Interoperability solutions must be flexible to enable changes in such compressed timeframes. However, the development of a modular interoperability solution requires a well-documented and well-understood methodology and organization structure. In this paper, we propose an approach that is based upon the concept of capability packages and the use of the Unified Modelling Language (UML), the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF), Model-Driven Architecture (MDA), and techniques that enable the automated generation of artefacts. The methodology has been developed within the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP), a standardization committee supported by 29 nations and NATO. A case study was set up to prove that the capability package approach allows the rapid delivery of service specifications that are easily implementable in the various national C2ISs.en004conference paper
