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.
2. Volume 4 of the NATO Interoperability Standards & Protocols (NISP) will continue the evolution from the platform based NATO C3 Common Operation Environment (NCOE) to the loosely coupled Network Enabled Capabilities environment. Within this part of the document, the focus is on the long-term's perspective. The long-term perspective has a time frame of 7 to 10 years into the future from the publication of this version of the NISP. This is the concluding step to the realization of a fully network enabled NATO coalition environment.
1.1. Scope
3. The scope of this volume will cover that final transitional period when NATO transforms its environment to one that follows the doctrine of a NATO Network-Enabled Capability (NNEC) environment. This volume will identify the emerging technologies.
4. The long-term period will mark the migration from separate wired and wireless technologies and applications, and more about service portability between various networks and seamless service mobility. The NATO network of the future will leverage both smart devices and network intelligence to delivery services in this seamless fashion.
