Project Overmatch is being tested with the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group off the California coast. The project is part of the Pentagon’s multi-billion-dollar Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) effort, which is intended to establish seamless communication and give warships better awareness of adversaries at sea.
The details of Project Overmatch are closely guarded secrets, but it’s reportedly centered around a system that would allow the Navy to push software updates among units and share critical information in real time. The Navy eventually plans to install the required hardware and software on all 11 carrier strike groups, Defense News reports.
“Basically,” a senior defense official said in the China Military Power Report, “it’s a way that they’re thinking about looking across domains to identify vulnerabilities in an adversary’s operational system and then to exploit those to cause its collapse.”
