These nations need to go through a modernization process of their Air Defence capabilities, in times where financial limitations make it difficult for a single nation to acquire such capabilities on their own. The NATO C3 Agency is highly engaged with the nations of South East Europe in supporting their C4ISR transformation efforts, and possesses all skills, capabilities, and tools to design, procure and implement a regional, multi-national air defence capability, with truly joint situational awareness and integration of na­tional sensors and Missile Defence systems.

As this use has expanded exponentially, so has the need to integrate these systems. The cost of establishing collaboration between these systems is typically high, and is complicated by differing organizational readiness levels, willingness, and technical ability to affect collaboration. The opportunity to enable interoperability, therefore, has great value, provided it can address these factors and more. In this paper, the authors present an approach to achieving interoperability through the use of a translation gateway. Translation is the conversion of one data format or protocol to another while retaining the meaning and context of the original. The key factors in translation include the data itself, the format of the data, the medium of transmission, and the context of the data that turns it into useful information. A gateway must be able to deal with all of these factors. The data, format, and medium translation challenges are relatively straightforward, discrete, and solvable transformations. The context translation challenge is more complex and involves the application of subject matter knowledge and expertise. A successful architectural approach utilizes the layered methodology. Gestalt has identified four key layers that contribute to a successful translation gateway. They are, a system-neutral data interchange format, an external systems interface layer, a translation layer and an intelligence layer.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marvin L.

The proposal may be used to explore how C2 systems (one set of systems on a US secure network and one set of systems on a coalition LAN) could work during experimentation. Military members, both US and Coalition, contractors, acquisition, developmental test organizations, operational test agencies, and operational users are the key during C2 events and should document procedures and workarounds that improve overall CAOC system. Instead of presenting standard operating procedures for any standing Coalition Aerospace Operations Center, this paper primarily provides operational users with some insight into using more than one suite of equipment to prosecute a Coalition Air Operation. This paper expresses, both in operational and technical language, the theoretical underpinnings required for experimentation to improve a notional Coalition Aerospace Operations Center.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
