What's Wrong with DoD's So-Called Information Architectures And What We Ought To Be Doing About It
Abstract
What are we after?
Interoperability. Components of multiple programs, services and allies need to work
together. This paper accepts without further argument that improved information systems
can improve combat power, including the deterrence capability that combat power
confers. This paper also recognizes that the list of other programs that one must be
interoperable with is indefinitely long. Therefore, an open-ended solution is a
fundamental requirement.
This leads us directly to the need for an architecture. We need a common design vision
that each program manager or procurement agent works to fit into. Defining and
articulating such an architecture is my purpose here.
