PREFACE 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 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) command and control systems, operations, and training and is intended to be equally applicable to operations conducted by a coalition of NATO, partners, non-NATO nations or other organisations. This new edition reflects a baseline of agreed changes, provides additional symbols, and reflects the harmonization initialised with all services. Allied Procedural Publication–6(D) (APP-6(D)) focuses on the building block nature of military symbols. It contains Figures and Tables that provide the user with standard frames, icons, modifiers, and amplifiers using colour, graphic and alphanumeric representations along with guidelines for their use. It is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate further change, development and input from the operators and users. Changes to these symbols and the addition of new symbol sets will be worked through NATO procedures.

CHAPTER 1 MILITARY SYMBOLS 1.1.

INTRODUCTION

1.1.1. Scope This publication provides a single standardized, structured set of graphical symbols for the display of information in military systems and applications. A standard method for symbol construction is provided using common building blocks which shall be used to create current symbol sets as well as for creating sets that may be needed in future1. 1.1.2. Purpose 1. The purpose of this publication is to establish a common standard for the design, development and use of symbols depicting joint military activities. The publication aims to enable a standard visual portrayal for all command and control (C2) symbols and control measure symbols. 2. In command and control of military operations, the reality of the displayed operational picture, its correct assessment and the decision-making speed are decisive factors. In joint military operations, it is imperative to have a common language clearly understood among all users. Graphical representation of objects, commands, movements and additional information (including alphanumeric text and colours) are observed and readily understood faster than merely text alone. This is valid even more for a user population with a widely different background of language, component, knowledge and experience. A common standard of joint military symbols is therefore an important element to enhance efficiency and contribute to success in joint operations. 1.1.3. Applicability 1. APP-6 applies to both electronic/automated and hand-drawn graphic displays, both multi-coloured and monochrome. It is however accepted that automated systems are capable of creating more complicated graphics than can useably be hand-drawn. As a result of this constraint, there are a number of symbols that are accepted as being primarily for machine-to-machine (M2M) exchange of graphics. These are identified in the symbol and SIDC Tables using the entry "M2M" in the Remarks column. 2. APP-6 shall be used by all NATO forces involved in operations, for system development, and training. It aims to serve as the basic standard building set for The building block approach does not apply to the symbol sets in Chapter 3 - Section II “Land Equipment Symbols”, Chapter 8 “Control Measure Symbols”, and Chapter 9 “Meteorological Symbols“. 1

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) future NATO implementations of symbol sets used in manual applications and electronic display systems. Any nation that wishes to achieve Symbology interoperability with NATO is required to use the same standard. 1.1.4. Content 1. This publication provides building blocks for the standard composition of symbols. This includes frame, icon, amplifier and modifier using colour, graphic and alphanumeric representations. It gives detailed standards and requirements for symbol construction and composition with a certain degree of flexibility for special user’s needs. 2. The symbol set encompasses the graphic representation of units, equipment, installations, and other elements and activities relevant to joint military operations. It contains the building blocks for joint military symbols from the Dimensions Air (Chapter 2), Land (Chapter 3), Dismounted Individual (Chapter 4), Maritime (Chapter 5), Space (Chapter 6) and the display of Stability Activities and Civil Support Activities (Chapter 7). 3. In addition, APP-6 contains listed standardized symbols and Figures for control measures (Chapter 8) and elements of the International Standardization Organization (ISO) Meteorological Symbol Set (Chapter 9). 1.1.5.

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 1.1.6. Military Symbology Objective 1. The objective of graphical joint military symbols is to convey information about the object being depicted. Objects can either be physical (units, equipment, installations and meteorological occurrences) or non-physical (planning, control measures) or anticipated locations with temporarily assigned characteristics or temporary validity. Additionally, symbols are also used to convey activities and operations for stability and civil support activities. 2. While the focus of this publication is the display of symbols in modern multichromatic electronic systems, all symbols must be usable in monochromatic systems and as hand-drawn symbols. The need to reduce information cluttering on a tactical display underlines the requirement of symbol display options with the possibility of reducing size and displayed information of symbols. 1.2.

DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

Icon-based symbols represent units, equipment, installations, and activities from all Dimensions. An icon-based symbol is a composition of a frame, fill, icon, modifiers, and amplifiers (see Figure 1-2). These components are located within and around a bounding octagon (see Figure 1-4). A symbol provides information about the Standard Identity, operational environment, status, and mission of an operational object.

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 1.2.1. Frame 1. The frame is the border of a symbol. The frame serves as the base to which other symbol components are added and normally surrounds an icon. Frames are required with some icons but not for others. When a frame is included in a symbol, its shape indicates the Standard Identity, Dimension, and Status of the object shall be represented as shown in Table 1-1. A frame can be black or white depending on display background, or it can be coloured using the default colours in Table 1-6, to provide enhanced presentation information about Standard Identity. a. Standard Identity. In imagery interpretation, identity is the discrimination between objects within a particular type or class. Standard Identity reflects the relationship between the viewer and the operational object being monitored. (1) The Standard Identity categories are Unknown, Assumed Friend, Friend, Neutral, Suspect, and Hostile (see Table 1-1). (2) A closed frame is used to denote the Land and Sea Surface Dimensions, a frame open at the bottom to denote the Air and Space Dimensions, and a frame open at the top to denote the Subsurface Dimension. (3) A solid line is used when the identity of an entity is certain. A solid line can be used with the standard identifies of Friend, Hostile, Neutral and Unknown. (4) A dotted line of alternating black and white dots is used when the identity of an entity is uncertain. A dotted line can be used with the standard identifies of Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the category of Pending. Figure 1-3 shows the display of black and white dotted lines on various backgrounds. (5) Standard Identity is not applicable to Meteorological Oceanographic (METOC) symbols.


Edition D Version 1


Figure 1-3: Examples of Black and White Dotted Lines on Various Backgrounds. b. Dimension. A Dimension commonly reflects the physical environment within which the primary mission of the object is conducted or the entity is located. An object can have a mission area on, above or below the earth's surface (is divided into land or sea) or outside the earth's atmosphere. (1) The land surface Dimensions (Land Unit, Land Equipment and Land Installation) are those which are physically located on the land surface or close to the surface (e.g., land mines and underground shelters). (2) The Sea Surface Dimension includes only those objects which are on the sea surface. However, a landing craft whose primary mission is to fight on land is categorized as Land Equipment. (3) The Subsurface Dimension includes those objects which are below the sea surface (e.g., submarines and sea mines). (4) Aircraft, regardless of service ownership, shall be depicted in the Air Dimension while air facilities shall be depicted as Land Installations. Air related ground equipment and installations shall be depicted in the Land Equipment or Installation Dimensions. (5) Activity/Event, Unknown and Dismounted Individual are categorised as Dimensions despite not having a direct relationship to a specific physical environment.

