The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) requires more efficient and timely methods to acquire, integrate, and interoperate systems and systems-of-systems (SoSs) to deter near-peer adversaries and prevail in combat. RAND researchers were asked to participate in a multiyear effort to help DoD understand the challenges of creating a universal command and control language to facilitate the evolution of systems and interoperability of SoSs.

Readiness is integral to national security, and key to its management is the ability to measure it. The U.S. military reports monthly on overall readiness, and the authors' goal is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the detail and accuracy of the U.S. military's readiness reports. This report will be of interest to people who seek to use AI and its enabling technologies to support the mission of national defense.
