Systematic offers more than the traditional database replication mechanism by adding powerful filtering, data owner, contracts and data queuing concepts, to increase flexibility, security, traceability and data availability. Systematic MIP Replication is used by several nations participating in MIP.
What is MIP? The standard for interoperability
The programme currently co-ordinating the efforts of nations working with interoperability at an international level is the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP) – www.mip-site.org.
According to the organization’s charter, “The aim of the MIP is to achieve international interoperability of Command and Control Information Systems (C2IS) at all levels from corps to the lowest appropriate level, in order to support multinational, combined and joint operations and the advancement of digitisation in the international arena, including NATO.”
The group is progressively developing standards for data exchange among its members. The group’s current standard - Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (C2IEDM) – will be superseded by the Joint Command, Control and Consultation Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM) in 2008.
There are 26 nations and other allied organizations (including NATO) involved in the MIP. The African Region is currently without representation in the programme. Nations may apply to join MIP providing they have the endorsement of a full member.
