Inside C2Core®: Command and Control for the Modern Battlefield

Legacy tools and systems were not built for today’s operational pace. Modern command and control has to be. This is where C2Core® comes in. In this episode of Meet the Mission, we go inside C2Core®, a next‑generation command and control platform that is changing how the U.S. Air Force plans, executes, and adapts missions across domains. Host Candace Scarborough sits down with Robert Luster, C2 Core Air Product Manager, and Bob Sullivan, Director of C2 Systems, to talk through the following: * How C2Core® simplifies complex Air Operations Center workflows. * Details as to how strategy, mission planning, execution, and assessment come together in one unified system. * How C2Core® helps reduce operator workload. * Addresses the challenge of integrating legacy systems with modern ones to cut down on system sprawl and support faster, more informed decision‑making. * The future for the product and what to expect next from C2Core®.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
