Achievement of CIS Interoperability – NATO Policy and Processes • Dick Whittingham • NATO HQ C3 Staff • Principal Technical Co-ordinator
OUTLINE • Framework • Expeditionary Reality • Vision
FRAMEWORK - POLICY • NATO C3 System Interoperability Policy • NATO C3 System Interoperability Directive (NID) • NATO C3 System Architectural Framework (NAF) v2 • Guiding Principles for C3 System Interoperability Experimentation, Test and Validation (IETV) in support of NATO Response Force (NRF) and NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC)

EXPEDITIONARY REALITY – PROVIDES: • Focus for Interoperability Experimentation and Test: • NIETI Core Team co-ordinate test activity • NATO Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID), Steadfast Cathode, [Combined Endeavor] • NC3A IETV capability development and use • Basis for NC3B Interoperability Sub-Committee to identify and solve interoperability challenges with Joint Force Commanders (JFCs) • Basis for ACT, NC3O and Industrial experimentation to enhance technical capability
VISION • Progressive move to NNEC capability • One to network paradigm • Uniformity and ‘standardization’ • Architectures • Standards and profiles • NATO Maturity Level (NML) models • Test and Certification • Process improvement

VISION • NATO C3 System Architectural Framework (NAF) v3 (currently draft) • NATO architecture Meta-Model (NMM) • NATO Architecture Repository (NAR) • NAR linked with NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles (NISP) (former NC3TA) repository, the NML repository and the NATO Interoperability Environment (NIE) Interoperability Tool

TEST AND CERTIFICATION • Provinginteroperable capability is critical for success • Good progress so far, but more needed • Knowledge and process baseline enhancement - NC3A • Improved linkage to Force certification • Willingness of Nations to offer the right equipment at the right time
PROCESS • The processes are complex • Process cohesion essential for capability delivery (especially NNEC) • Key activities: • Document process: use architectures • Provide consistent requirement baseline • Prove capability: document solutions
CONCLUSION • Interoperability is a challenge, especially for expeditionary operations: but we are making progress! • It is a challenge for everyone • Process and architecture developments are key to progress NNEC associated improvement • Progress depends upon Nations’ willingness to follow standardized solutions and to expend effort on testing.
