Interoperability, A very overused word!In order for a collection of people to meet and work together, they have to exchange information

How to communicate such informationWritten order delivered via courier
Works, but slowInformation changes faster than it can be deliveredHuman processed
Messages delivered via voiceFastLess detail of informationRecords management issuesHuman processed
Electronic Messaging/EmailQuickMust have structure to be Human and Machine parsingMust have common definitions

InteroperabilityWhat we are really talking about is making
systems be able to talk to each other so that People (Armed Forces) working together (coalition) can exchange the information they need in order to work together.
“ Roughly 30% of C2 development costs are associated with making translations between systems”
Common data model approachAlleviate these costs burdensPromote information sharing

What is a common data model?
In Command and Control, it is a common understanding of the set of data that needs to be exchanged in order for coalitions to work together(i.e. all give same definition of a Bridge or Brigade)

Developed a common data modelC2IEDM becoming JC3IEDM
Supported by 24 Countries
US Army and US Marines directive on adoption
The MIP Data Model is now NATO’s Data Model
Many non-NATO countries keen to join
Quickly becoming the international standard for military command & control systems

U.S. Army Acceptance
“The use of the Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (C2IEDM) is Endorsed as the standard for information in Battle Command systems.”
“The C2IEDM’s pedigree includes a rigorous development process conducted by the Multilateral Interoperability Program (MIP).”
