  1. C3 INTEROPERABILITY • AFCEA ‘INTEROPERABILITY REVISITED’ • 16 June 10 • Dick Whittingham • Principal Technical Coordinator • NATO HQ Consultation, Command and Control Staff

  2. CONTENT • Overview • Implications of Interoperability Keys • Actions and Initiatives

  3. OVERVIEW • Interoperability is a challenge! • For C3, lack of interoperability means: • No network enabled environment • No information sharing • Move to a federated networked environment makes interoperability central to National as well as NATO activity • Pre-requisite for effective operations in the real world

  4. RELATIONSHIPS • For C3, our required capabilities are always in the context of the federated (NATO, national and multinational) networked environment • In NATO, required capabilities are defined and implemented via the NATO Defence Planning Process and the Operational Planning Process • Interoperability is a characteristic of a capability • Standardization is a tool to support interoperability

  7. INTEROPERABILITY KEYS • Understanding and documenting the interoperability requirement (IOR) • Identifying solutions to the IOR • Implementation of the solutions by all parties • Test and validation of the implemented solutions

  11. ACTIONS AND INITIATIVES • NATO Policies, Processes and Tools • Acquisition Process Reform • Common framework, ownership, funding scope, simpler • Principles for C3 Testing • Reference facilities: certification • Information Management • NIMA, information sharing environment • NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles • Linkage to architecture: SIOP

  12. ACTIONS AND INITIATIVES • Strategic Commands • Develop generic deployed ops C3 requirement • Simplify capability management • Industry • Really adopt open standards • Support establishment of distributed Reference Facilities for testing conformance to NATO agreed standards • Support spiral development and delivery

  13. MESSAGES • Interoperability in the C3 environment is now a core attribute for NATO and Nations • Processes need to be re-focussed, funds need to be re-prioritised • We need to solve tomorrow’s problem as well as todays
