Our Mission

DAF PEO C3BM's mission is to deliver an integrated DAF BATTLE NETWORK, the systems-of-systems that provides resilient decision advantage. 
 
The PEO is the integrating entity for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management within the department, aligning technical architecture and acquisition authorities to execute its efforts to streamline the delivery of decision advantage capabilities. 
 
The organization has the architectural authorities to direct technical integration activities across the DAF, while also having the acquisition authorities of a PEO to execute organic materiel solutions to field a survivable, distributable command and control capability into an integrated DAF BATTLE NETWORK.


What is the DAF BATTLE NETWORK?

The DAF BATTLE NETWORK is the integrated system-of-systems connecting sensor, effector, and logistics systems providing better situational awareness, faster operational decisions, and decisive direction to the force. 

It integrates roughly 50 programs of record across the department, ensuring resilient decision and information advantage needed by the Air Force, Space Force, Joint, and Coalition forces to win against the pacing challenge.  

It is the DAF’s contribution to Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).
