The Threat is growing creating more stress on the defense where time factor is key
NATO Interoperability through L16 JRE Network is on its way. NATO and the Nations
called for more cooperation on MD, more interoperability and operational readiness.
Multifunction sensors are available or in development. They could be networked into clusters under L16 Network to
increase the systems capacity and the resilience

Includes National Caveats
▌ Rules for a Cluster:
Cluster declaration: National C²
▌ Within cluster:
Declaration of services
- Modes, rotating, starring
- Mission: tracking search
- Performances assessment
- NCTR capabilities
Smart sensor management
- Sensor load management
- Priority targets management
- Environment adaptation
- Re acquisition
- Multi radar tracking
FLEXIBLE: SCALABLE, INTEGRABLE, SEPARABLE CLUSTERS
• Cooperative= exchange of data between nation A and nation B sensors
• Integrative= exchange of services inside a cluster with nation A and B sensors

Expected Improvement aimed by sensors clusters
Avoid Saturation of MFR sensors due to raids
Clusters are not permanent, deployed, set or separated according to plans
creating multinational effective weapons –sensors associations
Increase the synergy of resources applied to search, track, discrimination
Balance the saturation of one function by another sensor
Improve the accuracy of tracking and fire control (more resources focused)
Improve the range (harmonization of EM resources allocated to detection; tracking,..)
Maximize the battlespace
Improve timing, reactivity and engagement timeline
Improve resilience to threat by spreading resources and enhancing subsidiarity:
Multifrequency, mutilsensors, multiple sources (multi static)

Benefit to the nations
Improve the interactivity between sensors for Air&Missile Defense
Add a new level of cooperation and interoperability between nations
compatible with NATO BMC3
Such sensor networking could be used also for other partners and friendly nations when
decided
Enhancement of sensors/ weapons systems intrinsic performances, flexibility, adaptibility
and robustness to the threat
Increase the capacity of MFR systems thanks to a better use of EM resources
Take advantage of sensors clusters as a flexible network that can be adapted to
operational and political context

Benefit to Industry

Common data exchange will improve the performance of modular systems
Improve the performance and offer options to combine different technologies and systems
with their specificities while meeting interfaces standards
Improve final cost effectiveness fo the sensors and systems in clusters including existing systems
Facilitate access to market by making sensors compatible
Take advantages of other studies and efforts, eg:
Maritime TMD Forum BMC4I WG and work related to plot level data and fusion
NATO BMD SE&I
STANAG 5535/ ADatP-35 developement efforts
Studies conducted by Science and Study groups on MFR radars
