== History ==

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 carrier]]s. MDI was originally intended to extend the CVTSC/SSDS interfaces 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 API ==

MDI contains 2 major API libraries: RMI[[Remote Method Innovation]]-based API, and web services-based API.
