U.S Navy and Marine Corps Test ‘Project Overmatch’

On July 25, Defense News reported, “The Navy and Marine Corps are poised to kick off the second iteration of Large-scale Exercise next month, bringing together more than 25,000 personnel through live and virtual training.”

—Adm. Daryl Caudle, head of U.S. Fleet Forces Command

Joint command and control: The large-scale exercise is also intended to test the networking capabilities of “Project Overmatch,” a secret networking project aimed at seamlessly connecting people, ships and sensors. Ultimately, the goal is to connect the entire Department of Defense with an “Internet of Military Things” that is shared with allies and partners.
