Journal Article
An Interoperable Information Umbrella
2021
Overview
In 1996, Joseph Nye and William Owens foresaw the importance of information technologies and data sharing, warning that if the United States did not share the knowledge gained from its information systems—particularly satellites—other countries would have added incentive to develop their own. However, their analysis did not consider the potential benefits of resiliency offered by redundant allied systems. Decision makers should consider both the soft-power benefits of data sharing as well as the resiliency benefits associated with redundant, interoperable systems to enable a more robust path forward for gaining and preserving power in the information age. This article examines the disadvantages of restricting access to data as predicted by Nye and Owens and the unexpected benefits of redundancy for three space sector information technologies: reconnaissance satellites, global navigation satellite systems, and space domain awareness systems.
