Modern Army and Joint C2 (Command and Control) including Next Generation C2 (NGC2) and CJADC2 initiatives - relies on networked IT, communications, and data systems that are prime targets in contested environments. Counter-C2 involves disrupting adversary command nodes through cyber means (e.g., offensive operations, red teaming against C2 frameworks). ATA’s expertise directly supports both: defensive training to secure friendly C2 systems and offensive/purple team skills to enable Counter-C2 effects.
- The human element in C2/Counter-C2 success: Why certifications alone aren’t enough - immersive, scenario-based training is essential.
- Cyber ranges as force multipliers: Real-world examples of mission rehearsal for C2 protection and offensive Counter-C2 in multidomain operations.
- Workforce development for the Joint Force: How ATA-style training accelerates DoD 8140 compliance, veteran transition, and readiness for contested electromagnetic/cyber environments.
- Future outlook: Integrating AI into cyber training for faster C2 decision-making and adaptive Counter-C2.
