What is interoperability?
Interoperability means different military systems, like those used by the US and UK, can work together seamlessly. For example, if the UK uses Tomahawk missiles, ensuring they can be launched from US platforms, or vice versa, is key. This boosts allied effectiveness and coordination, especially when sharing defence resources.
