In the longer term@ this framework will facilitate interoperability between Nations@ Strategic Commands and deployed operations facilitating a service oriented architecture supporting the concept of the NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC). NATO and contributing nations need to deliver a coherent set of digital and paper based geospatial products to achieve the maxim ??Operating off the same map??. This framework will support current and future operations based on lessons learned. With NGIF@ new geospatial products implementing new technologies@ methods and processes become less time-consuming and consequently less expensive.
