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 synchronization.
MIP is NOT empowered to direct how nations develop their own C2IS.
'''MIP Vision:''' The vision for the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP) is to become the principal operator-led multinational forum to promote international interoperability of Command and Control Information Systems (C2IS) at all levels of command.
'''MIP Mission:''' MIP is to further develop and improve interface specifications in order to reduce the interoperability gap between different C2IS.
'''MIP Scope:''' The MIP scope is to deliver a command and control (C2) interoperability solution in a net-centric environment focused initially on the Land operational user in a Joint environment, with a growing emphasis on the requirements of Maritime and Air communities in future baselines.
The MIP meetings are held in [[Greding]], [[Bavaria]], [[Germany]].
