Description

Over the last year Dstl, and our industry partners, have supported Joint User Intelligence Policy Branch in their
work to revise STANAG 2433, more commonly known as AIntP-3, The Military Intelligence Data Exchange
Concept.

Dstl's work to date has supported the UK custodian in a refresh and update of this standard. As a notable uplift,
this revision has included an approach enabling machine-to-machine digital exchange of records following the
logical approach within that standard. This work has been completed and the custodian has submitted it formally
to the NATO group that owns this standard, following which a number of comments have been received.

In addition to documenting the new approach, proof of concept testing work has also taken place. This testing
involved exchange between a reference AIntP-3 system developed under this work and a version of NEBULA
from the ODYSSEY programme. During the test, a simple scenario using examples of AIntP-3 formatted data
was imported into NEBULA and the data was presented to a user. The data was then modified and exported
back to the originator.

The work is:
- To enhance the existing AIntP-3 to NEBULA test system to offer a
component to NEBULA providing AIntP-3 interoperability.
- Ongoing support to aid JU in their efforts to get JINTWG approval for the revised standards, as well as supporting subsequent efforts to push the standard through NATO ratification processes.
