2. The Interoperability Experimentation, Test and Validation (IETV) NATO UNCLASSIFIED

3. IETV: Interoperability Experimentation, Testing and Validation Capability I E T V • The IETV (Interoperability Experimentation, Testing and Validation) is a capability in support of • CIS formal validation (as an input to certification), • Interoperability enhancement and • Experimentation for multinational, NATO-led expeditionary operations. • NC3B and ACT have sponsored the development of the IETV capability • High level of synergy with other programs: • ACO has funded some process-supporting tools • Several nations have actively participated as validation/testing counterparts

4. IETV: Interoperability Experimentation, Testing and Validation Capability How IETV can be used? The IETV is a distributed capability (NGCS, CFBLNet). Aims to reuse existing NATO and National assets. IETV can be used remotely trough CFBLNET or NGCS transmission networks. IETV can deploy to a national site and also use NC3A static facilities. IETV can deploy in an exercise like SFCE, CWID or CE to support Interoperability, Experimentation , Testing and Validation activities.
