Abstract

Information exchange among coalition command and control (C2) systems in network-enabled environments requires ensuring that each recipient system understands and interprets messages exactly as the source system intended. The Semantic Interoperability Logical Framework (SILF) aims at meeting NATO´s needs for semantically correct interoperability between C2 systems, as well as the need to adapt quickly to new missions and new combinations of coalition partners and systems. This paper presents an overview of the SILF framework and performs a detailed analysis of a case study for implementing SILF in a real-world military scenario.
