Interoperability: DOD's Efforts to Achieve Interoperability Among C3 Systems

Abstract

In your letter of February 19, 1986, you asked us to evaluates: the extent to which communications interoperability problems have been identified during exercises and past operations; the impediments preventing interoperability and how much they can be overcome; and the prognosis for the newly created Joint Tactical Command, Control, and Communications (C3) Agency to achieve significantly greater interoperability among the military services. We discussed these issues at hearings on August 14, 1986, before your Subcommittee. A copy of our testimony is included as appendix I. This letter summarizes some of our testimony along with additional observations about the Department of Defense's (DOD's) efforts to attain a greater degree of interoperability among its C3 systems. Appendix II more fully discusses those observations.
