WATCH NOW

The US Department of Defense interacts and communicates with coalition mission partners and allies on a daily basis. It is imperative for SOF mission success for partners to securely communicate, collaborate, and share sensitive or classified information in real-time. The path forward relies on what the Department of Defense calls Mission Partner Environments (MPEs). However, there are many logistical, technological, operational, security, and policy-based challenges to the implementation of MPEs.

 

Join GovExec TV at SOF Week 2024 as we talk with Industry and Defense leaders about some of the opportunities and challenges integrating special operations forces with coalition mission partners and COCOMs, how technology will enhance interoperability, and how innovative policy can promote the implementation and success of MPEs.
