The US Marine Corps is evaluating Ditto’s resilient data synchronization platform to support Project Dynamis, enabling reliable data sharing across contested environments while strengthening Assured Command and Control capabilities.
The US Marine Corps Project Dynamis team will evaluate the Ditto platform as a critical enabler of the Assured Command and Control pillar.
As joint forces increasingly operate across contested, multi-domain environments without a guaranteed communications backbone, maintaining a reliable Common Operational Picture at the tactical edge has become one of the most persistent challenges in modern warfighting.
The Ditto platform will serve as a data conduit within the Dynamis team’s Sensitive But Unclassified–Encrypted (SBU-E) framework, connecting sensors, platforms and networks across the joint force. Operating over Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, MANET radios or other IP transports, Ditto’s platform enables devices to form self-healing mesh networks and synchronize mission-critical data without dependence on central servers or similar infrastructure.
“The ability to aggregate and share fused data at machine speed is central to the Dynamis warfighting vision. Ditto’s selection for the Assured Command and Control pillar reflects that imperative, providing the resilient data foundation that keeps warfighters able to sense, make sense and act even when communications are contested or constrained,” said Eric Hanft, Head of Public Sector, Ditto.
Ditto’s partnership with Project Dynamis also reflects a broader shift in federal acquisition policy. Executive Order 14271, signed in April 2025, directs federal agencies to procure commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) products to the maximum extent practicable, prioritising platforms proven at commercial scale over purpose-built defence alternatives.
“The US. Marine Corps has a long history of battlefield ingenuity and we are excited to contribute to that lineage. The Ditto platform that delivers data resilience across commercial deployments at scale is a true COTS solution, not a defence-native platform retrofitted with a commercial label, and is now proving itself as trusted infrastructure for our nation’s expeditionary fighting force,” said Adam Fish, CEO and Co-Founder, Ditto.
Project Dynamis is the US Marine Corps’ initiative to modernise its contributions to the US Department of War’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) construct, developed in partnership with the Department of the Navy’s Project Overmatch.
Focused on delivering AI-powered decision advantage at speed and scale, the programme is built around three objectives: fielding “fight tonight” capabilities and modernising the USMC Command, Control, Communications and Computers (C4) portfolio; advancing AI-enabled command and control (C2) for superior battlespace awareness and targeting; and deploying software-defined technologies that counter adversary C2 at the tactical edge.
“One of the greatest strengths of Project Dynamis is in its methodology. For the last several months we’ve been in a continuous cycle of designing, testing and refining warfighting solutions – Marines and industry engineers side-by-side – so we can find best-of-breed solutions and get them into the hands of our Marines,” said Colonel Arlon Smith, Director, Project Dynamis.