Edition D Version 1


c. Status. Status is used to express the location state of an entity. Status can be "Present" or "Confirmed", "Planned" or "Anticpated" or "Suspected" (see Table 1-2). (1) The symbol frame shall be a solid line when indicating a status of "Present" or "Confirmed". (2) The symbol frame shall be a dashed line when indicating a status of "Anticipated", "Planned", or "Suspected". (3) Status will not be displayed when the Standard Identity of the frame is uncertain as is the case for Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the category of Pending. In these cases, the Frame is depicted as a dotted line. (4) Status cannot be shown when the symbol is unframed or is displayed as a dot. DIMENSION SPACE STATUS

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) g. Modifiers. A modifier provides an alphanumeric or abstract pictorial representation that is displayed in conjunction with an icon. It provides additional information about the icon being displayed. Modifiers conform to the bounding octagon and are placed either above, below or beside the icon. h. Amplifiers. An amplifier optionally provides additional information about the symbol being portrayed and is displayed outside the frame. The generic placement of amplifier fields is shown in Figure 1-4. (1) Amplifier fields vary by dimension. The default placement of amplifiers fields is specifcied in the subsequent chapters. (2) To reduce display cluttering, only use minimum essential amplifiers.

Figure 1-4: Standard amplifier fields. (3) The operational condition amplifier provides a graphic representation of an entity’s (equipment or installation) operational condition (see Table 1-3). An alternative operational condition colour representation is shown in Table 1-4. Using the alternate colour representation of Table 1-4 allows the condition of "Full to Capacity" to be expressed.

The bounding octagon serves as the spatial reference for placement of icons and modifiers within the frame of a symbol (see Figure 1-10). It is divided into three sectors specify where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. 3. Full frame icons occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the octagon and touch the interior border of the frame. Most icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the, but full frame icons are exceptions to this size rule (examples see Figure 1-8). Full frame icons occur only in the Land Dimension and Dismounted Individual Dimension (see Chapter 3 and 4). Friendly

Control 1-12 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) measure symbols provide graphical operational information that cannot be displayed via icon based symbols alone. a. Control Measure symbols can be displayed as points, lines, areas or tactical mission tasks (for examples see Figure 1-9), and can be combined with other symbols, icons and modifiers. b. Control Measure symbols do not follow the same building rules as the icon based symbols but shall be built in accordance with the rules related to the individual Control Measure symbol groups. 2. Colour usage is dependent on the system display background. Monochrome systems will use black or white, and colour systems can use black, blue (friendly), red (hostile), green (obstacles), or yellow (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) contaminated area fill). Description, placement and further details of control measure symbols are addressed in Chapter 8.

Symbol frame sizes shall be as depicted in Table 1-5.

2.

The minimum diameter of a dot should be 0.15L.

3. Icons must not be so large as to touch the interior border of the frame. Only full frame icons are an exception to this sizing rule because they occupy the entire symbol and must therefore touch the interior border of the frame (see Figure 1-7).

Subsurface frames

Regular octagon forms the basis of frame sizing.

Table 1-5: Relative Symbol Frame Sizes. 4. The frame size shall be determined in relation to an octagon defining the outer boundary for all icons. “L” is the default length and height of the octagon (See Table 1-5). a. Frame length and height may vary from 1.0L to 1.5L, depending on the particular shape. b. The dimensions of unframed icons should be the same as framed icons. 5. The relative dimensions for the sectors in the building octagon shall be as shown in Figure 1-10.


Edition D Version 1


Figure 1-10: Bounding Octagon Sector Dimensions. 6. It is critical that the line width is sufficient to ensure frame legibility and discriminability at normal viewing distance. The optimum line width may differ depending on frame size and be affected by whether the frame is filled or unfilled and displayed in colour or black/white. Usability testing should be performed to identify the optimum rendering for a given implementation. 7. Table 1-6 contains the default colurs for use within this standard. Colour saturation may need to vary depending on the display option(s) selected. For example, to ensure optimum symbol discriminability, different shades of red may be needed in a frame-only symbol as compared to the colour fill in a symbol with a black frame and icon.

CHAPTER 2 AIR SYMBOLS 2.1.

SCOPE

This chapter covers symbols for air assets and their activities. Air installations and headquarters are covered in Chapter 3 “Land Symbols”, while airspace coordination and planning is part of Chapter 8 “Control Measures Symbols.” 2.2.

AIR OPERATIONS SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS

1. Air assets use the third dimension in order to create effects that contribute to the achievement of joint force commander objectives. Reach, speed and manoeuvrability are some of their inherent capabilities. 2. To depict in near real time large areas with fast moving airspace users manoeuvring within all three dimensions, the following specific requirements for the air picture production have to be met: a.

The picture has to be updated near real time.

b. Vectors have to be provided in order to help to anticipate movement of own, neutral and hostile objects. c. Wherever known, relevant data like “aircraft type,” “call sign,” “mission,” “origin,” “destination” etc. have to be affiliated to the objects without cluttering the display. d. Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to controllers. e. The display contains a multitude of non-military moving objects (civil aircraft); airspace control and de-confliction means; fire support coordination means; and installations (e.g. airfields). 2.3.

BUILDING AIR SYMBOLS

2.3.1. General 1. This section establishes a single standard for developing air symbols. It includes a variety of air related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building symbols. However, no attempt to depict all possible air symbols has been made, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all air standard identities defined in STANAG 1241.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 2. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any desired unit can be depicted using the logical sequence provided in this chapter. a.

When representing not yet defined units, select the most appropriate symbol combination contained herein.

b.

Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols that differ from those laid down in this publication.

c.

If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an accompanying legend.

2.3.2. Air Symbol Composition. An air symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon, modifiers, and amplifiers (Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1: Air Symbol Composition. 2.3.3. Air Symbol Composition Process Table 2-1 provides the steps used to build air symbols. Step No.

