Opera&onalizing the RAP – NRDC-‐ESP’s perspec&ve: Lessons learned (or to be relearned) from opera&ons NITEC 15, MADRID 05th MAY 2015 LTG (ESP A) RAFAEL COMAS COMMANDER NRDC-‐ESP Thank you for the opportunity to
address
-‐  NRDC-‐ESP’s opera&onal perspec&ve (including lessons learned from opera&ons) and -‐  how industry can contribute to opera&onalizing the Readiness Ac&on Plan (RAP) -‐  before the 2016 WARSAW Summit. THE WALES SUMMIT MANDATE
Enhance the responsiveness of our NATO Response
Force (NRF)
PLUG & PLAY As part of the NRF, we will establish a Very High Readiness

-‐  NATO mobile PoP nedeed ???????? -‐  Plug & play (interoperability & security) -‐  Smaller & mobile CPs -‐ NO SAME FAS THAN HIGHER ECHELONS just simple formats to send INFO to be integrated / elaborated in higher echelons and ability to receive from them elaborated INFO (SECURITY) -‐  Gateways with other BMS / FFT needed (STEADFAST COBALT ???) -‐  Change security mindset -‐ RISK MANAGEMENT versus RISK AVOIDANCE. -‐  Combat radios interoperability -‐ 
Best short term solu+on (…before the WARSAW summit) to use NRF package as it is to provide the ENHANCED NRF: THREE STAR LEVEL HQ PLUS VJTF BDE FROM THE SAME NATION and try to solve as many ques/ons as we can during STEADFAST COBALT -‐  Crucial role of NCI Agency Final thinking for industry We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
