STANAG 4658

STANAG 4658 cooperative electronic support measure operations (CESMO)

Makers and integrators of electronic support measure (ESM) sensors and battle management systems, and the programmes that specify coalition electromagnetic spectrum data sharing.

STANAG 4658 is the NATO agreement covering CESMO, the standardised message set for sharing electromagnetic spectrum threat data between coalition forces. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from AEDP-02, which cites it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.

What it is

STANAG 4658 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on Cooperative Electronic Support Measure Operations, edition 2, promulgated on 19 January 2022 under CNAD, AC/224 NAFAG, JCGISR. It covers the publication AEDP-13. NATO has not released STANAG 4658 publicly, so this page describes it from AEDP-02, a public NATO publication that cites it.

Where it is cited

AEDP-02 says "STANAG 4658 exists to enable the warfighter to rapidly share and receive Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) threat information", and notes that use of the spectrum by modern systems such as Integrated Air Defence Systems (IADS), Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars and digitally modulated communications systems poses a steadily increasing threat. AEDP-02 also says CESMO "enables rapid coordination and fusion of data from EMS sensors, across an agile tactical network", and that "STANAG 4658 defines a standardised message set to enable CESMO". It says this enhances the survivability of coalition forces and the efficient exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum, and lists the military benefits as contributions to Time Sensitive Targeting, updates to the Theatre Specific Electronic Order of Battle, and contributions to the JISR enterprise.

AEDP-02 also says STANAG 4658 is associated with AEDP-13, which it describes as defining messages for sharing platform and collection equipment status, participant position reporting, and sensor line of bearing intercepts and emitter locations, including identity (NATO Spot Number), affiliation, confidence and emission parametric information.

The reference list in AEDP-05 names STANAG 4658 as the NATO Cooperative ELINT/ESM Geolocation (NCEEG) Standard, with no date available.

Documents, training, risks and evidence in one place, with the trail an auditor asks for.

How we help

A supplier bound by STANAG 4658 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.
