The Pentagon's intelligence directorate is investing heavily in systems and programmes specifically designed to knock down barriers to collaboration between US armed forces, allies, and partner countries across all strata of command, senior Pentagon and military officials said.

Increasing capabilities to foster increased collaboration between the Pentagon and its allies, from an information-sharing and technology perspective, has emerged as a priority for the department's intelligence directorate. “I am really focusing on [improving] international systems,” said Doug Cossa, chief information officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

“Whether it's the situation [in] Ukraine or others around the world, everything is done alongside of our foreign partners,” Cossa said during a briefing sponsored by the Intelligence National Security Alliance. “We really become one community for sharing knowledge, sharing intelligence, but also creating intelligence. And the linchpin behind that, what brings it all together”, is a robust, collaborative information-sharing environment between the US and its allies, he said.
