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.
The NATO Data Administration Group (NDAG) cooperates with the MIP's Data Modeling Working Group (DMWG) in building the Joint Consultation, Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM).
C2IEDM
The C2IEDM (the predecessor to the JC3IEDM), or Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model, is a data model that is managed by the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP).[1] It originated with experts from various NATO partners and from the Partnership for Peace nations. This data model is in the process of being submitted to Object Management Group (OMG) for consideration as the standard for Information exchange. It falls under the shared operational picture exchange service.
