4.2. Profile Specifications

31. This section summarizes the profiles, listed in volume 3:

4.2.1. NRF Generic Interface Profile

32. The purpose of this profile is to support NRF rotation specific profile development.

4.2.2. Tactical ESB - Profile

33. The aim of this specification is to describe a profile for a tactical Enterprise Service Bus (tact ESB) to be used in a coalition, highly mobile and distributed environment. The profile focuses specifically on requirements from military usage and goes beyond the ESB specification, available in civil implementations/products.

34. The profile is a generic specification; following the principle construction elements, it allows for national implementations a derivation from the proposed one, not losing the interoperability aspects.

35. Details of this profile are contained in: IT-AmtBw_A5_RuDi-High_Level_Concept_400.pdf (DEU)

4.2.3. AMN - Profile

36. The purpose of this specification is to define an Interoperability Standards Profile to support the Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) in order to enhance the exchange of information within and across the AMN. These are the extant and NATO agreed list of practical standards to achieve immediately usable interoperability between the national network extensions of the NATO nations, coalition nations and NATO provided capabilities.

37. Nations participating in the AMN have agreed to comply with the AMN joining instructions, of which these standards form an integral part.

4.2.4. CES - Profile

38. The Core Enterprise Services Framework ([NC3A CESF, 2009]) describes a set of Core Enterprise Services (CES) – sometimes referred to as the “what” of the NNEC CES. This section addresses the “how” by detailing the profile of functionality and mandated standards for each of the Spiral 1 CES.

4.2.5. Service Interface Profile (SIP) Template Document

39. The aim of this profile is to define a template based on the NCIA and IABG proposal for a standard profiling document, which from now on will be called Service Interface Profile (SIP).

4.2.6. FMN - Profile

40. The FMN Profile is included for notation by NATO Nations in ADatP-34(H) and provides implementation guidance for NATO common funded capabilities used in NATO exercises such as CWIX, Steadfast Cobalt, and Trident Juncture, until formally approved.
