Block 1 Exchange Services • Message Exchange Mechanism: – To develop an improved fieldable formatted message (Adat. P-3) capability supporting vertical and horizontal interoperability from corps to battalion level fieldable beginning in by 2003. • Data Exchange Mechanism: – To have a (push) data exchange capability that supports vertical and horizontal interoperability of C 2 IS at all levels from corps to battalion, and is able to co-exist with the agreed MEM with an initial fielding during the period 2003 to 2005.

Objectives - Block II • Deriving new systems requirements from the evolving operational requirements and defining new capabilities building on the foundation of the previous MIP Baseline (MEM / DEM / C 2 IEDM / Interface Operationg Procedures / Business Rules / Test Plans & Procedures / et. al. ). • Sustainment of the previous MIP implementations and products • Exploring emerging technologies in support of the preceding objectives

Specification Schedule • Sep 2002 Test Level 1 - Technical Interoperability • Nov 2002 Test Level 2 - Semantic Interoperability • Mar 2003 Test Level 3 - C 2 IS to C 2 IS Interoperability • Jun 2003 Regression Testing • Sep 2003 Integrated Operational Test & Evaluation (Ede, NL) Release of the MIP Baseline 1. 0

Specification Conformance • Submit change proposals to relevant NATO bodies if required – Adopted 11/03 as NATO Corporate Joint C 3 IEDM • Incorporated Change Proposals into standards • Be freely available to all NATO & Pf. P nations • Publish baseline documents to inform non-MIP members • MIP Certification
