U.S. Army Warns of Major Security Flaws in Next-Gen Combat System NGC2
The U.S. Army has revealed significant security concerns regarding Project NGC2, a cutting-edge combat system designed to connect soldiers, sensors, vehicles, and command centres in real-time. Gabrielle Chiulli, the Army's Chief Technology Officer, flagged these issues in a September memo.
The memo, obtained by a news outlet, states that the Army cannot guarantee who can access what information, monitor user activities, or verify the software's security within the Project NGC2. This revelation comes despite the system's intended purpose of enhancing situational awareness and communication on the battlefield.
Project NGC2, a state-of-the-art platform, aims to network various military assets in real-time. However, the Army's inability to control access, track activities, and ensure software security raises serious concerns about its operational security and reliability.
The U.S. Army is currently investigating the security vulnerabilities in Project NGC2. The findings from this investigation will likely shape the future of the programme and potentially impact other military technologies.