Table 2-1: Air Symbol Composition Process. 2.3.4. Amplifier Fields 1. The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e. on identity, location and movement, capabilities. Figure 2-2 shows the placement of amplifier fields around an air symbol frame. The placement of the label is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation.


Edition D Version 1


Figure 2-2: Air Symbol Amplifier Fields. 2. In comparison to amplifier fields for land symbols, air amplifier fields – constitute a reduction in the amount of information displayed. 3.

On the tactical display: a. Information about a displayed object is conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding. There may be additional information that cannot be conveyed by graphical means, but by written (alphanumerical) information only. b. Information can be displayed either in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen, a method that forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be considered further in this text, or by use of amplifier fields. c. Label is not shown in default mode. It is the user’s task to define and call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the user must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce screen clutter and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation. Table 2-2 provides a list of amplifier field content for air symbols and Table 2-3 provides a list of amplifier field content for weapons (missiles) in flight symbols.

CHAPTER 3 LAND SYMBOLS 3.1.

Scope

As stated in Chapter 1, there are basic elements in the building of military symbols that are common to all environments. This chapter elaborates on those common elements, and is divided into three sections. Section 3.2 provides the basics for building land unit, individual, and organization symbols. Section 3.3 provides the basics for building land equipment symbols. Section 3.4 provides the basics for building land installation symbols. 3.1.1. Land Symbol Hierarchy Figure 3-1 shows the land symbol hierarchy sets generated to support planning and conduct of land operations.

3.2.3. General 1. This section establishes a single standard for developing land unit, individual, and organization symbols (Individuals and organizations are civilian based). It includes a wide variety of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building a wide variety of symbols. However, no attempt has been made to depict all possible combinations, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all standard identities for units, and civilian organizations. 2. These land symbols are based on a hand drawn system that has been in use for many years. As this system has been further developed for use for computer generated graphics, the number of departures from standard rules has become apparent to users. The user should be aware of this fact when using this system.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 3. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any desired symbol can be developed using the logical sequence provided in this chapter. a. When representing unorthodox units, and civilian organizations, select the most appropriate symbol contained herein. b. Avoid using any symbols or combinations and modifications of symbols that differ from those in this publication. c. If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may have difficulty in passing non-standard symbols. 3.3.

Land Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition

A unit, individual, or organization symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon, modifier, and amplifiers (Figure 3-2).

FRAME

ICON MODIFIER Figure 3-2: Land Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition

3.3.1 Land Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition Process Table 3-1 provides the steps used to build unit symbols. STEP DESCRIPTION 1. Choose the frame that matches the Standard Identity and land symbol type of the object from the land columns in Tables I, II, or III. In this example, the Standard Identity is friend and the land symbol type is unit.

EXAMPLE

The example depicts a “friendly unit.”


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) STEP DESCRIPTION 2. Choose an icon for the symbol. In this example, the icon is “infantry,” a land entity type. The infantry icon is a full frame icon; therefore, the friend version of the infantry icon shall be used with the friend frame. If the frame were hostile, then the hostile version of the infantry icon would be used.

EXAMPLE

The example depicts a “friendly infantry unit.” 3.

If required, choose a modifier to depict an additional characteristic of the icon. In this example, the modifier is “airborne,” a sector 2 modifier. The example depicts a “friendly airborne infantry unit.”

4.

The finished symbol will appear as shown in the example.

Table 3-1. Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition Process.

3.3.2. Amplifier Fields 1. The purpose of amplifier fields is to standardize the display of additional alphanumerical information that graphically describes a units, and provides additional information on capabilities, status, location, etc. Figure 3-4 shows the placement of unit icon, modifier, and amplifier fields around the friendly land unit symbol frame. The placement of unit icon, modifier, and amplifier information fields is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. See Section 1.2., in Chapter 1 for a fuller discussion of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers.

Table 3-2: Description Amplifier Fields for Unit Symbols. 3.2.4. Icon and Modifier Placement inside Octagon. Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers within the octagon. The octagon is divided into three sectors that specify 3-7 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. Figure 3-3 provides examples showing the sectors for each of the frame shape types. The lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary based on the number of letters used.

Figure 3-3. Location of Icons and Modifiers.

3.3.4. Main Icon Procedural Requirements 1. Icons in the main sector (Figure 3-5) normally reflect the main function of the symbol, but in some cases can also reflect modifying information (e.g., armoured engineers). In most cases, the dimensions of the icon will be sized to occupy as much area in the main sector as is available. However, in some cases the icon may be reduced to allow more room for modifiers for better recognition or to allow for one icon to modify another (e.g., armoured/self-propelled artillery).


Edition D Version 1


Figure 3-5: Main Icons Sector. 2. Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. The only exception to the octagon size rule are the full frame icons. Full frame icons can occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the octagon main sector, and touch the interior border of the frame. The diagonal lines used for full frames icons such as infantry, reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be angled to conform to the shape of the frame. Figure 3-6 displays the usage and placement of a full frame icon.

LAND EQUIPMENT SYMBOLS

Equipment is all non-expendable items that are needed to outfit or equip an individual or organization. 3-72 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Edition D Version 1


3.4.1. General 1. This section establishes a single standard for developing land equipment symbols. It provides a wide selection of land equipment icons with a standard method for constructing land equipment symbols. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any land equipment symbol can be developed using the logical sequence provided in this chapter. 2. The symbols shown in this section are adequate for depicting hostile units. Avoid using any symbol that differs from those in this publication. 3. If, after searching doctrinal icons, it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may have difficulty in passing non-standard symbols. 3.4.2. Equipment Symbol Composition 1. Land equipment symbols are normally composed of a frame which is optional, colour (fill), equipment icon, modifier, and text or graphic amplifiers (see Figure 3-12). 2. Icons and modifiers for equipment are displayed differently for weapons systems and vehicles. 3. Most of the icons fill the entire frame and their size modifier is part of the icon, normally located in the main sector. 4.

The mobility is shown outside the frame as a graphic amplifier.

5. A non-standard symbol is used for the building section to show a similar pattern for development while showing the variation of this legacy system.

Table 3-16: Description of Icon, Modifier, and Amplifier Fields for Equipment Symbols. 3.4.5. Equipment Icons and Modifiers Placement inside Octagon.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 1. Land equipment symbols use the octagon as described in chapter 1 in section 1.2.2., and as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers. Those icons and modifiers will not extend outside the boundaries of the octagon (See Figure 3-14).

