The U.S. Navy’s Project Overmatch has established a project arrangement with the Five Eyes, or FVEY, partners, which include the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
The agreement aims to strengthen joint operations, advance distributed maritime operations and enhance global security through collective innovation, the Navy said Thursday. It allows FVEY nations to integrate personnel into the Project Overmatch team to accelerate the development of interoperable technologies for improving maritime security.

Enabling Partnerships With Coalition Partners
Rear Adm. Seiko Okano, commander of the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command and direct reporting program manager for Project Overmatch, called the agreement a step forward in enabling partnerships across Navy programs, program executive offices, systems commands, joint services and coalition partners. “Together, we are working to deliver resilient communication tools and decision-making advantages to the hybrid fleet and warfare commanders,” she added.
Enhancing Fleet Warfighting Capabilities
Project Overmatch intends to equip a distributed hybrid force with reliable communications to enhance fleet warfighting capabilities and readiness. It aims to create a robust digital ecosystem for implementing mission-critical operations and helping commanders gain a decision-making advantage, and is the Navy’s contribution to the DOD-wide Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control effort.
The Navy is working with the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps and coalition partners to integrate Project Overmatch with the joint fires network. The effort is expected to ensure reliable command and control for autonomous operations and deliver resilient communications to support mission execution and contested logistics.
