American warfighters equipped with the latest technology increasingly find themselves grappling with an endless sea of information \u2014 so much so that the U.S. military needs new tools to cut through and make sense of the data overload.<\/p>\n

Capt. Randy Cruz, the commander of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, told an auditorium full of defense industry leadership last week that the lab he commands needs partners to help the military achieve what he called \u201cdecision superiority.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments came during the IndoPac 2026 | Naval Dominance: Shipbuilding, Autonomy & C2 forum hosted by The Washington Times\u2019 Threat Status national security team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capt. Cruz highlighted how the military is \u201cnow becoming inundated with information,\u201d during a panel focused on command and control. Command and control is the military\u2019s description of how to use communication and planning to ensure the military is able to accomplish its mission.<\/p>\n

Hurdles for development often involve both cognitive and technical challenges as systems designed to bridge communications gaps meet the reality of service members needing to operate them.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon\u2019s upcoming funding request to Congress includes $19 billion for command and control to both develop new technologies and support current military systems, according to Obviant, a Virginia-based firm that uses data analysis and artificial intelligence to track military spending.<\/p>\n

The new developments have quickly changed the landscape for service members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I go back to my earlier command-and-control days, I think of that kid with a stick and a knapsack on the back. That was command-and-control going camping,\u201d Capt. Cruz said. \u201cToday it\u2019s that SUV with stuff hanging off the rafters. That\u2019s command and control today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Streamlining the methods of processing all of the information available into a usable picture is something he welcomed the crowd to engage with the laboratory on, saying that patents and licenses for cutting-edge technology are \u201cavailable for industry right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

That kind of collaboration is now baked into how the lab operates, he said. \u201cThe days are long gone where it\u2019s just the government only.\u201d<\/p>\n

A goal of the U.S. Navy\u2019s development is to have a web of communication across the service that allows all information to be shared quickly and easily between sensors (equipment meant to collect intelligence and find an enemy) and effectors (the equipment able to actually fight back in some way).<\/p>\n

But, the vast amounts of information that new technology makes available presents a problem. While it helps show service members the reality on the ground, it often makes decisions more difficult and pushes against the cognitive load a leader can take on.<\/p>\n

\u201cInformation is only good in two cases, right? Its content and its timeliness,\u201d Capt. Cruz said. \u201cThe resilience and low latency to maintain or gain that decision superiority \u2026 that\u2019s where the fight\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that while the challenge of large distances in the Pacific can be difficult for communications, being able to make decisions quickly and effectively is much more important.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do I master and gain that decision superiority? That\u2019s the key,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Capt. Cruz said the laboratory is working on the data challenges the U.S. Navy is encountering but needs to continue to involve its solutions in real-world testing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got the Naval Center for Applied Research for AI, and they\u2019ve been around since the early 80s, and they\u2019ve been developing things like SAGE, the Sentry Agentic Framework,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He described it as an AI environment, where systems can \u201dkind of talk to each other\u201d to help bring together all the different types of information into a command-and-control system and make it manageable for a service member to use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re realizing that there\u2019s all this information and the challenge is\u2026 although we develop these fixes, is getting the opportunity \u2014 and we do get the opportunity when we have these exercises \u2014 to exercise and see how they work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