Figure 3-14: Icon Placement for Full Frame Icons. 2. Most equipment icons are full frame icons. However, there are exceptions to full frame equipment icons and those will be in the main sector (Figure 3-15). Friendly frames (circles) are used in Table 3-17 simply to illustrate the framed location of equipment icons. The frame shape appropriate to the equipment being displayed would normally be used in practice.

If an equipment symbol has no lines, it is a basic equipment symbol. Adding one line designates it as light or short-range. Adding two lines designates it as medium or medium-range. Finally, adding three lines designates it as heavy or long-range. (See Table 3-19)

LAND INSTALLATION SYMBOLS

Installations are sites that incorporate permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary structures. 3.5.1. General This chapter establishes a single standard system for the development of a variety of installation symbols. Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols, different from those in this publication. If, after searching the doctrinal symbols and modifiers in this publication, a new symbol must be created, explain it in an accompanying legend. 3.5.2. Installation Symbols Composition and Process 1. An installation symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), installation icon, text or graphic modifiers (Figure 3-17), and text or graphic amplifiers.

Figure 3-17. Installation Symbol Composition. 2.

Table 3-20 below outlines the steps used to build installation symbols.

CHAPTER 4 DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOLS 4.1.

GENERAL

This chapter establishes a single standard for developing land symbols representing individuals. It provides a selection of icons capable of depicting dismounted soldiers and other individuals with a standard construction method. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any symbol of an individual can be developed using the logical sequence provided in this chapter. 4.2.

DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOL COMPOSITION

A land symbol for an individual soldier is normally composed of a frame which is optional, colour (fill), icon, modifiers, and text or graphic amplifiers (see Figure 4-1). (See Table 4-1 for the steps used to build land soldier symbols.)

Figure 4-1: Dismounted Individual Symbol Composition.


Edition D Version 1


4.2.1. Dismounted Individual Symbol Composition Process Table 4-1 provides the steps used to build dismounted individual symbols.

Step #

Step

Step 1.

First choose the frame that matches the Standard Identity of the land soldier symbol (friendly, hostile, neutral). In this example, the Standard Identity is friendly and the equipment is Machine Gun.

Example

Friendly Soldier Dismounted Individual Symbol Frame Shapes and Standard Identity STANDARD FRIENDLY HOSTILE NEUTRAL UNKNOWN ASSUMED SUSPECT PENDING IDENTY FRIEND FRAME


Edition D Version 1


Step #

Step

Step 2.

Then choose the basic icon for field “A.” In this example, it is the icon Rifle. (See Figure 9-6 and Table 9-6)

Step 3.

If needed, choose the sector 1 modifier. In this example, it is the modifier “Squad” (See Table 9-7.).

Example

Friendly Soldier with Rifle

Friendly Soldier with Rifle from Squad Step 4.

If needed, choose the sector 2 modifier. In this example, it is the rank code “OR-7” (See Table 9-7.).

Friendly Soldier, Rank OR-7, with Rifle from Squad


Edition D Version 1


Step #

Step

Step 5

Choose the leadership indicator amplifier for field “D.” In this example, the leadership indicator amplifier is “Leader” (See Table 9-9.).

Example

Friendly Soldier, Rank OR-7, Squad Leader with Rifle Step 6

Choose text amplifiers as necessary to provide further information. In this example, the text amplifier indicates the higher formation.

4.2.3. Dismounted Individual Icons and Modifiers Placement inside Octagon Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers within the octagon. The octagon is divided into three sectors that specify where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. Figure 4-3 provides examples showing the sector for each of the frame shape types. The lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary based on the number of letters used.

4.2.4. Dismounted Individual Main Icons 1. Icons in the main sector (Figure 4-4) normally reflect the main function of the symbol, but in some cases can also reflect modifying information (e.g., armoured engineers). In most cases, the dimensions of the icon will be sized to occupy as much area in the main sector as is available. However, in some cases the icon may be reduced to allow more room for modifiers for better recognition (see Figure 4-5).


Edition D Version 1

Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. The only exception to the octagon size rule are the full frame icons. Full frame icons can occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the octagon main sector, and touch the interior border of the frame. The diagonal lines used for full frames icons such as infantry, reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be angled to conform to the shape of the frame. 3. Table 4-3 below provides an example listing of full frame icons for use in symbols of soldiers and other individuals.

CHAPTER 5 MARITIME SYMBOLS 5.1.

SCOPE

This chapter covers symbols for operations in the maritime Dimension, and establishes a single standard and the basics for building maritime symbols for maritime Dimension symbols 5.1.1. Maritime Dimension Symbol Characteristics 1. The maritime Dimension is composed of the sea surface and subsurface battle dimensions. 2. In the maritime Dimension, a ship is both a unit and equipment, and is normally represented by a surface or subsurface icon with equipment frame. Nonmanned equipment exists at the surface and in the subsurface dimension in stationary or moving sensor carriers autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) or stationary or moving weapons (mines and torpedoes). 3. The surface dimension contains a multitude of non-military ships and stationary objects (e.g. oil rigs), which are the primary objects of military operations (protect, control, deny, access, and destroy). 5.1.2. General 1. The chapter is divided into two sections. Section I covers sea surface symbols and Section II sea subsurface symbols. Each section contains both military and non-military, civilian symbols. The symbols are, accordingly subdivided into: a.

Surface warfare units, equipment and objects.

b.

Subsurface warfare units, equipment and objects.

2. Maritime control measure symbols (points, lines, areas, commands, standard positions, emergencies, hazards and sonobuoys) are shown in Chapter 5. 5.2.

SEA SURFACE SYMBOLS

5.2.1. Symbol Subset Structure The units, equipment, and objects of maritime surface operations as described in paragraph 5.1.2., are further subdivided in:


Edition D Version 1

d.

Task organization units military.

e.

Non-combatants /auxiliaries and service craft.

Non-military objects (ships, boats and installations).

5.2.2. Sea Surface Symbol Composition 1. A sea surface symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icons (pictogram and/or letters), modifiers and amplifiers (Figure 5-1).

Table 5-1: Sea Surface Symbol Composition Process.

