Members of Cybernetica's SDMMS team recently participated in the NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXercise (CWIX) to advance testing of the upcoming military mobility platform. The participation focused on evaluating technical and semantic interoperability between LOGFAS EVE and the SDMMS platform.

During the exercise, SDMMS was successfully deployed and utilised by military personnel from the United States, Finland, and Estonia in a completely air-gapped environment, ensuring complete network isolation from external connections including the public internet. This secure deployment approach underscored the solution's capability to operate in complex and protected military environments.

The interoperability testing yielded significant results, proving that SDMMS and LOGFAS systems can effectively integrate and operate together in heterogeneous technology environments. The testing validated compliance with interoperability standards required by the LOGFAS EVE interface, ensuring seamless system integration across different military platforms.

“The CWIX participation provided invaluable real-world feedback from military users,” said Arne Ansper SDMMS Project Lead. “We gathered critical insights that will enhance the user experience and inform new feature development for future releases.”

The testing phase enabled early identification and resolution of potential compatibility and stability issues, significantly reducing the risk of operational disruptions and data loss in deployment scenarios. This proactive approach is expected to minimise post-deployment costs and enhance overall system reliability.

One of the project’s larger goals is to spike implementation interest among NATO members currently not a part of the consortium, and the demo at CWIX proved this goal to be achievable. Belgium, Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, Poland, France, Romania, Germany, the UK and several NATO representatives were all a part of the SDMMS demo at the exercise, with the former two countries, as well as Finland, expressing actionable implementation interest.

“We are happy to see more countries recognising the value of SDMMS. With Belgium, Finland and Sweden on board, SDMMS is set to be launched in at least 14 countries altogether,” said Ansper.

About SDMMS

SDMMS addresses the complex challenge of Cross-Border Movement Permission (CBMP) procedures in Europe, which have been established to harmonise and simplify military movement across borders. The digital platform streamlines administrative processes, reducing permission timeframes from several months to just days while maintaining strict security standards. The solution incorporates modern information security practices and utilises Cybernetica’s Unified eXchange Platform (UXP) for secure interoperability: a system proven effective during the war in Ukraine. SDMMS provides comprehensive functionality for annual permission processes and NATO Form 302 procedures, representing a significant advancement in military mobility digitalisation.
