miplogo.gif (22041 bytes) The purpose of this Site is to provide the general public with information about the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP).  By following the topical links, you will find information about various facets of the programme.  In addition, you are invited to contact any of the member nations in order to get more detailed information about the programme.
MIP was established by the Project Managers of the army Command and Control Information Systems (C2IS) of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States of America in April 1998 in Calgary, Canada, to replace and enhance two previous programmes: BIP (Battlefield Interoperability Programme for Lower Echelon Command and Control Systems) and QIP (Quadrilateral Interoperability Programme). The aim of these programmes were to achieve interoperability between their national army C2IS at battalion and below level for the BIP and brigade to corps level for the QIP, using fielded, secure, tactical communication systems.

The aim of MIP is to achieve international interoperability of Command and Control Information Systems (C2IS) at all levels from corps to battalion, or lowest appropriate level, in order to support multinational, combined and joint operations and the advancement of digitisation in the international arena including NATO.
