NATO Standardization and Interoperability - Handbook of Lessons Learned
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop a handbook of lessons learned based on an analysis of selected standardization and interoperability programs, primarily Army, in which the US has participated. It is felt that the problems inherent in achieving standardization can be alleviated to some degree by analyzing and documenting the experiences of past programs. For the most part, the study concentrated on those programs on which the US was dependent on Europe for the technology. This was consistent with the two way street philosophy. The objectives were to identify the political, legal, economic and technical problems encountered by the Army and DOD and to develop guidelines for future programs.
