US Air Force tests new tech to counter simulated cruise missile attack

Earlier this month, the United States Air Force tested new technology as part of a real-time mission to defeat a cruise missile threat — a simulated one, that is. The exercise took place across three full days and involved the USAF’s Advanced Battle Management System, which was tested as part of a larger concept called Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). The USAF described JADC2 as a concept that instantly receives and acts upon ‘vast’ data sets from land, sea, air, cyber and space with support for all branches of the military.
