- Summary:
- Rapidly and efficiently sharing information across networks, platforms, systems, and security classifications and with mission partners is vital to enabling all-domain awareness and executing nonkinetic and kinetic warfighting operations. Accelerating change toward a digital backbone that allows for seamless information-sharing is limited not just by technology but also by nonmateriel issues, such as culture and policy. These impediments to progress are preventing the Department of the Air Force from realizing Joint All-Domain Command and Control/Advanced Battle Management System and sensing-grid goals. Technical solutions and capabilities are only one piece of a very complex equation. In this summary report, the authors highlight information-sharing challenges and explore near-term and nonmateriel courses of action (COAs) that the U.S. Air Force could take to better prepare the force for information-sharing at speed and at scale in the European theater. Given that the rules governing information-sharing will change quickly before and during a transition to war, the authors examined how U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) can rapidly adapt to such changes.
