Francisco Lozano, the Army\u2019s project manager for the service\u2019s Lower Tier Project Office within the Program Executive Office Missiles and Space. \u201cSo not only just the ability to share information between our international partners in a given combat scenario but actually to do it at a high enough fast-data rate so that the information is relevant and actionable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has worked toward this in European exercises, focusing on both missile defense and all levels of information sharing as the service attempts to tie together systems and networks. This is to ensure the coalition can respond in a crisis and information will flow more freely and in a more timely fashion for allies and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2018\/06\/08\/fighting-as-one-us-european-allies-move-to-sync-battlefield-operations\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_2306.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Fighting as one: US, European allies move to sync battlefield operations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Speeding across Europe to put together a multinational unit in less than a week is no easy task.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo that becomes important for us to continue to improve, especially as just U.S. defense systems in general proliferate across multiple different countries\u201d Lozano said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The colonel noted that the Army is finding ways to learn from its partners and allies that are involved in regular combat operations, even if they are not directly connected system to system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe stay tied in very closely with them, and it has become a great partnership situation where we are continuing and able to work very closely in their country to understand the execution of engagements; what impacts are on certain systems and certain environments operated 24\/7 for very long periods of time; understand the relevancy of certain threats and how those threats are employed; and then improve those through [tactics, techniques and procedures] and [concepts of operations] not only for a given country but also for ourselves,\u201d Lozano said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That in particular holds true for the Patriot air-and-missile defense system under Lozano\u2019s purview, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/mideast-africa\/2018\/03\/26\/videos-raise-questions-over-saudi-missile-intercept-claims\/\" target=_blank>which has seen plenty of recent action in the war in Yemen<\/a>. Saudi Arabian-owned Patriot systems have seen regular engagement with Houthi rebel missile attacks coming from Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the struggle to get systems to share information and talk, even if they are the same systems like Patriot, remains an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSometimes some of the reluctance to integrate an allied nation\u2019s missile defense systems goes to cyber vulnerabilities, and that is something that gets a lot of interest and consideration before you add something to the architecture,\u201d said retired Army Lt. Gen. David Mann, the service\u2019s former Space and Missile Defense Command chief. \u201cWe have brain power to make systems work together, but we have to make sure that we don\u2019t introduce vulnerabilities, whether it\u2019s cyber or anything else that will compromise the system writ large.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the challenges, it\u2019s important for the U.S. to continue to foster the adoption of missile defense capabilities within countries that can afford their own systems or partial systems, according to Raytheon\u2019s vice president of Air and Missile Defense Systems, Mitch Stevison. That\u2019s because the U.S. \u201ccannot afford to defend every square inch of the world,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s a struggle when it comes to policy to get Patriots owned by different countries to talk to one another, having interoperable systems will be critical in building a robust international missile defense framework in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A surge of European countries are buying Patriot, for example, with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/03\/28\/poland-officially-signs-deal-to-buy-patriot-from-us\/\" target=_blank> Poland<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2017\/11\/30\/its-official-romania-signs-deal-to-buy-us-missile-defense-system\/\" target=_blank>Romania<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/smd\/2018\/08\/02\/swedish-government-greenlights-patriot-deal\/\" target=_blank>soon-to-be Sweden joining the ranks of Patriot owners<\/a>. Switzerland is also considering the purchase of the Patriot system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even if not every country can buy Patriot, there is still a way to create a robust international or regional missile defense framework, said Richard Yu, the director of the capability development integration directorate at the U.S. Army\u2019s Space and Missile Defense Command\u2019s Future Warfare Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yu said the U.S. should take a page from NATO\u2019s missile defense framework, which is linked through a command-and-control system. Sometimes a country can afford to buy Patriot or Aegis, but when that\u2019s not the case, a country can buy part of a missile defense system and tie it into the framework, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, according to Yu, the Dutch have \u201cgreat\u201d missile defense sensors, but no shooters, so Belgium bought a lot of interceptors to complement that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe currency of international partnership is a little different and defined by what they are able and willing to contribute,\u201d Yu said. \u201cIf we can use that kind of currency with our framework with our allies and build upon the trust and, based on the framework that we can use, we can do a lot more. We just have to keep our minds open to what kind of currency international partnerships are able to provide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can the U.S. overcome challenges
