The 2022 Army Data Plan (ADP) is an Army-wide approach toward improving data management to ensure the Army becomes a data-centric organization. The plan represents a three-year effort that will improve data management, data governance, and data analytics across the Army — focusing first and foremost on the warfighting mission area. The ADP seeks to drive the necessary changes required to give the warfighter an advantage by ensuring their data is managed and used properly. The Army has already started prototyping data management capabilities, tools, and models to move toward this outcome.
The Army of 2030 will be fueled by data and data analytics. Soldiers will need the right data, at the right time, and at the right place to enable faster and better decisions at each echelon – to out-think and out-pace any adversary. Each domain has its own information and data flow, some information from open-source intelligence, some from space-based sensors, and some from cyberspace. Today’s soldiers and commanders require synthesis across domains to dominate the battlespace.
