Interoperability in the future must be expanded beyond its current military application to participants from the NGO and private sector who can support militaries in the fight against grey zone threats, cyber conflict, and threats to the international rule-based order. These new participants can bring their deep expertise to augment the military response.

Future threats to countries like Ireland may include elements of targeted or Europe-wide disinformation campaigns, cyber threats to critical infrastructure and interference with democratic processes that potentially could result in a fatal loss of trust in public institutions, regional security concerns and the dismantling of trade and immigration agreements that are counterproductive to advancing Irish national interests.

This Deloitte Global paper discusses the importance and changing nature of interoperability in countering threats likely to be encountered by a country like Ireland in the future.
