== History ==

MDI connectivity, functionality, and architecture features directly supports integration and inter-working for generic sensor/platforms (non-combat, non GSSC/M) including AT/FP applications, early adoption and/or bridging of the legacy SQQ-34B with the up-coming 34C variant, and provides a platform for CVTSC and DSS integration IAW C3S goals. It also provides an efficient mechanism to import/export data to consumers such as the Fleet ASW command, Advanced Battle Station (ABS), Quiet Interlude Processing (QUIPS), and others.

'''Mission Data Interface''' ('''MDI''') is a spin-off project from the [[Aircraft Carrier Tactical Support System]] (CVTSC) system -– which is installed on all current deployed US [[aircraft carrierscarrier]]s. MDI was originally intended to extendsextend the CVTSC/SSDS interacesinterfaces to share mission data with other remote battle group and theater-level (WAN internet scale) participants configured with the MDI capability. Mission data are all data generated during a mission, including electrical notes, commands, and even operator views. These data can be share among all systems within the [[Battlespace|battle space]] in [[Near real time|near real-time]]; as well as recorded for post-mission analysis and training. The proposal to establish the MDI project was submitted to '''Navy[[Naval Undersea Warfare Center''']] (NUWC) Keyport management sometime in late 2004. The project was approved by IWS5 Program Office and work started sometime in 2005.

MDI contains 2 major API libraries: [[Remote Method Innovation|RMI]]-based API and web services-based API.{{cn|date=August 2019}}