5.2.3. Main Icons and Modifiers 1. To ensure that all icons and modifiers can be depicted in all standard identities, they must fit into the boundaries of the octagon presented in Figure 5-2 and adhere to the rules provided in Chapter 1. 2. Main icons shall be placed within the “MAIN” sector of the bounding octagon. Icons may be re-sized accordingly due to the presence or absence of modifiers in order to optimise legibility. Icons may be single icons or compound icons. 3. Modifiers may be placed above (octagon sector 1) and below (octagon sector 2) of the icon (see Figure 5-2). Only one modifier may be placed within sector 1 or 2 at a given time. Multiple modifiers in the same position are prohibited due to legibility concerns.

5.2.4. Sea Surface Amplifiers. 1. The purpose of the amplifiers described in this section is to standardize the display of additional alphanumerical information on identity, movement and location, capabilities, etc. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object is conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding. 2. The set of amplifiers for sea surface symbols including object name, position, speed, and time, shall be displayed in the five standard amplifier scheme fields to the right of the symbol. The speed leader is a dynamic amplifier that depicts the speed and direction of movement (course) and originates from the centre of the object. The length of the speed leader corresponds to the speed of the object. Figure 5-3 shows the placement of amplifiers with a symbol frame. The placement of the amplifier is the same regardless of frame shape or Standard Identity.

Figure 5-3: Sea Surface symbol amplifier fields. 3. Maritime Dimension symbol amplifiers require a reduced amount of information to be displayed in one position relative to the symbol as compared to Land Symbols (see Chapter 3). Maritime amplifiers shall be placed to the immediate right of the symbol as opposed to separate positions surrounding it. 4. The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means. 5-6 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Edition D Version 1


a.

Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.

b. Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen. This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be considered further in this text. 5. In the default mode, the amplifier is not shown. It is the user’s task to define and call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the user must be enabled to suppress the amplifier to reduce screen clutter and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation. 6. Table 5-4 provides the possibilities of information display for military and nonmilitary surface objects by amplifiers.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 5.2.5.

Sea Surface Main Icons

1. The 2- and 3-letter codes used in the military sea surface icons are in accordance with STANAG 1166 (Edition 7). 2.

Non-military, civilian sea surface icons: a. Displayed with a Standard Identity colour frame, but a white symbol icon to differentiate from military units. b. The single letter codes used within the merchant ship icons are derived from the STANAG 1166 as the 3rd letter specifying the type of the merchant ship. c. Other types of non-military surface vessels, the icons/letter codes of the symbol were chosen without STANAG reference. d. In order to enable the operator to “de-clutter” a large display, civilian symbols may be displayed in reduced-size symbols without a frame but with their Standard Identity colour.

3.

The symbols of Tables 5-5 through 5-18 are shown in the bounding octagon.

4.

Table 5-5 below list the main icon for Military and Civilian Vessels/Ships.

CHAPTER 6 SPACE SYMBOLS 6.1.

SCOPE

This chapter covers symbols for space assets, related activities and other relevant objects (debris) within earth orbit. Space-related ground installations are covered in Chapter 3 “Land Symbols”. 6.1.1. Space Operations Symbol Characteristics 1. Security and military operations are dependent on space capabilities for command and control (C2), communications, situation awareness, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The persistence (always on orbit), perspective (high altitude), penetration (no over flight restrictions), and presence (ability to provide combat support without being physically located with forward forces) of space systems provide forces beyond line of sight secure communications. 2. In order to depict in near-real time large areas with fast moving space users manoeuvring within all three dimensions, specific requirements for the space picture production have to be met: a.

The picture has to be updated in near real-time.

b. Vectors have to be provided in order to help to anticipate movement of own, neutral and hostile objects. c. Wherever known, relevant data like “type”, “mission”, “operator”, “capabilities” etc. have to be affiliated to the objects without cluttering the display. d. Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to controllers. e. Depending on the scenario, the display may contain a multitude of moving objects (debris).

6.2.

BUILDING SPACE SYMBOLS

6.2.1. General 1. This section establishes a single standard method for developing space symbols. It includes a variety of space related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building symbols. However, no attempt to depict all possible space symbols has


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) been made, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all standard identities. 2. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, a symbol for any conceivable object can be created using the logical sequence provided in this chapter. a. When representing not yet defined objects, the most appropriate symbol combination contained herein shall be selected. b. Any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols that differ from those laid down in this publication should be avoided. c. If, after searching icons and modifiers given in this publication, it is necessary to create a new symbol, the symbol shall be explained in an accompanying legend. d. Automated systems may have difficulty in passing non-standard symbols. 6.2.2. Space Symbol Composition A space symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icon (main icon), and modifiers (secondary icons) (Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1: Space Symbol Composition. 6.2.3. Space Symbol Composition Process Table 6-1 provides the steps used to build space symbols.

Table 6-1: Building Unit Symbols. 6.2.4. Amplifier Fields. 1. The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e. on identity, location and


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) movement, capabilities. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object is conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding. 2. Space amplifier fields are to be displayed in one position relative to the symbol, its right side and not in different and separate positions all around it. Track number, name, position, and nation are considered essential information and displayed in fields 1 through 5 to the right of the symbol. The placement of the label is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. Figure 6-2 shows the placement of amplifier fields around a space symbol frame. 1

Figure 6-2: Symbol Amplifier Fields. 3. The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means. a.

Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.

b. Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen. This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be considered further in this text. 4. In the default mode, the label is not shown. It is the user’s task to define and call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the user must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce screen clutter and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation. 5.

CHAPTER 7 STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS 7.1.

SCOPE

This chapter covers symbols used in relation to stability and civil support activities. 7.1.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Characteristics 1. Alliance security interests can be affected by risks of a wide nature, including acts of terrorism, sabotage and organized crime, and by the disruption of the flow of vital resources. Additionally, the uncontrolled movement of large numbers of people, particularly because of armed conflicts, can also pose problems for security and stability affecting the Alliance. 2. The joint force commander requires a set of symbols that provide the capability to depict stability activities and civil support activities across the continuum of operations. This set of symbols, as with the other sets in this publication, is built upon the basics as described in Chapter 1. 7.2.

BUILDING STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS

7.2.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Composition An activity symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), activity functional icon, modifiers (secondary icons), and text/graphic amplifiers (Figure 7-1).

7.2.4. Icons and Modifiers Placement inside Octagon 1. In general, icons should not be so large as to exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. 2. Full frame icons are exceptions to this size rule, and exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the octagon and touch the interior border of the frame. See Chapter 3 for more information concerning full frame icons.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 3. It Chapter 1, paragraph 1.2.2., and 1.3., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers inside the Octagon.

