There is stillroom for improved collaboration throughout the Department of Defense DoD. Standardizing the ongoing efforts, cooperating whenever possible, and consolidating the foundational policies and technologies will enable the seamless teamwork that highlights future defense operationswhether the teams are manned, unmanned, or combined. The progress in unmanned systems technologies has highlighted the need to transition the focus from specific domains to become domain agnostic. Advances in any domain are beneficial across all domains. Future operations will rely heavily upon multi-domain capabilities that must interface and integrate seamlessly into a Joint Force structure.
