At the Modern Day Marine 2023 conference, two specialists from the Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) expressed their need for a technology that could consolidate the overwhelming influx of data into one integrated system. The MARSOC commander, Maj. Gen. Matthew Trollinger, also acknowledged the demand for such a solution to lessen the cognitive load in handling a data-rich environment.
  

Key Points: 

1. The MARSOC specialists emphasized the operational challenges caused by having to work with numerous one-dimensional technologies, which lack effective communication with one another.
2. The specialists advocated for a single graphical user interface (GUI) that would display all data at once, making it easier to manage and interpret various streams of information.
3. Beyond being inconvenient, the physical logistics of handling multiple pieces of equipment impede quick and efficient movement, adding to the operational difficulties.
4. The Pentagon’s Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) effort also aims to consolidate data from different sensors in a user-friendly manner for commanders, reflecting the same need as voiced by the MARSOC specialists.
5. While the first two specialists desired an integrated data system, a third MARSOC member focused on the need for more deployable, secure communications, especially in stealthy operations on the electromagnetic spectrum.
