Enabling Civil/Military Cooperation in Crisis Management

Civil/Military cooperation is vital when addressing civil emergencies. In order to most efficiently enable such cooperations, it is important to ensure easy and secure information exchange. This paper describes an approach to enable such information exchange using a robust MILS kernel, using a content-based security approach to allow each organisation to remain in control of their own data. Furthermore, we demonstrate the approach by combining a military standard Command and Control (C2) system with a civilian system, where specific information can be securely and easily transmitted between the parties.
