MAJIIC

Mul(-intelligenceAll-sourceJointIntelligenceSurveillanceAndReconnaissance(ISR)InteroperabilityCoali(on

A Multinational R&D project to investigate and provide ways and means to allow Coalition ISR interoperability

Ø  9 Nations + NCI Agency (Technical Management and Support)

Ø  NATO organisations (ACO, ACT, BGX, JCGISR, NAEW&C, NAGSMA)

Ø  More than 150 C2ISR systems, and active (national) industry involvement

Paris Interoperability Experiment

1997 2001 2005 2010/11 STOPin2015

•  Not a well defined domain •  Unreliable environment •  Federated process spanning multiple

nations ,military services and echelons •  Legacy Architecture limited to immutable data •  Plethora of implementation technologies •  Iteration pace / agility •  Complexity •  Multi disciplinary community •  Legacy Stove Pipes / Monoliths •  Rigid, Brittle

Problem Statement – MAJIIC 2

16-09-09 NATO UNCLASSIFIED 5

•  MAJIIC 2 Model Driven Architecture

•  Expressed iaw standards, aligned with C3 taxonomy

•  Global awareness of data, products & state of processes

•  Agreed federated TCPED process

•  National Sovereignty of Implementation choice

•  Minimum Mission Footprint

•  Operationalized - Adopted at Steadfast Cobalt, Trident Juncture, NRF16, 17…

•  Comply with FMN principles

•  NATO adoption mandated by NATO SECGEN and JISR Capability Requirements

Top Level Takeaways

16-09-09 NATO UNCLASSIFIED 6

•  A central process (which can be another service) takes control of the involved services and coordinates the execution of different operations on the services involved in the operation.

•  The involved services do not "know" (and do not need to know) that they are involved in a composition process and that they are taking part in a higher-level business process.

•  Only the central coordinator of the orchestration is aware of this goal, so the orchestration is centralized with explicit definitions of operations and the order of invocation of services.

Orchestration

NATO UNCLASSIFIED

§  Choreography, in contrast, does not rely on a central coordinator.

§  Rather, each service involved or notified in the choreography knows exactly when to execute its operations and with whom to interact.

§  Choreography is a collaborative effort focusing on the exchange of messages in public business processes.

§  All participants in the choreography need to be aware of their responsibility in the business process, operations to execute, messages to exchange, and the timing of message exchanges.

§  In line with the NNEC FS definition of federation.
