🌟 Integration and Interoperability: Real-Life Impact During the Pandemic 🌟 During the pandemic, Rhode Island's tech team, in collaboration with epidemiologists, the governor's office, and the US military, deployed an end-to-end solution for information exchange. This included: • 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 (𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐒𝐒) • 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 (𝐑𝐂𝐒 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞) • 𝟒𝟎𝟏𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩  • 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 (𝐀𝐖𝐒)  • 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐈𝐑 / 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬𝐍𝐞𝐭 (𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦)  • 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐨𝐝 (𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦) By using standard frameworks like HL7 and FHIR, we ensured seamless data exchange and interoperability. This integration, coupled with a robust system inventory, allowed us to achieve this within an accelerated timeline thanks to a high-performing team. The team leveraged standards and effective collaboration to create intelligent, efficient ecosystems under challenging circumstances.

When the DOD released its Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, implementation plan in March 2022, the vision for the modernization effort was crystallizing around promising technologies and products. Now, there is a push to speed up the effort, focusing on a plan to reach initial operational capability, prioritizing enhanced capabilities across the Indo-Pacific region.   We’re getting closer! And Fuse is doing its part to advance joint force communications capabilities, with increased production of our products this year.   Nextgov/FCW has more on the JADC2 acceleration efforts: https://lnkd.in/eatmsc3n   #JADC2 #DefenseTech #DefenseInnovation #DefenseIndustry #Modernization

"Glad GIDE is addressing this longstanding pain point in earnest. We have to get beyond sending PowerPoints and data files to allies via email on bespoke networks. We can't create discrete shared drives with every ally. Secure solutions already exist for situational awareness and data sharing on DOD-authorized COTS solutions." - Norm Litterini, VP, Public Sector Channels and Partnerships #Bluescape #GovTech #MissionPartnerEnvironments https://ow.ly/2XqJ50SURkm

Last month, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks announced that the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office had delivered its initial version of their Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) capability to the United States Department of Defense. This initial version combines software applications, data integration, and cross-domain operational concepts to provide decision advantage to warfighters. Much like our Joint Project Lead for CBRN Integration capabilities, CJADC2 aims to build a more modernized and digitally transformed U.S. military.

ETI is excited to share the release of a new paper, "Integrated by Mission—Federated for Execution," which was done in collaboration with Bryan Clark and Dan Patt from the Hudson Institute's Center for Defense Concepts & Technology. The paper argues, "by emphasizing communications rather than integration, CJADC2 also fails to address one of the DoD’s main limitations in its efforts to gain a decision advantage against China—the domain- and service-centric nature of deployed US force packages." Instead, the authors propose the realization of CJADC2’s goal of decision-making advantage by co-evolving its technical and C2 elements through operational experimentation. This paper presents six principles of an approach that would improve the DoD’s ability to integrate joint forces rather than simply connecting their networks: - The DoD could achieve joint integration more quickly by prioritizing requirements for federated integration over universal standards. - Interoperability will require the DoD to have a continued emphasis on a data-centric approach over a network-centric one. - Preserving adaptability through modular approaches and delegating key decisions and activities to the field would give military forces decision-making advantages over opponents. - The DoD would benefit from “on-demand interoperability” via continuous integration and delivery pipelines or tools that allow systems with varying data formats and interfaces to exchange information. - The DoD should organize integration efforts around shared mission problem statements, like specific kill chains, rather than broad technological interoperability. - DoD organizational and cultural challenges are greater obstacles to advancing interoperability than technical and materiel limitations are.

🚀 While the technological hurdles of achieving Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) are well-documented, a quieter yet formidable challenge lurks: government bureaucracy. Breaking Defense recently highlighted this issue, with insights from Daniel Holtzman, CIO at the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office of the DOD.
