CFBLNet grew out of the need for persistent joint multinational and cost effective infrastructure for trial, assessment, testing, exercise and training. The capability allows for various national collaborations; e.g. CCEB, NATO, bilateral and multilateral. CFBLNet is accessible through sponsorship to additional partner nations, international organisations, industry and academia. Today CFBLNet recognizes over 234 sites globally which are participating in multiple initiatives throughout the year. CFBLNet operates under the CFBLNet charter, which establishes a common framework consisting of well-defined processes, security procedures and agreed technical standards. III. Current and potential operational benefits Every nation recognizes how difficult it is to maintain the multiple potential overlapping bilateral and multinational collaboration infrastructures. With its common framework, CFBLNet works as a coordinated capability while maintaining the required national and multinational security assurance.
Chapter 1: Concepts and Solutions for Communications and Information Systems 63 A. Advantages of the multinational federated infrastructure There are several benefits from the multinational federated infrastructure. Firstly, there is a potential for significant cost saving through sharing of resources for joint activities in the C4ISR domain. Secondly, the quality of products developed and tested in this way is improved by exposure and validation in a multinational environment. Thirdly, nations can reuse their national defence infrastructure assets to perform testing which faithfully replicates operational systems. Finally the infrastructure was designed from the start to support secure multinational interoperability testing; and is now tried and tested with a ten year track record. B. Recent examples of successes CFBLNet has hosted many significant and successful multinational C4ISR events, for example those listed in Table 1 below.

<strong>and</strong> tested in this way is improved by exposure <strong>and</strong> validation in a multinational<br />

assets to perform testing which faithfully replicates operational systems. Finally<br />
