FOREWARD

The NATO Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Interoperability Architecture (NIIA)provides the basis for the technical aspects of an architecture that provides interoperability betweenNATO nations’ ISR systems. It is recognized that a complete architecture requires a technical view, asystems view, and an operational view to be complete. However, the systems and operational viewsare dependant on the specific scenario, with the systems involved determined by the participatingnations, and the operational view defining how the various systems are actually interconnected. Whilea acquisition group such as Air Group 4 could theorize hypothetical scenarios and generate thesystems and operational views based on those hypothetical scenarios, it is more important to focus onthe technical issues of providing the interconnectivity options within national and NATO-ownedsystems, and leave the operations planning to the military community.

This AEDP provides the technical and management guidance for implementing the NIIA in ISRsystems. It is divided into four volumes. Volume 1 provides the introduction and explanation of the

technical architecture. Volume 2 contains guidance for managing the NIIA, specifically, theconfiguration management and test and certification guidance to the NIIA Custodians. Volume 3 isthe technical guidance relevant to multiple parts of the architecture. Finally, Volume 4 provides termsand definitions. The four volumes are published as separate documents due to the large size of eachvolume.

This volume provides a reference for terms and definitions used in the architecture. This document isnot intended to supersede the terms in AAP-6, “NATO Terminology”. Rather, it is intended tosupplement the terms in that document with the specific terms applicable to the ISR community andnot of wide interest to the complete NATO community or nations. In addition, national glossaries ordata dictionaries may be used for specific acquisition programs and will supersede this document inthose occasions.

In addition to AEDP-2, users of the NIIA should obtain copies of each of the STANAGs incorporatedinto the architecture. These STANAGs provide the key interface standards needed to provide thesystems interoperability. Many of the STANAGs also have separate Implementation Guides for thestandard, published as separate AEDPs. In addition, specific guidance on sanitization anddeclassification of advanced memory recording systems (solid state and advanced disk arrays) isprovided in a separate document for ease of dissemination. This document is AEDP-3. A completelist of the documents included in the set of STANAGs/AEDPs is in Annex A of Volume 1 of thisdocument.

Executive Summary

The NATO Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Interoperability Architecture (NIIA)defines the overall structure of the elements of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance(ISR) community. The intent of this document is to provide the context for the standards developed byNATO Air Group 4, as well as commercial and international standards that are applicable to the ISRmission. It should be noted that while the original NIIA document was a description of an imagery-onlyarchitecture, the work of Air Group 4 has suggested that the scope of the Group ’s activities shouldinclude other sources of intelligence.

A description of operational environment, including a number of variations on the basic data flow, isprovided. This description includes notional task flow descriptions and timelines. When examiningthe ISR data flow, it is noted what interfaces will be exercised during the two primary ISR IntegrationWorking Group (ISRIWG) demonstrations. These two demonstrations, one to show interoperability atthe input to the ground/exploitation system by using the NATO Advanced Data Storage Interface, and

one to show interoperability at the output of the ground/exploitation system by using the NATOSecondary Imagery Format and NATO Standard Imagery Library Interface.

Each of the currently ratified and developmental standards developed under Air Group 4 is alsoreviewed. Each standard is discussed in terms of its application and use. Other documents neededto complete the architecture are also discussed.

Finally, the actual architecture is introduced and discussed. Four levels of interoperability, as definedin NATO interoperability publications, are reviewed. They are:

Degree 1: Unstructured Data Exchange. Involves the exchange of human-interpretableunstructured data such as the free text found in operational estimates, analysis andpapers.

Degree 2: Structured Data Exchange. Involves the exchange of human-interpretablestructured data intended for manual and/or automated handling, but requires manualcompilation, receipt and/or message dispatch.Degree 3: Seamless Sharing of Data. Involves the automated sharing of data amongstsystems based on a common exchange model.Degree 4: Seamless Sharing of Information. An extension of degree 3 to the universalinterpretation of information through data processing based on co-operating applications.

It should be noted that the objective of the NIIA is to achieve interoperability at Degree 2, with somespecific interfaces achieving Degree 3. Degree 4 can be considered a long term objective, but it wasdetermined that lower degrees of interoperability should not be delayed in favour of ultimatelyachieving a higher degree. Degree 2 interoperability is a significant accomplishment, and will providea high level of capability to NATO and coalition forces. Higher degrees of interoperability will be

addressed once degree 2 is achieved and demonstrated.

Finally, a review of the standards as they fit into the architecture is performed. The standards aremapped against the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 7-Layer Interface Model. Thismapping is performed to identify how the standards fit together and include commercial andinternational standards, as well as to identify the holes in the architecture that must be addressed bythe activities of the ISRIWG and its subordinate groups. During the analysis, it was determined thatmost interfaces are adequately defined, and those requiring additional standardization can be filledwith existing commercial and/or international standards. The key issue remaining is the multitude ofchoices provided by many of the standards, thereby allowing multiple implementations that would notbe interoperable. It will be important to develop interface profiles that define the specific choiceswithin each standard, thereby ensuring interoperability.

viiNATO UNCLASSIFIED

In summary, it is noted that the ISR architecture is applicable across all levels of NATO and coalitionoperations, including both Article 5 (war operations) and non-Article 5 (peacekeeping, peacemaking,

etc.) campaigns. Finally, while it is recognised that the standards are complete, there is a largevolume of support documentation, including configuration management plans, test and certificationplans, implementation guidance, and acquisition guidance, that are available to the community. It isrecommended that STANAG custodians consolidate this documentation into a single volume toaccompany each standard. The accepted form of this volume is as an Allied EngineeringDocumentation Publication (AEDP). Combining the AEDPs with this document and the standardsforms the complete NIIA definition and documentation set.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document provides a common set of terminology for use by the NIIA community. Thisterminology is both in terms of common terms and acronyms, and a data dictionary that defines the

metadata elements used in the ISR community.

