I. INTRODUCTION
In 21st century warfare the scenario of two nations’ armedforces
individually engaging each other is highly unlikely. The
current mission paradigm foresees a combination of
multinational forces that have to operate in combat or disaster
relief, highly-asymmetric operations. These operations will
often involve non-traditional, non-military partners, such as
political host-nation factions, governmental and nongovernmental
organizations, civil protection agencies, etc.
Following the tenets of the comprehensive approach [1], the
military dimension will just be one component of a number of
equally relevant aspects including the political, humanitarian,
economic or diplomatic dimensions. In these new
environments, proper information sharing and effective
information exploitation become critical tools for success.
Solutions to enable information sharing and dissemination,
while protecting the forces and their nations from undesired
information release are essential to implement proper tactical,
operational and strategic information systems in support of
operations. Such solutions have been studied in-depth by
concepts like the NATO Network-Enabled Capabilities
(NNEC) [2]. NNEC doctrine [3] has identified four essential
components that must be addressed to enable generic solutions
for secure and efficient information sharing: (1) the networks
and systems supporting the command and control information
flows; (2) the information itself; (3) the processes and
procedures that ensure availability of information when and
where needed, and; (4) the policies and doctrine that permit
and facilitate the information exchange to happen. It is well
understood that no solution will satisfy the requirements for
efficiently federating information unless it properly addresses
all of the four above mentioned components.
