 | The NATO Network Enabled Capabilities (NNEC) feasibility study has identified Web services as a key enabling technology for NNEC. The technology is founded on a number of civil standards, ensuring interoperability across different operating systems and programming languages. This also makes the technology a natural choice for interoperability also in multinational civil-military operations, where a large number of heterogeneous systems need to exchange information. Web services provide loose coupling and ... |

|
| Battle Management Language (BML) has been under development since 2003. BML shows a promising capability for command and control to simulation interoperability, enabling a robust system of systems for training, mission rehearsal, and course of action analysis. An important issue in BML development is the ability to inspect and modify XML-encoded information flowing among C2 and simulation systems. We have developed an open-source tool for this purpose called the BMLC2GUI. ... |

| Collective Command and Control (C2) in Multinational Civil-Military Operations pose stringent requirements on C2 Information Systems (C2ISs) interoperability as well as the higher level automated reasoning processes. One such process, Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), depends on proper case formal representations and on the ability to assess similarity between an unfolding case (e.g. C2 situation) and known cases a priori in the case base. This paper explores the main classes of similarity ... |

| NATO is in the 2nd phase of its "NET-CENTRIC" or "Web enabled" transformation. NATO nations have ongoing C4ISR programmes and many of their legacy systems were industrialised or contracted before this Net-Centric transformation. The nations, like NATO, have the recurrent need to evolve their capabilities and converge to the NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC). Realizing the key NNEC goal of interoperability among "unexpected" parties remains a daunting challenge. Reference documents ... |

| Increased focus on multi-functional and multi-national operations brings new requirements to military command and control, in addition to other capability requirements. Parallel but separate from this development, interoperability has been of major concern within Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for years, especially in connection with standards for distributed simulations, e.g. High Level Architecture (HLA). Both areas share a need to create configurations of systems where elements of information exchanged are interpreted ... |

| The NATO Modeling and Simulation Group Technical Activity 48 (MSG-048) operated from 2006 to 2009, investigating the potential of a Command and Control (C2) Battle Management Language (BML) for Multinational and NATO C2-simulation interoperation. To achieve this, MSG-048 used an interface specification developed under US Army support called Integrated BML, enhanced to meet coalition needs. Demonstrations in 2007 and 2008 culminated in a weeklong period of experimentation in 2009. In ... |

 | The scope of the ballistic missile threat facing the United States and our allies is constantly expanding. Rising powers such as China and India have invested heavily in conventional and strategic strike capability, while rogue nations including North Korea and Iran continue to press their missile programs forward. Non-state actors have also joined in the game. According to the Department of Defense's 2010 Ballistic Missile Defense Review (BMDR), the ballistic ... |

| The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Special Operations Forces (SOF) Headquarters and its predecessor, the NATO SOF Coordination Center (NSCC), have made significant progress in special operations interoperability during its brief history. Despite the rapid progress, large gaps in communications, doctrine, intelligence sharing, equipment, and structure within NATO SOF units remain. The lessons learned from the past decade of persistent conflict and emergence of advanced communication capabilities offer an unprecedented ... |

| In a world of rapidly advancing commercial technology, the U.S. military often still struggles to deliver state-of-the art information technologies for C2 to warfighters and commanders. Some recent success stories include the Tactical Ground Reporting (TIGR) system, the Command Post of the Future (CPOF), and the Combined Information Data Network Exchange (CIDNE). These cases can be characterized using a Kline chain-linked model of innovation, with very strong iterative links between ... |

| Japan currently bans collective self-defense with the United States due to the interpretation of Article 9 of their Constitution, which prohibits war as "the right of a sovereign state." This restriction hinders future growth of the U.S. - Japan Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security and interoperability between the countries' military forces. Because of political difficulties with passing constitutional amendments, the DPJ's focus on domestic issues, and weak public support, ... |

| Net-centric enterprises increasingly are found in government and industry contexts. In this research, a net-centric enterprise consists of a number of semi-autonomous organizations that collaborate within the context of a federated structure. Such collaborations may be temporary and of known duration, temporary and of unknown duration, or permanent and known to be permanent. When such semi-autonomous organizations collaborate, they typically have information technology needs to support their collaboration. In the ... |

| The current organizational messaging capability within the Department of Defense (DoD) is an old technology that operates on a system-centric paradigm. This system-centric methodology for transmitting organizational messages is obsolete in the information-centric world in which we live. The importance of the information should determine what requirements are levied against it, instead of the system imposing the requirements on the information. To modernize organizational messaging, it must shift from a ... |