CHAPTER 8 CONTROL MEASURE SYMBOLS 8.1.

SCOPE

This chapter establishes a standard system for the development and use of control measures symbols. This chapter provides rules for automated and hand-drawn symbols and examples for all control measure symbols. These control measure symbols are the standard for all command and control systems and simulations, including those used in live, virtual, and constructive environments. 8.1.1. Control Measure Symbol Characteristics 1. Ultimately, the joint force commander and his forces must be capable of accomplishing their mission, either directly or indirectly, by the employment of capabilities to create physical or psychological effects, and be able to sustain such operations for as long as is necessary to achieve operational objectives. 2. The principal method by which this capability is delivered is through the combination of joint operational capabilities and a range of mechanisms and control measures. 3.

The standard system within this chapter provides: a. A series of control measure symbols that follow standard formats and control measure symbols that follow standalone formats. b.

Corresponding control measure symbol colouring.

c.

Proper labelling of control measure symbols

d.

Corresponding definitions to help add clarity in using these symbols.

8.1.2. General 1. This chapter divides the control measure symbols into groups that correspond to the joint functions of command and control to include joint targeting, manoeuvre and fires, intelligence, force protection, sustainment, and deception under information operations. 2.

The symbol groups are divided into the following control measure sections: e.

Colouring control measures. a. Friendly graphic control measures will be shown in black or blue when drawn manually or on a colour computer-generated display. b. Hostile graphic control measures will be shown in red. If red is not available, they will be drawn in black with the abbreviation “ENY” placed on the graphic in at least two places. c. Obstacles as shown in this chapter, friendly, hostile, neutral, unknown or factional, will be drawn using the colour green. If the colour green is not available obstacles should be drawn using black. d. The colour yellow will be used for the cross-hatching for CBRN contaminated areas. NOTE: The use of green and yellow for obstacles and CBRN is in contradiction to the standard identities.

5.

Labelling control measures. a. Make all text labelling in upper case letters. The reader should be able to read the labels for all text labels of modifier or amplifier fields for control measures symbols when the bottom of the overlay is closest to the reader. b. Labelling written on an angle should be readable to the viewer so they do not have to turn their head.

BOUNDARIES

In land warfare, a boundary is a line by which areas of responsibility between adjacent units/formations are defined. 8.2.1. Boundary Composition. 1.

Boundaries are composed of the following: a.

Line.

b. The graphic for the highest echelon (Field B) unit on lateral boundaries is used for the boundary line. The graphic for the lower echelon (Field B) unit on a rear or forward boundary is used for the boundary line. (See Table 8-2) When units of the same echelon are adjacent to each other, the abbreviated echelon designator (Field T) can be omitted from the alphanumeric designator. Tables 8-20 and 8-21 at the end of the chapter provide a list of abbreviations and acronyms to be used for Field T. c. When the boundary is between units of different countries, the threeletter country code (Field AH) is shown in parenthesis behind or below the unit designation. d.

e. line.

Numerals. (1)

Arabic numerals to show the numbers of units.

(2)

POINTS

1. Point control measure symbols follow a specific format (sustainment, CBRN decontamination, and special C2). 2. Supply points follow this same format with a modification to the symbol. Supply points use the same icon used for supply units. The supply icon is placed toward the bottom of the box. 3. This is format for use only with these types of points, as there are other points (contact, coordination, decision, targets, etc.) as displayed throughout this section on land control measure symbols that are formatted differently. 4. Type of point is abbreviated and positioned inside the top part of the point symbol in field A. For supply symbols this may be a graphic depiction. 5. Below the abbreviation of the point name, the designation of the unit servicing that point can be included in field T. To differentiate points, the point is numbered, lettered, or a combination. The number, letter or combination is placed on the outside of the symbol on the right side at the top in field T.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 6. On the outside of the point on the left side at the top and middle, date-time groups can be associated with the point. 7. On the outside of the point at the top, additional information can be provided in field H. 8. Point symbols cannot be rotated and therefore text will not be written on an angle. 9. Figure 8-2 below provides Template for Point and Supply Point Control Measure Symbols.

LINES

1.

Line control measure symbols that follow a specific format.

2. Most lines are also named as a phase line for easy reference for use in orders and during transmissions. 3. Phase lines will be marked as PL with the name in the T field. Other lines that have a specific purpose and are also named as phase lines should have the primary purpose in the T1 field (such as restrictive fire line “RFL”) labelled on top of the line at both ends of the line inside the lateral boundaries or as often as necessary for clarity. 4. The T2 field is used for fire support coordination measures to show the designation of the controlling headquarters. 5. The use of phase lines to mark line control measure symbols is not mandatory. 8-8 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

AREAS

1.

Area control measure symbols that follow a specific format.

2. Areas will normally be marked with the abbreviation for the type of area in the A field followed by a name in the T field. This labelling should be in the centre of the area unless the area is too small or the labelling would interfere with the locating of units. 3. Not all fields are required for each area, some areas may use only one field, while other will use several. 4.

Figure 8-4: Template for Area Control Measure Symbols. 8.6.

AREA OF OPERATIONS

1. An area of operations is an operational area defined by a joint commander for land or maritime forces to conduct military activities. Normally, an area of operations does not encompass the entire joint operations area of the joint commander, but is sufficient in size for the joint force component commander to accomplish assigned missions and protect forces. 2. Operational area is an overarching term encompassing more descriptive terms for geographic areas in which military operations are conducted.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED APP-6 (Study Draft 1) 3. Operational areas include, but are not limited to, such descriptors as area of responsibility, theatre of war, theatre of operations, joint operations area, amphibious objective area, joint special operations area, and area of operations. 4.

8.12. FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATION MEASURES 1. Fire support coordination measures are measures employed by land or amphibious commanders to facilitate the rapid engagement of targets and simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly forces. 2. Fire support control measures should be labelled with the abbreviation of the control measure, the controlling headquarters (Field T), and the effective times (Field W/W1). 3. Lines should have this labelling on both ends of the line and repeated as often as necessary for clarity along any line that passes through many boundaries. 4. CONTROL MEASURE

CHAPTER 9 METEOROLOGICAL SYMBOLS 9.1.

