Anyone for another round of "buzzword bingo"?

Briefly, it means interoperability. The running joke of course is
that "Analog has always been inter operable". In context to the
various divergent digital encoding (not encryption) schemes out
there.

Sort of like a properly designed Java(tm) application working
properly regardless of what operating system you're running it
on.

The military has traditionally been a closed environment with
"this project uses this system" which makes passing information
between the systems difficult at best.

But then, the tower of babel was the original solution to the
one world government issue. ;-)
