INTRODUCTION NATO's Federated Mission Networking (FMN) capability provides the agility, flexibility and scalability needed to manage the emerging requirements of any mission environment in future NATO operations. One of the key elements of FMN is a governed framework that allows FMN Affiliates to standardize and develop future capabilities in a synchronized manner, assuring the required level of interoperability. FMN governor role within NATO is performed by Military Committee. The FMN Secretariat, among other functions in its managerial role, helps Affiliates to set their level of ambition for every Spiral Specification, and provides mechanisms enabling validation and verification of required capabilities. The secretariat is supported by a range of working groups supporting the lifecycle elements of FMN framework, including Spiral Specifications where detailed CIS interoperability systems requirements are stated. HQ SACT is actively supporting FMN working groups in areas of requirements definition, design, validation and verification. The Verification and Validation of FMN Spiral 1.1 was relatively simple, as the number of standardized interfaces as well as number of Affiliates was not large. Bilateral and multi-lateral test events were conducted as needed, using semi-automated tools and techniques. With the rapid growth of Affiliates joining the Coalition Verification and Validation Environment (CIAV CV2E), and the complexity of new Spirals, the assurance, verification and validation (AV&V) process can benefit significantly from introducing a Reference Implementation of the FMN Services (RIFS), and adopting modern DevSecOps tools and techniques for FMN environment virtualization and automation. The Intelligence Requirement Management and Collection Management (IRM&CM) processes (IRM&CM) addresses the management of requirements and the management of data collection. Often, mostly in the coalition environment the planning of the utilization of the sensor platforms is carried out by different organizations and the efficiency of this approach is sub-optimal. Today, the level of automation and maturity of assets planning processes varies amongst coalition members, and holistic automated, optimized approach to planning is not as efficient as today’s technological advances would facilitate for. Particularly, scheduling of Collection and Exploitation Requirements and their allocation to resources is slow & manpower intensive.

BACKGROUND The newly established ACT Innovation Lab (IL) will provide service to the FMN community by offering the hosted FMN Reference Experimentation Platform together with test automation tools, thus making these resources available on the Internet, not only to the Affiliates, but also to Industry and Academia partners. As of now, most of the verification and validation activities for FMN are conducted on the CFBLNet network to which access is limited, and which lacks a Reference Implementation. The Innovation Lab will provide a reference implementation of FMN Services in a highly automated testing environment for compliance verification and validation. This capability will not only be available to FMN Affiliates, but also to Industry, Academia and other organizations, in order to increase FMN’s outreach and enable the contribution of non-traditional partners to FMN capability development. The environment will be easily portable to CFBLNet where formal AV&V takes place, and from which further deployment of required services to FMN-compliant Mission Networks is possible. HQ SACT is seeking contract support for DevSecOps Engineers and Full-Stack Developers to support the development of the FMN Experimental Platform and the JISR Asset Planning Application. The developers will be embedded within ACT Innovation Lab team and will follow agile methodology to develop required application in incremental, user-centric fashion. The ACT Innovation lab team will follow rapid development cycles, each resulting in Minimum Viable Product, deployable in sandbox environment, and demonstrable to end-users.
