The NATO HQ need for the Web:How policy requirements are affected by the need to take web development into account • Georges D’hollander • Maj Gen, BEAR • Director, NHQ C3 Staff, and also • Vice-Chairman NC3 Board
Briefing Outline • Background • Transformation • Interoperability • Architectures • NATO Maturity Levels • NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles • Information Management • Information Assurance • Conclusion
Transformation (1) • Dramatic slimming down of NATO command structure • Establishment of: • Allied Command for Operations (Mons, BE) • Allied Command for Transformation (Norfolk, USA) • Establishment of NATO response force: • Small, agile, highly deployable • Multinational composed of contributions from many nations, • some contributions small in size • NATO led operations include force contributions from many NATO and non-NATO nations
Transformation (2) Vulnerabilities Political Dependencies Military Economic Information Links Strengths Nodes Infrastructure Social Relationships Weaknesses • NRF seen as a key catalyst to help transform NATO: • Rotation cycle of 6 months • A challenge to interoperability at all levels • NATO commands adopting an Effects Based Approach to Operations and have identified 7 key Transformational Area (ToAs)

Interoperability • What is interoperability? • Human • Technical • Procurement • Interoperability epochs • Yesterday • Today • Tomorrow
Interoperability - Systems and Standards • Key multinational initiatives: • TACOMS (Post 2000) • Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) • Waveform development • Exploitation of Software Defined Radio • NATO Friendly Force Indicator (NFFI) • Multilateral interoperability Program (MIP) • Core enterprise services • Many of these had been initiated well before the NNEC Feasibility Study, but fit well with the recommendations • But also note: • The good thing about standards is that we have so many to choose from! • So need to focus on idea of net readiness and clear out the old standards • Multiple Commercial Technologies! • Web Services XML, OWL .Net, J2EE • Data Mediation Portals Replication • Intelligent

Key IM Objectives • Supporttheachievement of Information Superiority • Optimise the use of information resources • Support the identification and preservation of information of permanent value
Increased Information Flow • Achieving interoperability more data can be transferred and more information will be exchanged and available • Different information needs at different command levels
Information Management • What is IM about? • IM aspects: • Industry - Technology • Human • Doctrine • Procedures • Organisation (Chief Information Officer) • Quality • Security
