The Department of Defense (DOD) faces a crucial challenge in achieving its goal of joint all-domain operations due to the inability to achieve foundational, fast-paced evolution of data storage, management, and analytics exemplified in the commercial sector. The analysis proposes the adoption of object-based storage to address the challenges of cross-domain data integration and presents a framework based on the data-information-knowledge-wisdom pyramid, illustrated by an analogy of rivers, streams, reservoirs, waterfalls, and lakes. In essence, this research underscores the urgency for the U.S. government and DOD to embrace commercial data practices to facilitate advanced cross-domain algorithms, empowering decision-makers with a deeper understanding of complex situations and more effective decision-making capabilities.
