This article proposes that the US must develop a policy that promotes the sharing of its SSA capabilities with foreign and commercial entities in order to maintain its dominant position. This does not mean full and complete disclosure of everything we possess to whomever requests it, but rather a well-designed approach that fully considers the National Security interests of the United States. Such a policy should have three primary objectives: 1) derive additional SSA for the US by maximizing the relationships developed through SSA cooperation, 2) increase Joint and Coalition interoperability for future conflicts, and 3) drive dependence on US SSA to delay the development of foreign and commercial SSA.
