Information Sharing & Open Data
A Connected Planet Foundation provides policy, planning, and technical support to the Department of Defense and partner governments — enabling secure, cloud-based information sharing across organizational and national boundaries.
Supporting USCENTCOM & Partner Nations
ACP provides policy and planning support to the Department of Defense, US Central Command (USCENTCOM), in the areas of information sharing and dissemination via cloud-based platforms.
We embed a UIS Liaison officer with national-level agencies in the Washington DC National Capital Region and maintain advisors at USCENTCOM Headquarters in Tampa, FL — ensuring continuous, on-the-ground support for complex information sharing operations.
Recent work has focused on deploying new cloud-based information sharing systems for federal compliance, training partner governments across the Middle East, and supporting humanitarian data coordination for Gaza Strip relief operations.
Areas of Work
Our information sharing program spans four interconnected areas of expertise.
Cloud-Based Platform Deployment
ACP supports the deployment of modern, cloud-based information sharing systems that meet federal compliance requirements. We help agencies transition from legacy infrastructure to scalable, secure platforms that enable real-time collaboration across organizational boundaries.
Unclassified Information Sharing (UIS)
ACP embeds a UIS Liaison officer with national-level agencies in the Washington DC National Capital Region. This embedded presence ensures that information sharing policies are implemented effectively and that partner agencies have direct, ongoing support.
Partner Government Training
We provide training and advisory support to partner governments in the Middle East region — including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Israel — helping them adopt and operate shared information systems in coordination with US government counterparts.
Open Data & Humanitarian Operations
Beyond defense applications, ACP applies its information sharing expertise to humanitarian contexts. Recent work has included supporting data coordination for Gaza Strip relief operations, where timely, accurate information sharing is critical to effective aid delivery.
"Information shared at the right time, in the right format, saves lives."
Whether supporting military operations or humanitarian relief, ACP's work ensures that critical information reaches the people who need it — securely, reliably, and on time.
