[[File:Multilateral Interoperability Programme Logo.png|250px|right]]The '''Multilateral Interoperability Programme''' ('''MIP''') is an effort to deliver an assured capability for interoperability of information to support multinational, combined and joint operations. The MIP goal is to support all levels from corps to battalion. MIP's focus is on [[command and control]] systems. MIP is a consortium of 29 [[NATO]] and Non-NATO nations that meet quarterly to define interoperability specifications for the exchange information between their national Command and Control systems.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bistarkey|first1=Devon|title=Network interoperability key to common operating picture|url=http://www.army.mil/article/161317/Network_interoperability_key_to_common_operating_picture/|accessdate=2 March 2016|agency=US Army|date=January 22, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author1=Babak Akhgar |author2=Gregory B.

==Overview==

The Multilateral Interoperability Programme referred to as MIP, is an interoperability organisation established by national Command and Control Information Systems (C2IS) developers with a requirement to share relevant Command and Control information in a multinational or coalition environment.

As a result of collaboration within the programme, MIP produces a set of specifications which when implemented by the nations, provide the required interoperability capability.

MIP provides a venue for system level interoperability testing of national MIP implementations as well as providing a forum for exchanging information relevant to national implementation and fielding plans to enable synchronizationsynchronisation.

MIP is NOT empowered to direct how nations develop their own C2IS.
