Deployable Joint Command and Control System (DJC2) is a United States Department of Defense computer system comprising various computer and other technological components which allow a commander to exercise command over a task force from any given location, be it a ground base or a naval ship.[1]

The system was sponsored by the DJC2 Joint Program Office, with the Georgia Tech Research Institute designing the system's information technology infrastructure.[2][3] The project was funded by the C4I Munitions Test and Improvement Contract (CIMTIC II) contract, in which GTRI is a prime contractor.[4][5]

The system has been fielded during the responses to 2005's Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[1][4][6]
