MIP DEM Data Exchange¶
Status: Planned
No adapter exists in gateway/src/formats/ yet. See the Status & Roadmap.
What it is¶
MIP DEM (Multilateral Interoperability Programme Data Exchange Mechanism) is a NATO agreement defining how allied nations exchange C2 (command and control) data. It is built on the JC3IEDM (Joint C3 Information Exchange Data Model), a large relational data model covering organisations, materiel, personnel, facilities, features, actions, and locations.
The standard has evolved through several baselines — Baseline 2 (XML exchange), Baseline 3 / 3.1 (service-oriented), and Baseline 4 (current, modernised model and services).
Bedrock's integration¶
Planned. No MIP DEM support exists yet. Because JC3IEDM is a far larger data model than the
other gateway formats, the intended approach is a phased adapter in gateway/src/formats/
that starts with locations (unit positions, which map directly to WayPoint positions) and
expands toward organisations and the full operational picture.
Baseline selection, schema mapping, and the phased task breakdown live with the owning repo: gateway/docs/standards/mip-dem-exchange.md.
