ATCCIS Baseline 2.
The ATCCIS Baseline 2.0 (see Baseline in the right side note) consists of a set of documents and files that you need to implement to get a fully ATCCIS conformant system (as described in the right note) . In order to understand what documents you need to read according to your requirements, you can navigate through the left menu.
The most significant achievement is an industrial strength specification that enables interoperability of information between heterogeneous military information systems. It is proven, it is freely available, and it eliminates risk. The principal components are a single universal interface and a mechanism to replicate information.
The documents are:
WP
5-5
Land C2 Information Exchange Data Model, edition 5.0. It has a
main
body file, an annexes
file, a PDF
file capturing the Erwin
model, and the ATCCIS Information Resource Dictionary (AIRD)
database .

Baseline
An ATCCIS Baseline is: A specification of an
interoperability solution that has been formally reviewed and agreed
upon, that thereafter serves as the basis for further development,
and that can be changed only through formal change control
procedures. The specification consists of the coherent minimum
set of documents needed to build a fully ATCCIS conformant system.
A baseline may be un-tested. An un-tested baseline will be used to
build prototypes to validate the quality of it. Once the un-tested
baseline has been tested and approved, it becomes a standard baseline. Source: ATCCIS
The ATCCIS Baseline 2 is the second and final baseline. It
delivers a mature capability for interoperability between
diverse and assorted command and control systems. It
supports both the land component commander of a joint force,
and crises response operations. It has applicability for
both tactical and strategic requirements and although
focused upon land operations has sufficient power to support a
broad spectrum of joint requirements.
ATCCIS End of Phase Products.
The ATCCIS End of Phase Products consist of a set of documents and files that are part of the Phase 2000 production but are not in the Baseline. The documents are:
WP 3-13 Guide to Change Proposals for ATCCIS Data
Specifications,
edition 5.0, consisting of one
file.
LC2IEDM Change Proposals (CP),
edition 5.0 . As part of WP 5-5, it consists of a set of documents described in the
Readme
file. The Phase 2000 CPs are in an Microsoft
Access@
Database. Also the Change Proposals for Phase III, IV and V in
MS Word zipped files are available.
ATCCIS Data Subgroup Phase V
Information Exchange Requirements (IER) Databases, edition 5.0.
As part of WP 5-5, it
has one Readme
file and three databases: one for Article
V IER, one for Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF)
IER and one for Crisis Response Operations (CRO)
IER.
WP 5-14 ATCCIS 2000 Phase V Work
for the Record, edition 5.0, consisting of one
file.
ARM Open Issues Library,
edition 5.0. As part of WP 14-3, this is one main
document supported by several folders
containing the ARM Change Proposals.
WP 18-1 Information Exchange Requirements,
edition 5.0, consisting of one
file and one Microsoft
Access@
database.
WP 18-2 Flexible Contracting,
draft 5.0, consisting of one
file.
WP 31-1 ATCCIS Filtering Proposals,
draft 5.0, consisting of one
file.
ATCCIS Phase V Final Report,
edition 5.0, consisting of one
file. This is a management report that summarises the ATCCIS
phenomenon. It defines ATCCIS and explains its position, activity,
achievements and national activity. Also the future activity with
the Multilateral Interoperability Programme is described.
The ATCCIS specification
is a managed interface between C2 information systems. When
incorporated into a system it enables interoperability of
information between any other system that also incorporates the
specification. Battlespace data is transferred as
information. The meaning and context of the information
is preserved across national and system boundaries precisely and
without any ambiguity.
ATCCIS Data conformant systems are systems capable of
exchanging information using the Land C2 Information Exchange Data
Model”. Source: ATCCIS, based on ASG-25 Minutes (Annex C).
Fully ATCCIS conformant systems are ATCCIS Data Conformant,
and have fully implemented an ATCCIS Standard Baseline.
They use the Data Exchange Schema, together with an implementation
of the ATCCIS Replication Mechanism and a set of common rules and
mutually agreed contracts for the automatic exchange of
information between them”. Source: ATCCIS, based on ASG-25
