Todays Profiles

• Platform Centric
• Will be in NISP Volume 2
• Based on fixed Interoperability Points IEGs
• Time phased for use in current implementations
• Segmented into Services/Apps Transport
• Profiles for Applications Layer
• - Directory, Messaging, Web Browsing -
• Transport Layer Profiles based on IPv4

Emerging Profiles

• Service Oriented
• Will be in NISP Volumes 3 4
• Net-Centric Integrated Information Services
  for
• Information Sharing with various partners
• Support across varying mission classification
  levels
• Interconnected by diverse transitional
  communications services
• Meshed Functional COIs and Enterprise use
• Profiles for Services
• - Messaging, Discovery, Collaboration
• Transport Layer Profiles based on IPv6

Coalition Profile Development

• Standards selected from NISP Volume 2
• New standards incorporated through RFCPs
• Profiles selected from NISP Volume 2
• New profiles added through RFCPs
• Generic Profile document used as a guide to
  develop profiles
• Future versions of NISP will have online registry
  of standards and profiles and guidance for
  profile development

Conclusions

• NISP has been developed to support coalition
  interoperability today and for NNEC
• Standards and Profiles in NISP
• Reference Models, Technologies and Guidance
  support transition to NNEC
• Future online registry will provide access to
  standards and profiles
