Framework For Collaborative InteractionandProgre
ss Made Since Industry Day 2008

• Rear Admiral Christian Canova, French Navy
• Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff
• Future Capabilities, Research and Technology
• Acting Concept Development Experimentation

A Framework For Collaborative Interaction (FFCI)
between ACT Industry

• FFCI is an overall suite of liaison mechanisms,
  existing and new, with procedures and advice how
  to use them.
• FFCI Introduced at Industry Day 2008 and built on
  best practices from National similar
  arrangements.
• FFCI aims to increase opportunities between ACT
  Industry for partnering more effectively
• in order to compress the time it takes to deliver
  capability improvements to the operational
  commanders,
• and to improve interoperability between Allies
  and partners on capabilities before they are
  fielded in operations.

3
FFCI Main Principles

• Transparency.
• Fair treatment and positive partnering.
• Fairness and openness.
• Costs lie where they fall.

4
FFCI Progress made since ID08

• Developed with support from NATO Industrial
  Advisory Group (NIAG) and NATO Command, Control
  and Consultancy Agency (NC3A).
• Socialization FFCI in NIAG, CNAD Military
  Committee.
• Nations views (NADREPs) provided via Assistant
  Secretary General Defense Investments (ASG/DI).
• Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD)
  noted the FFCI initiative, and offers NIAGs
  assistance in its the development and
  implementation (September 2009).

Industry Day 2008 - Panel Review

• Maritime Protection
• Protection of maritime assets in coastal waters,
  ships and infrastructure, including ports,
  harbors, and oil rigs.
• Cyber Defense
• Industry perspectives on Challenges in Providing
  Cooperative Cyber Defense Capabilities to NATO
  Forces.
• Joint intelligence Surveillance and
  Reconnaissance
• Initiate concrete actions to support ISAF/JISR
  requirement
• Assess usefulness of Distributed Networked
  Battlelab (DNBL) in support of a JISR capability
  development.

Industry Day 2008 - Progress made

• Maritime Protection Panel - Maritime Security
  Operations (MSO) is 23/50 on the Priority
  Shortfall Area (PSA) list.
• NURC to feed CNAD (through NNAG), the NIAG and
  RTO panels with new tech-ops concepts, and to
  carry out experimentations with underwater
  vehicles, special forces and marine mammals in
  2009.
• Cyber Defense Panel - Computer Network Defense is
  7/50 on the Priority Shortfall Area (PSA) list.
• ACT-Industry interaction to be continued through
  NNEC Industrial Consortium (NCOIC) in 2009.
• Joint Intelligence, Surveillance Reconnaissance
  Panel -JISR is 1, 9 27/50 in Priority
  Shortfall Area (PSA)
• Delivering immediate operational benefit to ISAF
• Leverages ongoing ISR capability efforts (support
  MAJIIC project)

Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance (JISR) FFCI Catalyst

• Using a Distributed Networked Battle Lab
  framework to speed up the implementation of an
  ISR capability and improve interoperability
  between Nations involved in the MAJIIC project.
• Four industry partners involved
• Significant national interest in participation
• Scheduled JISR test in February 2010.
• Benefits to NATO Industry
• Increase effectiveness of capability delivered
• De-risks employment of key capability
• Opportunity to test ISR systems in most realistic
  environment
• Supports implementation of national capability
• Access to ISAF architecture and NATO standards
  and procedures.
• Next Steps
• NATO delivering coherent JISR capability to ISAF
• Encourage participation from Industry through ACT
  JISR 5 year plan.

FFCI - Whats next ?

• Continue to develop Distributed Networked Battle
  Laboratory (DNBL) as a tool with Joint
  Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance as
  an FFCI catalyst.
• If Interested, re-engage on Maritime Protection
  and Cyber Defense.
• Collaborate on new topics Maritime Information
  Services (MIS) and Sustained Knowledge Management
  (SKM).
• Consider launching additional projects.
• Consolidate website, FFCI mechanisms and work
  processes.
• FFCI booklet is an ACT-Industry working paper.

ACT is moving FFCI from theory to implementation
