Organisational Interoperability: Evaluation and Further Development of the OIM Model

Abstract

The military imperative to achieve increased interoperability both within forces and with other nations is well recognized. DSTO previously developed an Organizational Interoperability Maturity Model (OIM) to evaluate interoperability at the organizational level. The OIM considers the human-activity aspects of military operations, which are not covered in other models. This paper describes how the model has been used to identify problems and to conduct evaluations in coalition operations such as INTERFET and the Australia US Interoperability Review. These assessments showed that the attributes of the OIM needed development and refinement. Further work on the model is presented. This model is then used to conduct a preliminary evaluation of interoperability between Australia and the US in the Multinational Limited Objective Experiment 2.
