Enabling Next Generation Military Technology Series First Edition: ICAM

As the United States armed services and national security apparatus in general pursue network modernization, the need to update identity, credential and access management (ICAM) has emerged as a major requirement. Projects such as the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) require a federated approach to ICAM. Each service will have its own JADC2 iteration, yet the systems must all interoperate. Also making ICAM critical is how many non-human entities – for example, satellite feeds, weapons platforms, and sensors – will also need access JDC2 and enterprise networks like it.
