Interoperability at the Speed of Sound

Modern warfare is clearly changing, yet there are some things that do not change. Throughout history, soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen have learned one extremely valuable lesson relative to engagement with an opposing force. That is, if you can analyze, act and assess faster than your opponent: you will win. American and Canadian policymakers are dedicated to designing, developing and implementing a lean, team-oriented air force capable of defending the North American continent and our NATO allies in the face of unprecedented technological change, dynamic world-wide politics and internal reductions in budget and manpower.
