Networked interoperable real-time information services as a partial solution of command and control systems interoperable connection

摘要

The article is focused on an implementation of NATO SW Tool Networked Interoperable Real-time Information Services (NIRIS) in order to improve the current situation in an area of connection and data exchange interoperability among Command and Control (C2) systems of the Czech Armed Forces. The article starts with a general interoperability issue. The main part is focused on current interoperability possibilities of the Czech Armed Forces C2 systems. It also compares interoperability levels in a relation to coalition command and control systems. As a reference model there are applied Levels of Information System Interoperability (LISI). Based on results the NATO Software Tool NIRIS which was designed by NATO Communication and Information Agency to this purpose is proposed there as a solution for the Czech Armed Forces. In the third part there is a detailed description of NIRIS tools. Following paragraphs concentrate on its possible deployment including its advantages and positive impacts on the interoperability level as on the possibilities of data transmission.
