The chief information officers of the Defense Department and Director of National Intelligence have signed a memorandum of agreement to “achieve seamless sharing and multi-partner operations” through Web-based capabilities. The intent is to provide both better analysis and increased access between DOD and the Intelligence Community. The two agencies plan to jointly develop standards, rules, and interoperable secure infrastructure services, per a Pentagon release.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
