  3. The CIMIC Dimension • Primary documents: • MC 411/1 (NATO Military Policy for CIMIC); • Allied Joint Publication 9 (AJP-9 – NATO CIMIC Doctrine); • ‘The interaction between Alliance forces and the civil environment (both governmental and non-governmental) in which they operate is crucial to the success of operations’ [AJP-9]; • Many civil actors (national populations, local authorities, International, National and Non-Governmental Organisations and Agencies); • Potentially rich information exchange. NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED

  4. High Level NATO Policy • At the highest level within the Alliance, information exchange policy is driven by: • The NATO Information Management Policy (NIMP) – Private Office (PO) (99)47; • Council Memorandum (C-M) (2002)60 (Management of non-classified information); • Influenced by: • Current NATO transformation process; • NATO NEC. NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED

  5. NATO Technical Level Policy • At the more technical level within the Alliance, information exchange policy is driven by: • Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs); • Allied Communication Publications (ACPs); • The NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles (NISP); • Message Text Formats, Tactical Data Links, Joint C3 Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM), Metadata Repository, XML Registry – all contributing to semantic interoperability. NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED

  6. Technical Level (cont) • Gateways: • Information Exchange Gateways (IEGs - various scenarios); • IEG ‘Lite’; • ACP 145 messaging gateway (future); • Public Key Infrastructure; • Exchange of information higher than NATO UNCLASSIFIED over the Internet; • Use of Commercial-off-the-shelf products; NATO/EAPC UNCLASSIFIED