SCOPE

This chapter addresses control measure symbols in the atmospheric Dimension. 9.1.1. Purpose In military operations, it is important to consider meteorological impacts as part of the environmental conditions. 9.1.2. Meteorological Symbol Characteristics 1. All meteorological parameters are strictly related to both time and space, and they could represent observations or forecasts. Therefore, it is recommended to display these sets in a separate layer. 2. A meteorological symbol that displays an observation is always referred to a three-dimensional geographic point or to the vicinity of that point. 3. A meteorological symbol that represents a weather prediction is often referred to a wider area which has to be delimited in a well-defined manner. 9.2.

ATMOSPHERIC ICONS

ANNEX A

A.1.

SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES

PURPOSE

This annex outlines the procedures for developing symbol identification codes (SIDC) for symbols in APP-6(D). The SIDC codes listed shall be used for machine-tomachine processing. A.2.

SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES

A SIDC is a numeric code that uniquely identifies the elements needed to build an APP-6(D)-compliant symbol. The SIDC provides the capabiltiy to exchange symbol information in a bandwidth efficient manner. A.3.

ELEMENTS OF THE SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES

1. The SIDC is composed of eleven elements of information which are presented in two sets of ten digits. An additional set of ten digits composed of three elements can also be used optionally when an extension is required e.g. national or coaltion operations (See Figure A-1). 2. A Version Extension Flag (VEF) is used to indicate that the optional third set of ten SIDC digits is being used: When a VEF is used, it indicates that the extended information conveyed by the optional third ten digits is related to the field in which the VEF occurs. As an example, using the VEF in the Headquarters/Task Force/Dummy field indicates that the information conveyed by the third ten digits relates to headquarters and/or dummy or feint status. a.

When used in a simple list SIDC field, the VEF shall be the last value in that field. As examples, the VEF is value 9 in the one digit Status field and value 99 in the 2 digit Symbol Set field. b.

When a SIDC field is 2 bits but is not a simple list (the 2 digits each have discrete but related values which combine to allow 10 sets each with 10 values), either the first or second digit shall be capable of being set to 9 to represent the VEF. An example of this is the Unit Echelon/Equipment Mobility/Naval Towed Array Amplifier field where the first digit expresses echelon, mobility or naval towed array and the second digit is used to express a value related to the first digit and also has a VEF of 9 for each second digit list of values. c.

d.

Only one VEF shall be used in a SIDC. A-1 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Digit 1 and 2 is Version. Digits 3 and 4 are Standard Identity. Digits 5 and 6 are Symbol Set. Digit 7 is Status. Digit 8 is Headquarters/Task Force/Dummy. Digits 9 and 10 are Amplifier.

VERSION A-3 NATO UNCLASSIFIED

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 The version is comprised of two digits and identifies a version change for the SIDC which occurs when there is a change in an established icon, modifier, or drawing rule for a control measure symbol. Subsequent changes will create further version changes for the SIDC. The basis for all symbol versions in all sets is APP-6. Description

Code 10

No changes to joint military symbology Any subsequent changes to joint military symbology

11–39

Note: The first, second, and third sets of SIDC digits can each be represented in a computer system with a single 32 bit unsigned integer. The supported range of values for a 32 bit unsigned integer is 0 to 4,294,967,295. In order to allow nine (9) as the largest value for each digit (for extension flag purposes) and to ensure each of the ten digits is easily parsed, the allowable range of values for each part of the SIDC must be 1,000,000,000 to 3,999,999,999.

CONTEXT AND STANDARD IDENTITY

1. Standard Identity is comprised of two digits. The first digit represents the context of the symbol and the second digit reflects the standard identities in Chapter. The following are the entries for Standard Identity: Description REAL WORLD EXERCISE SIMULATION RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE

Table A-3: Standard Identity 2. Context Implementation Guidance. The three contexts listed are Reality, Exercise, and Simulation, and these are directly related to frames depicted in the


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 base document of MIL-STD-2525. The graphic (svg) files2 provided for frames include complete sets of those that need “X” for Exercise or “S” for Simulation text amplifiers, however graphic (svg) files for Training are not currently available. These amplifiers are built into the Exercise and Simulation frame graphic (svg) files themselves, rather than supplied as separate text amplifier graphic (svg) files. 3. Standard Identity Implementation Guidance. The standard identities are documented, and examples of the various frames used for each of the standard identities illustrated, in Table 1-1. The standard identities themselves are also listed in see Chapter 1, Section 1.2.1. The seven standard identities are grouped into four Standard Identity groups each of which has an associated frame shape. The Standard Identity groups are Unknown, Friend, Neutral and Hostile and the mapping between them and the standard identities is as shown in Table A-4. Standard Identity Group Standard Identities Unknown Pending and Unknown Friend Friend and Assumed Friend Neutral Neutral Hostile Hostile/Faker and Suspect/Joker Table A-4: Standard Identity Groups and Standard Identities When a symbol component is variable according to frame shape, the Standard Identity group can be used to determine which of the available graphics (svg) files should be used for symbol construction.

Table A-5: Symbol Set 2. Symbol Set Implementation Guidance. A symbol set represents a collection of symbol entities, sector one modifiers, and sector two modifiers. One or more symbol sets is grouped into a given dimension. A dimension is a collection of symbols that all share the same basic frame shape and amplifier placement specifications. The various dimensions are further illustrated as columns in in Chapter 1, Table 1-1 through 1-5 (see chapter1, section 1.2.1.). For any given symbol’s SIDC, its context, Standard Identity, dimension, and status codes assist in determining which frame and associated fill is used to depict that symbol. Typically, given a collection of available filled frame graphic (svg) files, a given “affiliation” or “relationship” between a single context, single Standard Identity, single dimension, together with status, will permit the identification and selection of a single best choice for frame graphic (svg) file. The optional choice of drawing a frame using the magenta fill for “civilian” provides a further opportunity to choose a particularly appropriate graphic (svg) file for frame depiction. 3. See Table A-6 for the relationships between dimensions and symbol sets and terminology. Domains used in MIL-STD-2525 cut across Dimensions. MIL-STD2525C also refers to the concept of a Battle Dimension (Air, Space, Ground, Sea Surface, Sea Subsurface, SOF, Other, and Unknown), and so, for clarity, Table A-6 also shows the relationships between the older concept of Battle Dimension and the newer concepts of Domain, Dimension, and Symbol Set.