1.1 Scope

This document includes all of the specialized terms and definitions, and metadata descriptionsapplicable to the ISR community. It is not intended to supersede the other documents published byNATO for terminology or those in use by the international standardization community.

2.0 VOLUME CONTENTS

This document is divided into two Annexes. The first annex includes the terminology used in themajor standards that comprise the NIIA. These terms were taken from a number of separate

documents and represents a compilation of both the acronyms and definitions. In this annex, theacronyms and definitions are alphabetized together into a single listing of reference terms.

The second annex is a data dictionary. This annex includes an analysis of the relationship of themetadata fields of the different standards. A formal data dictionary, defining all of the metadataelements and how they are to be managed by the international standardization community (ISO/IEC)and since the standards of the NIIA are linked to standards and profiles of the ISO internationalstandardization world, the specific metadata definitions of that organization will be used.

3.0 SUMMARY

This document is intended as a reference for users of the NIIA set of NATO publications. It is

intended as a reference only and conflicts with other sources should be referred to the appropriatecontracting agencies for resolution.

Graphic Graphic data is used in the NSIF to store two-dimensional information represented as a ComputerGraphics Metafile (CGM). Each Graphic Segment(GS) consists of a Graphic Subheader and a Data Fieldcontaining the graphic data. A graphic may be blackand white, grey scale, or colour. Examples of graphicsare circles, ellipses, rectangles, arrows, lines, triangles,logos, unit designators, object designators (ships,aircraft), text, special characters, or a combinationthereof. A graphic is stored as a distinct unit in theNSIF File allowing it to be manipulated and displayednon-destructively relative to the images and othergraphics in the NSIF File. This standard does notpreclude the use of n-dimensional graphics whenfuture standards are developed.

UKG

Laser Gyroscope An instrument which uses laser light travelling inopposite directions around a ring or other shape of

light-conducting material, and is used to detect andmeasure rotation. The principle of operation is asfollows: the relativistic path length of the observer, thatis the photon, travelling around the ring with thedirection of rotation is different from the relativistic pathlength of the photon travelling in the opposite directionaround the ring against the direction of rotation. Thechange in path length of the two paths is proportional tothe area enclosed by the path and the rate of rotation.A change in output frequency provides a measure ofthe change in path length and a measure of the rate ofrotation

UKG

Laser Pump The energy source, which can be optical, electrical,

chemical or nuclear, which provides energy to thelasing medium. The energy supplied by the pumpexcites electrons in the atoms or molecules in thelasing material to higher energy levels, until a state ofpopulation inversion exists which is sufficient to enablestimulated emissions to take place

4545

Universal TransverseMercator (UTM)

A system of grids for global use between latitudes 84degrees North and 80 degrees South. The range oflongitudes 180 degrees West to 180 degrees East isdivided into 60 zones, each of which is a grid based onthe Transverse Mercator projection. (Within eachzone, there is a difference in coordinate systems eitherside of the Equator. On the northern side, northingsstart from zero at the Equator; on the southern side,northings are positive rising to 10 million at theEquator.) The actual grid depends on the choice ofgeodetic datum as well as the zone.

A structuring mechanism in which many groups ofpixels in an image are replaced by a smaller number ofimage codes. A clustering technique is used todevelop a code book of best fit pixel groups, or kernels,to be represented by the codes. A form ofcompression is achieved because the image codes canbe recorded using fewer bits than the original pixelgroups they represent.

Data Dictionary

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Annex defines the relationships between the metadata elements of the primary data formatstandards of the NIIA. The intent is to show how the data elements can be mapped from onestandard to another.

2.0 DATA DICTIONARY

2.0.1 The formal data dictionary for metadata to be used with the NIIA will from the ISO TC211suite of standards, to include, but not limited to 19115:2003, 19115-2 and 19130. It is anticipated thatthe NIIA will have data dictionary elements and definitions in addition to the ISO elements. These

elements will be harmonized with the Digital Geographic Information Working Group (DGIWG) andstored in a registry available to all NATO members. The ISO UML descriptions of this metadata willbe managed by ISO TC211 and the NIIA extensions will be managed within NATO. Animplementation model, including an XML schema will be from the ISO 19139 and 19139-2 andmanaged within the s patial m etadata e Xtensible Markup Language (smXML) namespace by ISO.NIIA schema extensions to smXML will be managed within NATO. The latest versions of thesedocuments will be the authoritative reference for metadata descriptions.

2.0.2 While these documents are the general references for metadata, the specific data fieldsdefined in the format standards on the NIIA (STANAGs 4545, 4607, 4609, and 7023) are to be usedwithin the constructs defined in those respective standards.

2.1 Data Element Mapping

The data elements of STANAGs 4545, 4607, and 7023 are related in that they contain similarinformation. The following tables in Appendix 1 show the relationships between the data elements ofthese format standards.

3.0 CONCLUSIONS

Data elements used in the NIIA are comparable to those used in many communities that haveairborne platforms collecting data. It is important for users of the NIIA to understand the relationshipsbetween the data elements used.
