For Phase II see the note in the bottom right.
Phase III (1992-1997) was the 'proof of concept' phase. Phase III concluded with a successful demonstration of multinational C2 interoperability between national prototypes for ATCCIS-compliant systems. Interoperability by controlled, automatic data exchange, free of the need for common hardware, software, operating system, or database management system (DBMS) was demonstrated.
In the right-side notes you can find some conclusions about Phase III.
The main Working
Papers were:
WP 5-5 ATCCIS Generic Hub 3 Data Model Specification, edition
2.0. It has a main
body file and several annexes
files (go to the archive\Phase III folder).
WP 3-5 ATCCIS Data Management, edition 1.0. It consists
of one file.
WP 5-10 ADatP-3 Mapping, edition 0.75. It
has one Readme
file, one main document
and five annexes, annex

annexes.

Phase III
The Phase III ARM has been demonstrated to function successfully on a
local area network (LAN) in laboratory environment. However, the
ARM continues to experience problems with x.400 COTS products that
implement this 1988 international standard.
Data represent a valuable
resource which must be managed effectively and corporately.
A technical architecture for an ATCCIS can be defined by using
international commercial standards supplemented, where necessary,
with military enhancements or standards.

Phase III minutes are in the Archive\Phase III\Minutes folder

Phase IV (1997-1999)
concentrated on the refinement of the specifications and
transition to operational use. CA, DA, FR, IT, GE,

In the right-side notes you can find some conclusions about Phase IV.
The ATCCIS Baseline

document, one annex
file and one Erwin
file.
WP 3-7 Management Guidance for ATCCIS Products,
draft 1.0. It has one document.
WP 5-11 Phase IV Work for the Record ,
edition 1.0. It has
one main
document, one annex
A to B file and one annex
C to J file.
WP 14-3 ATCCIS Replication Mechanism (ARM) Consolidated Specification
, edition 3.0a. It has
one main
document.
WP 17-1 Final Field Test ,
edition 1.0. It has
one main
document, and several annexes and appendixes.
Datafill for EC-3 , release 1.0. It has
one zip file for each
participating nation.

You can find the final report in:
Phase IV Final report , draft 1.0. It
has
one main
document.
Phase IV
For
prototype testing and implementation, Canada provided one
system; Germany provided two systems; France provided an
ATCCIS implementation; Italy implemented one ATCCIS system; The Netherlands
provided their ATCCIS system; Spain provided two command and
control (C2) systems, one for brigade and one for battalion; and the US
provided an ATCCIS implementation.
During
Phase IV, NATO continued its attempts to organise a data management
activity. An observer from the NATO Data Administration Office
NDAO) attended some meetings early in Phase IV. At ATCCIS
Steering Group Meeting 23 (ASG 23), the NDAO proposed formalising a
relationship between ATCCIS and the NDAO. The Steering Group
rejected this proposal out of concern for slowing down the speed of ATCCIS
work but requested SHAPE and NDAO to continue informal discussions.
By the end of Phase IV, the NDAO had asked the ATCCIS community to act
as custodian of the draft NATO standardization agreement (STANAG) based on
GH4 until a Group of Experts could be formed.
The ATCCIS Phase
IV minutes are in the Archive\Phase IV\Minutes folder of the