Status Implementation Guidance. Status is defined in Chapter 1, section 1.2.1. The status code in an SIDC can, alternatively, represent a present symbol’s operational condition. Operational condition and planned/anticipated/suspected status are mutually exclusive. Graphic (svg) files are available for each frame shape to enable a location Status of Present (solid frame) or Anticipated/Planned/Suspected (dashed frame) to be indicated for the relevant standard identities. Similarly, graphic (svg) files (differentiated by Context, Standard Identity, Dimension, and Status) are available to ensure that when the operational condition of an entity is expressed using the coloured bar approach, the bars are properly aligned when drawn beneath various frame shapes.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 Table A-9: Amplifier 2. Echelon/Mobility/Towed Array Amplifier Implementation Guidance. An amplifier can either be textual or graphical. Documented in Chapter 1, section 1.2.1., with further echelon indicator details in paragraph Chapter 3 Table 3-6, mobility indicator details in Chapter 3 Table 3-19, and towed array amplifier details Chapter 3 Table 3-20, these codes allow, within the contents of an SIDC, for the inclusion of three of the most commonly used graphic amplifiers. An individual graphic (svg) file can be identified for use for a given amplifier based on an SIDC’s Standard Identity group and its two amplifier code digits. A.11. SECOND TEN DIGITS 1.

These digits define the icon and modifier contents of each symbol set: a. Digits 11 and 12 are the entity. b. Digits 13 and 14 are entity type. c. Digits 15 and 16 are entity subtype. d. Digits 17 and 18 are sector one (first) modifier. e. Digits 19 and 20 are sector two (second) modifier.

2. Icons are the innermost part of a symbol. A symbol is, at most, composed of one and only one icon or compound icon. Icons are fully defined in in section 1.2. The SIDC structure is organized using a logical three-tier hierarchy based on first, second and third order military functions; each tier (military function level) is expressed using a pair of digits. A first order military function is expressed as an Entity. Where there are second order military functions associated with a first order military function, these are expressed as Entity Types. Similarly, if a second order military function has related third order military functions, these are expressed as Entity Subtypes. The placement of the digits representing Entity, Entity Type and Entity Subtype can be seen in Figure A-1. Some entities and entity types are used purely for hierarchical purposes, these are never associated with an actual physical icon (an individual svg graphic file) and thus are never intended to be displayed. Most entities and entity types, however, and all entity subtypes, are associated with a single physical icon (an individual svg file). The icon used to represent a SIDC should be that associated with the highest level of detail available i.e. the one that reflects a non-zero-zero value at the most discriminating (i.e., lowest order) of the Entity, Entity Type and Entity Subtype values. When the icon to be used is a full frame icon (see section 1.2.) so by definition it touches the edge of the frame it is drawn within, one of four graphic (svg) files needs to be used, based on the Standard Identity group of the given SIDC. 3. A symbol set is also comprised of up to two sets of sector modifiers (sector 1 and sector 2). Sector modifiers are defined in section 1.2., and their placement in paragraph 1.2.2. The graphic (svg) file for a given sector one modifier can be determined through an SIDC’s symbol set and sector one modifier codes. The


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 graphic (svg) file for a given sector two modifier can be determined through an SIDC’s symbol set and sector two modifier codes. a. For example, an SIDC of 1003100216, 1204010051 would be interpreted as: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) unit (10) (11)

10 = Original version of this symbol (no effect on how this symbol is built/drawn) 03 = Reality context, friend Standard Identity, friend Standard Identity group 10 = Land unit symbol set, which belongs to the land unit dimension 0 = status of present 2 = headquarters/task force/dummy amplifier of headquarters 16 = echelon at brigade and below, specifically a battalion/squadron echelon 12 = within the land unit symbol set, the movement and manoeuvre entity 04 = within the movement and manoeuvre entity, an antitank/anti-armour entity type 01 = within the anti-tank/anti-armour entity type, an armoured 00 = within the land unit symbol set, no sector one modifier 51 = within the land unit symbol set, the wheeled sector two modifier

4. The above example would be drawn as shown in example of SIDC Symbol Building (Figure A-2). Codes Used 03 = Reality friend 10 = Land unit symbol set (and dimension) 0 = status of present

Graphic (svg)

All of the above values must be noted, in order to select the single best graphic for the filled frame.


Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 3 = Friend 10 = Land unit 2 = Headquarters All of the above values must be noted, in order to select the single best graphic for the headquarters/task force/dummy amplifier. 3 = Friend 16 = Echelon at brigade or below, battalion/squadron The friend Standard Identity belongs to the friend Standard Identity group, which in turn helps determine which graphic (svg) to use.

10 = Land unit symbol set 12 = Entity is movement/maneuver

No icon is associated with this entity (hierarchical purposes only)

3 = Friend 04 = Entity type within land unit movement/maneuver entity is antitank/antiarmor. Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed. This icon would be used if this were the highest order non-zero-zero military function code in this SIDC. But it is not, in this example, the icon we desire. 3 = Friend 01 = Entity subtype within land unit movement/maneuver entity and antitank/antiarmor entity type is armored. Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed. Since this is the highest (3rd) order non-zero-zero military function code in this particular SIDC, this icon IS used, NOT the previous icon for antitank/antiarmor. 00 = Sector one modifier code is zero.


Nothing is drawn in sector one.

Edition D Version 1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED ANNEX A TO APP-6 51 = Sector two modifier code is land unit, wheeled

When composed and drawn, the final result is… 1003100216, 1204010051

Figure A-2: Example of SIDC Symbol Building

A.12. THIRD TEN DIGITS The third ten digit set of the symbol identification codes is to accommodate national modifications/additions that are not included in APP-6. In particular, when a nation (or approved entity) has a need to transfer symbol information to another allied country/system then the third ten digit set provides an approved method to achieve this capability. The third ten digit set starts with a three digit number pre-assigned to nations (Table A-10 below) which indicates to a recipient the Symbology Originator Identifier. The three digit identifiers for Symbology Originators are sourced from ISO 3166 Country Codes. The fourth digit is to be used by the Symbology Originator to identify a particular symbol set. The remaining six digits are available for whatever use the Symbology Originator decides. To correctly interpret a complete 30-digit SIDC, requires the Symbology Originator utilizing the third ten digit set to provide amplifying documentation to recipients. The third ten digit set should not be used to reinterpret an approved APP-6 symbol. Country ALBANIA BELGIUM BULGARIA CANADA CROATIA CZECH REPUBLIC DENMARK ESTONIA FRANCE
