STANAG 6009

STANAG 6009 NATO Emitter Database (NEDB) - SCORPIO

Organisations that exchange emitter data or report emitters in NATO channels using the NATO Emitter Database and the NATO Spot Number system.

STANAG 6009 defines the NATO Emitter Database (NEDB), NATO's common database and Spot Number system for exchanging information on electromagnetic emitters. NATO has not released it publicly, so this page describes it from a public NATO publication that 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 6009, NATO Emitter Database (NEDB) - SCORPIO, is sponsored by MC, MCJSB, NEWAC. Edition 5 was promulgated on 16 December 2025, and it covers the publication AEMP-05, edition A. NATO has not released STANAG 6009 publicly, so this page describes it from a public NATO publication that cites it.

What AEDP-02 says about the NEDB

AEDP-02, a public NATO publication, describes STANAG 6009 directly: "STANAG 6009 defines the NATO Emitter Database (NEDB) as the sole common NATO database for the exchange of parametric and related information on electromagnetic emitters. It also establishes the NATO Spot Number (NSN) system for verbally or electronically referring to and reporting emitters in NATO channels."

AEP-4845, in its list of the ISR products defined in STANAG 4559, names "NEDB/EOB (STANAG 6009)" under CESMO, alongside ESM (STANAG 5516).

How we help

A supplier bound by STANAG 6009 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.
