• Responses (NSR, NLR, NESE, NLSE)

The primary audience consists of software/system engineers who develop, support, and/or test these systems.

This document contains the technical details of the NATO AEDP 15 based transactions. Readers are expected to have working knowledge of the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 as a prerequisite for understanding this specification.

This document may also be used by program managers, trainers, or other system design personnel to gain an understanding of the functionality provided by these transactions.
