Overview of Presentation
• History and scope of the NATO Codification System (NCS)
• The current process of cataloging within the NCS
• Vision for the future of the NCS with eOTD
What Is The Purpose Of NATO Codification?
• To establish a common supply language throughout all logistic operations
• To enable interoperability
• To optimize resource management by minimizing duplication in inventories
What is it?
How long to keep?
Price?
Characteristics?
How to purchase?
How to dispose?
How to order?
How to store?
ANSWER = The NSN and reference related dataThe questions are based on National requirements of
logisticians!!!

Scope of the NCS
• 16 million NATO Stock Numbers have been assigned
– 7 million by the U.S. and 8 million by the other NATO countries
– 31 million reference numbers have been registered on these NSNs
– These NSNs contain more than 22 million user registrations
• 1.5 million manufacturers and other organizations are registered

1990 Joel Arthur Barker
• Cataloging at source (vendor supplied data)!
– Common metadata through ISO 22745 • an end to data mapping
– Requirement specifications• an end to incomplete data
– Data quality through ISO 8000• an end to inaccurate information
• Lowers the cost of cataloging and increases long term data reliability!
Vision for the Future
How NATO Will Realize the Vision
• NATO AC/135 is working with ECCMA, a defense company called Patria, and NCS application software providers on a project to apply the principles of eOTD and SSC to a weapons system:
– The weapons system is called the Patria Armoured Modularized Vehicle (AMV)
– The NCS software applications are SICAD Plus, N-CORE, AURA MC Catalogue, and OLCIMS
– The National Codification Bureaus involved are Finland, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States (DLIS)
– National softwares like ADAGIO (France), CENCAT3 (Australia), and ISIS (United Kingdom) may also be included in SSC Phase II

eOTD is Classification Neutral
Benefits for Government
• Opportunities for improvement of the NATO Codification System through increased industry participation
• Promotes NCS approach as an ISO standard
• Lower cost of cataloging: Reduction of labor hours
• Higher quality data through direct import of manufacturers’ data
Goal: Electronic transfer of descriptive data from our suppliers and manufacturers to NCBs
The ultimate goal has been met: to provide a means of
describing product data through the life cycle of a product,
independent of any particular computer system
Vision of the Future
Integrated Data EnvironmentTowards an Enterprise IDE
AirForce
How else does IDE contribute to asset visibility and overall interoperability?
Vision: the DOD logistics enterprise is executing practices, processes, applications, and decision support in an integrated logistics data environment, thereby achieving logistics data interoperability within a Net Centric Community of Interest (COI).

Questions
Requirement: capability to integrate force structure planning for identifying and constituting deployable combined force modules.
• Who is available? • With what
equipment? • Where are they
now? • How long can we
support them?
People, things and property related to force structure.
Deployment and constitution options can be continuously evaluated.
Required items identified, pre-positioned and tracked with RFID.
People and things can be identified to sites and facilities for rapid deployment response.
Unique Identification (UID)Integrated situational awareness of people, places, and things
