NATO APP-6(C)

Abstract

This standard provides common operational symbology along with details on its display and plotting to ensure the compatibility, and to the greatest extent possible, the interoperability of NATO Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems, development, operations, and training. This publication offers a way to address the efficient transmission of symbology information within the info-sphere through the use of a standard methodology for symbol hierarchy, information taxonomy, and symbol identifiers. The standard applies to both electronic/automated and hand-drawn graphic displays. These symbols are designed to enhance NATO's joint interoperability by providing a standard set of common C4I symbols. It is important to remember that the graphics of this document are not all inclusive, and other standards may apply. Additional symbol sets will be provided when this document is updated. <br><strong>Purpose</strong> <br>Allied Procedural Publication 6 (B) (APP-6B) replaces APP-6A. The contents of APP-6B constitute a single system of joint military symbology for formations and units, which can be displayed for either electronic/automated map display systems or for manual map marking. This publication covers all of the joint services and shall be used by them.
