Agenda




– Federated Mission network (FMN)



• Concussions


Agenda

• The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) was established on 1 July 2012 as a result of the merger of 4 independent NATO Agencies.

• The establishment of the agency has been part of a broader NATO reform to foster efficiency and effectiveness.

• The NCI Agency "connects forces, NATO and Nations"- and is NATO's IT and C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) provider, including cyber and missile defence.

The Geospatial Services Branch is the Agency’s centre of competence for all

aspects of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Geospatial Support (GS) and

Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

The Branch maintains all life cycle aspects of the NATO Bi-SC AIS Core

Geographic Services capability including interoperability across all NATO C2

and Functional Area Services.

• Concussions


Agenda

• Private Cloud– Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

– Some elements of Platform and Software as a Service (PaaS and SaaS)

• E.G., Application Store, incl. mobile Apps

– On-premise

– NATO-Owned / NATO-Operated (NONO)

• Centralised Service Management and Control– High degree of automation

– New Service Operations Centres to support this centralisation

C4ISR Viewer Componentization

A common C4ISR viewer is required by

NATO to:

- cover geospatial and C2 visualization

requirements

- perform spiral development

- sub-component based

- truly enterprise licensed


Example only

C4ISR viewer benefits to NATO

• Build once: use everywhere

– Acquisition/investment savings

– Longer term partnership with industry

– Better integration

• Fix once: solve everywhere

– O&M cost savings

– Greater reliability

• Single look and feel

– User involvement, Training

savings

• Easier to be reused by nations:

integration into national system

• Easier interoperability with NATO Core

• Concussions


Agenda

• Helicopter operations require flexibility and large amount of data to safely operate.

• Geospatial information is always required for mission planning, pre-flight and in-flight missions.

• Most of the HeliOps related information has only been available analogue.

• Information Technology modernisation (ITM) and Federated Mission Networks (FMN) are strategic enablers for Transforming Intelligence for 21st Century Missions in NATO

• Component based services, such as the common C4ISR viewer and underlying geospatial web-processing-services (WPS), will be near-term technology implementation for Transforming Intelligence for 21st Century Missions in NATO

• New mobile technologies for the tactical and operational user will provide intelligence sharing with lowest echelons for collection and consumption.
