Chapter 1. Introduction
1. This document has been developed and agreed (AC/322(SC/1-WG/4)N(2010)0002-AS1, 24 Mar 10) by the NATO Open Systems Working Group (NOSWG) under the authority of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board (NC3B). Under AC/322-N(2010)0038-AS1, the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board noted ADatP-34(D) and approved the standards and profiles in Volume 2 as mandatory for use in NATO common funded systems in accordance with the NATO networked C3 Interoperability Policy.
1.1. Background
1.1.1. NATO C3 Technical Architecture
2. In December 2005 the NATO Open System Working Group completed version 7 of the NATO C3 Technical Architecture (NC3TA). In May 2006 the Information Systems Sub Committee (ISSC) approved version 7 of the NC3TA on behalf of the NATO C3 Board (NC3B). Due to the reasons described below, this was the last version of the NC3TA. In December 2006 the NOSWG completed the first version of the NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles (NISP) which is the replacement for the NC3TA. The first version of the NISP was noted by the C3 Capabilities Coherence Sub-Committee. At its meeting on 28 September 2007, The NC3REPS agreed that they would, on behalf of the NC3B, approve future versions of the NISP.
