General guidance for the Interoperability section includes:

- This section identifies and outlines two major ideas or lines of thinking:

- Where and how a new capability would interact with existing and/or programmed capabilities, particularly highlighting where there may be interdependencies (e.g. where it may become a new part of an existing system of systems, where it may necessitate the creation of a new system of systems, where it supports or enhances the capabilities of an existing system, etc.).

- Where and how a new capability would be dependent on any other systems or capabilities (e.g. for power, data, transport, etc.).

- As you discuss each of the above ideas in your document, highlight any DOTmLPF-P impacts you anticipate as a result of adding a new capability to the force. For example:

- Where it may become a new part of an existing system of systems, highlight the need for connectivity and data standardization, containerization/transportation, new operator skills, etc.

- Where it may be dependent on a current system, highlight what data may be required from another system to feed the new capability, what entity may transport the new capability into operations (person, vehicle, virtual?), etc.
