Please explain the purpose of operation:
(U) The DoD Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) DyNAMO Program culminates as a field experiment in the September through March 2021 time frame. (U) The DyNAMO technology has the ability to support Digital Interoperability (DI) across multiple tactical data links (e.g., TTNT, CDL, L16) with providing the right information at the right time. In addition, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) Plans, Policies and Operations (PP&O) Department (LtGen Beaudrault) signed a TRACA Universal Need Statement (UNS requirements document) in June 2019 that listed DyNAMO interoperability needs in this document. This UNS document referenced DyNAMO capabilities that were also previously listed as a POM-22 gap that identifies the need for Integration of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control (C2) Systems across Naval and Joint C2 needs.
