- Title
- MIP4 Profile
- Description
- The Land C2 Information MIP4 Profile provides standards and guidance to support the exchange of Command and Control information within a coalition network or a federation of networks.

Guidance
The MIP4 profile should be used primarily for the exchange of Battlespace Objects (BSOs); this profile is not intended to support high volume, high frequency updates such as Friendly Force Tracking (FFT). Nor is it intended to support the exchange of data over tactical bearers (with limited capacity and intermittent availability).
The MIP interoperability specification comprises both a mandatory technical interface specification as well as implementation guidance documents, and is available on the MIP website (https //www.mip-interop.org). The minimum iteration for MIP4 implementation is MIP4.3 (and MIP4.3 is the basis for the capabilities covered by the Spiral 4 Specification). However, as the MIP4 specification supports inter-version compatibility, later iterations of MIP4 (i.e. MIP4.4+) are expected to remain interoperable with MIP4.3.
The suite of guidance documents includes the MIP Operating Procedures (MOP), which provides technical procedures for configuration/operation of MIP 4.3 interfaces in a coalition environment.
