International CooperationMilitary Communication Institute - as a modern R&D unit, keeps systematic contact with investigative environments, exerting the influence on creating new teleinformation technologies. It enables MCI to have an effective realization and suitably high level of its works.
Experts from MCI participate in conferences, symposia, fairs, exhibitions, committees and working groups, realizing international, investigative projects.
Due to easy access to the latest foreign studies and book publications, periodicals, conference materials, catalogues, standards and standardization agreements - MCI employees can more effectively develop their interests in modern communications system and computer science.


Membership in international organisations:MCI, as a member of Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA), for several years has been participating in various undertakings organized by AFCEA in many countries.
A representative of MCI is a member of National Committee of International Scientific Radio Union (Union Radio - Scientifique Internationale), as well as a member of international committee - URSI (Electromagnetic Noise and Interference), he presides over it, often presenting his own studies.
MCI is also represented in NATO Research & Technology Organisation - Information Systems Technology Panel (NATO RTO - IST Panel).
In October 2005 MCI joined Network Centric Operations Industrial Consortium (NCOIC).The mission of the Consortium is: "Industry working together with our customers to provide a Network Centric environment where all classes of information systems interoperate by integrating existing and emerging open standards into a common evolving global framework that employs a common set of principles and processes." MCI has been taking part in several working groups of the Consortium, which broadens MCI's knowledge on NEC and enables regular contact with the world's best specialists in this area.


Projects and international programmes:TACOMS Post - 2000 - "Tactical Communications Standards for the Land Combat Zone Post - 2000."
Military Communication Institute participated in realization of TACOMS Post - 2000 programme with a view to carry out the series of standards defining the requirements concerning an interoperability of perspective broadband communications systems and assurance of interoperability between tactical communications systems of different armies. In August 2003, an international agreement came to force (Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding) connected with realization of the programme TACOMS Post 2000, which indicated the conditions for Polish side to join the realization of the programme. As a consequence, a contract (TACOMS Post 2000 Sub - Contract) was signed which came into force on 3.10.2003. It defined the tasks of MCI in the frameworks of TACOMS Post - 2000 programme, regulated the principles of its realization, payments and different obligations of participants. In the frameworks of this contract MCI executed tasks in form of work packages. The reports were the results of works of individual phases of every work package. These results were passed to TAC ONE via special information system, which was built especially for the needs of this programme.
The ending of the works on working package concerning protocols defining exchange of routing information with external networks for connection oriented services was planned for 2005.
The following phases of the programme were carried out within the so called testing and prototyping initiative. A team was called to realize prototypes of selected interoperability points.
Testing of the prototypes was possible at exercises WinEx and Combined Endeavour appropriated for modern broadband systems worked out to TACOMS post 2000 principles.

TICNET - Implementation of Ipv6 Protocol for Tactical Interoperable Communications Networks
In March 2003 Military Communication Institute, along with Military University of Technology and German Institute of Telecommunication, Processing of Information and Ergonomics (FKIE - Wachtberg) entered realization of a research project called "Implementation of Ipv6 Protocol for Tactical Interoperable Communications Networks" (TICNET). The main purpose of this project was an estimation of possibility of adaptation of this project to military telecommunications networks as well as simulating and direct verification of proposed solutions. Using Ipv6 creates conditions for improvement of national interoperability of tactical telecommunications systems. The special task of this project was adapting this protocol to services, which are sensitive to deceleration with required level of safety and required quality. Works on the project finished in 2005 as had been planned. The most important effect of these, was completing of procedures guarantying quality of the delay-sensitive services in narrowband networks IPv6 together with their simulation and experimental verification, working out two independent implementations of network adapter (Polish and German) which realize procedures of QoS, working out and validating the model of simulation network adapter and building an integrated research environment within the laboratories IT MUT, MCI and FKIE and common publications at prestigious international conferences, IST NATO RTO Panel included.

Participation in international working groups
Due to participating to NATO RTO specialists of the Institute take part in sessions of Research &Technology Organization - Information Systems Technology Panel - IST NATO RTO and working groups realizing international research programmes: Information Infrastructure Supporting NCW Communications - IST-061/RTG-027 dealing with information infrastructure supporting NCW type systems (network centric), TGonNECSec Task Group on Network Enabled Capability Security - IST-045/RTG-017 dealing with security of network centric operations, Tactical Communications in Urban Operations - IST-067/RTG-030 dealing with tactical communications issues in urban areas, XML in Cross Domain Security Solutions - IST 068 dealing with cross domain security solutions, Information Infrastructure Supporting NCW Communications - IST-ET-044 dealing with information infrastructure for NCW networks, Protected Core Networking - IST 069 dealing with secure network cooperation.
Complying with the agreement of general Chief of Command and Communication Division and Director of MCI, the experts of the Institute take part in working groups within NC3B (NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board), dealing with policy and procedures of interoperability- IPP- Policy and Procedures Working Group - SC/2-WG/4, implementation, testing and verifying recommendations of TACOMS in military communications systems - Collaborative Implementation and Testing Working Group - CIT WG, and also - working out standardization agreements concerning NATO communications systems - Tactical Communication Working Group 1 (Communication Network Subcommittee) - SC6/WG-1.
MCI has its representatives also in international working group made up by manufacturers and creators of equipment, striving to achieving its interoperability - International Interoperability Control Working Group - IICWG and in its NATO counterpart focusing on multimedia Conferencing - Multi-Media Conferencing AHWG - SC/6-AHWG/3.
New area of the Institute's scientists are project teams working within European Defence Agency - EDA - Project Team on Software Defined Radio - PT on SDR and Defense Test and Evaluation Base - DTEB.
Taking part in these session enables learning abort legacy state of development of creating complex rules of achieving interoperability of C3 systems as well as about methodology actions leading to working out solutions integrating planning works within multinational working groups, NATO and PfP. It is also a significant step on the way to next generation military information systems. The effect to achieve is to accelerate achieving of interoperability our national system with other countries' ones.

Participation in international conferences, symposiums, fairs and exhibitions:
The employees of Institute actively participate in the largest and the most prestigious conferences, symposiums, fairs and exhibitions concerning military communications systems: MILCOM (USA), IASTED (Austria), ITTE, SPECTS (Canada), EUROCRYPT, IEEE Sarnoff Symposium (USA), EMV (Germany), TechNet Europe, EURO - SATORY (France), CeBIT (Germany), DEFEXPO (India) where their own articles are represented.
Participation in exhibitions and fairs enables a direct contact with manufacturers and receivers of the latest studies from different research centres of entire world, but what is the most important - it assures exchanging opinions about directions in development of military telecommunications system.

Military Communications and Information Systems Conference (MCC 2006)
As a part of international relations, MCI together with Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A), Military University of Technology, Research & Development Marine Technology and the national unit of AFCEA is the co-organizer of Military Communications and Information Systems Conference (MCC 2006).
