimentation for connecting sensors, networks, data, command systems, joint and multinational partners, and effectors across domains. It is the Army's principal service contribution to [[wiki/CJADC2|CJADC2]], not an independent national master system. At [[wiki/Fort Bliss|Fort Bliss]], [[wiki/Joint Modernization Command|Joint Modernization Command]] conducts Project Convergence experimentation in a large physical maneuver and aviation environment. The [[wiki/Project Convergence Mission Partner Environment|Mission Partner Environment]] supports multinational connectivity, while data and cloud technologies move toward tactical command. [[wiki/One World Terrain|One World Terrain]] is among the associated capabilities. ## Science-and-technology demonstration role Project Convergence is also a premier Army deployment environment for testing the [[wiki/Sensor-to-Shooter Loop|sensor-to-shooter loop]] under operationally representative conditions. Exercises connect space, air, and ground sensing; [[wiki/Multi-Sensor Fusion|multi-sensor fusion]]; network transport; AI-assisted classification; command decisions; and effects. The purpose is not merely to display components but to measure whether independently developed systems can exchange usable data quickly enough to shorten the commander's decision cycle. This makes the event a documentation-rich junction among Army experimentation, joint and multinational interoperability, defense-prime integration, [[wiki/Edge Computing|edge computing]], and [[wiki/CJADC2|CJADC2]]. Corporate claims about exact latency reduction or target-acquisition performance remain vendor- and edition-specific; the established Army-level proposition is that Project Convergence experiments with integrated data flow from sensors to shooters, sustainers, and decision-makers. ## Infrastructure Stack Project Convergence is where the layers become operationally visible: tactical sensors and formations produce data; service networks and [[wiki/Department of Defense Information Network|DoDIN]] transport it; [[wiki/Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability|JWCC]] can supply cloud and edge compute; [[wiki/Open DAGIR|Open DAGIR]] and the [[wiki/War Data Platform|War Data Platform]] provide data and application integration; and command applications present information for decisions. The experiment is therefore a proving ground for pieces of CJADC2 rather than CJADC2 itself. ## Relationships  This entry is routed through [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]] and [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]].
