BACKGROUND |
Continuing work on the maintenance of the NATO M&S Standards Profile (NMSSP but also known as AMSP-01), and other work in the M&S domain, has revealed that there is a clear lack of coherence and co-ordination in terminology across NATO that hampers work to achieve interoperability. Individual countries have created their own M&S glossaries to describe terminologies but there is no coherence or co-ordination across these extant glossaries with variations on definitions and explanations. With ever closer work between nations, MSG-112 examined the issue which resulted with a recommendation to proceed with the creation of a NATO M&S Glossary of Terms. A co-operative approach is justified by the fact that the aforementioned glossary should be as relevant and pertinent to as many NMSG participating nations as possible. Moreover, the NATO M&S Glossary of Terms will be a NATO Allied Standard (AP type) covered by a STANAG.
