A Foundation for Coalition Interoperability Using NATO's C3 Technical Architecture

Abstract

Current projections indicate that in the future, the ability to share information between military systems will ultimately determine whether or not a mission will be successful. Based on the probability that conflicts will continue to occur involving allied command structures that utilize diverse information systems, information interoperability will be the crucial factor for success when conducting future combined and joint military operations. This paper describes an architectural approach that lays the structural foundation necessary to attain interoperability between diverse C3 systems and provides the rationale for why this approach has been proposed for use throughout NATO.
