Abstract:

Making sure systems can work together during joint operations has been a key problem for the Department of Defense. Interoperability testing and certification of systems are important because they help program managers consider such things as whether a system can work with systems belonging to other military services without unacceptable workarounds, and whether the systems conform to broader architectures designed to facilitate interoperability across DoD.
