RAND Arroyo Center estimated the feasibility and likely benefits of using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to support logistics operations. Future theaters rich in bandwidth will have robust networks that can satisfy many logistics needs, and the Army should invest in connectivity to that network. In bandwidth-poor theaters, small UAS with direct, point-to-point connectivity may be an attractive option for providing critical situational awareness.

The U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems program aimed to field an ambitious system of systems, with novel technologies integrated via an advanced wireless network. The largest and most ambitious planned acquisition program in the Army's history, it was cancelled in 2009, and some of its efforts transitioned to follow-on programs. This report documents the program's complex history and draws lessons from its experiences.

In recent decades, the United States has tended to engage with multinational partners and allies in military operations, thus bringing multinational interoperability to the fore. So why is the United States not interoperable when and how it wants? This report looks at what motivations exist for building interoperability and defines a framework from which to work if and when interoperability needs and investments meet strategic language.

Recent national defense policies focus on the importance of multinational interoperability to meeting U.S. defense goals. By recounting both their literature review and structured interviews with planners and Army leadership, the authors describe potential benefits of interoperability, the applicability of those benefits in particular contexts, and the significant costs and risks that investing in it might entail.

Researchers conducted an analysis of alternatives of interoperability measurement systems to support the U.S. Army in achieving interoperability with partners. Researchers identified a new approach, the Army Interoperability Measurement System, which includes a quantitative instrument for measuring interoperability levels and a qualitative component to enable capability gap analysis, among other features.
