JISR Institute, a.s. shall demonstrate the integration of ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and EW (Electronic Warfare) systems within the NATO environment. The demonstration combines data from different data sources such as CESMO (Co-operative Electronic Support Measures Operations), Link 16 via JREAP-C (The Joint Range Extension Applications Protocol) or ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast). Data are collected, aggregated and fused into C-EOB (Common Electronic Order of Battle) which is shared within ISR enterprise via CSD (Coalition Shared Database), resp. NSILI (NATO Standard ISR Library Interface). The resulting EW information is fused in the ISR environment with information from other intelligence branches such as imagery (IMINT) and the resulting ISR products are shared among allied partners.

CESMO enables coordination and fusion of data from the electromagnetic spectrum sensors, across an agile tactical network. CESMO is standardized as STANAG 4658 and AEDP-13 which defines the processes and standardized message set to enable rapid data and information sharing.
The object of NSILI, aka as CSD is to promote interoperability for the exchange of NATO ISR products. NSILI/CSD provides a standard interface for publishing, querying, accessing and synchronisation heterogeneous ISR product libraries maintained by NATO and Nations. CSD is also used as final storage for AGS (Alliance Ground Surveillance) data and information.
