will operate their systems as they have always done,” observed Moulton. “Te functionality of ISA is unobtrusive. All ISA does is provide additional ways to pull in data and information. It works behind the scenes for the Soldier.”
Complex computations that would take a “traditional” supercomputer 47 years can be done by a quantum computer in mere seconds.
AVOIDING DATA OVERLOAD A potential problem of sensor standardization in AUKUS is the danger of data overload. “We could have more data than the network could support and more information than an operator can digest,” acknowledged Moulton.
To avoid this issue, operators don’t automatically receive all the data from the system’s capabilities. Only the information and data that have been subscribed to or requested are sent. Tere are multiple ways to subscribe, such as geographically or by type, and the system has been designed dynamically, so adjustments can be made depending on need. “Tat in and of itself is going to help with data management, because, right from the beginning, not everyone is getting all the data that is available,” Moulton emphasized.
Interoperability has always existed among the three partners, but it had lacked “commonality.” According to Moulton, “It wasn’t as elegant or as seamless, and it definitely did not have dynamic connectivity. It was a lot more work and a lot more effort.” She is confident that the ISA standards that have been developed are flexible enough to accommodate new capabilities and new sensor technologies. “I think we are well positioned to support what- ever those future changes may be.”
With the joint approach through AUKUS now entering its fourth year, Moulton looks forward to the contributions each partner can make to the standard and mutual understanding as a basis for additional improvements. “I look forward to the collaboration that we’re going to foster with AUKUS and the additions they

can provide to the standard. Te more it’s adopted, the better our understanding of how to improve it.”
