INTRODUCTION AML - Additional Military Layers - was introduced to replace the need for specialist paper charts and overlays in order to meet the RN aims for the paperless bridge. The purpose of the products is to enhance operational effectiveness in the maritime and littoral environments through superior situational awareness. At present 10 NATO members are actively involved in either producing or using AML while other defence forces interested in their application include the US Department of Defence, the Royal Australian and Swedish Navies. Within the UK they are produced by UKHO Taunton in support of the Recognised Environmental Picture (REP), part of ISTAR Network-Enabled Capability (NEC). The underlying concept of AML is to replace the need for reference to environmental information contained within specialist legacy printed publications by embedding it within databases that can be displayed on electronic systems, thereby enhancing situational awareness and tactical decision making. Within the Royal Navy AML is intended for display on WECDIS, WAIS, JC2SP, DNA2 as well as non-surface combatant command systems (e.g. MERLIN Tactical Command System). AML is distributed by FIMU to all RN ships and submarines in the form of a Global AML CD and are supported by the CSS-based UK AML Catalogue and NP114 NATO AML Catalogue (to be replaced by NATO AML e-Catalogue). THE BENEFITS OF AML AML provides enhanced operational effectiveness through information superiority. Designed for situational awareness, AML supports digital navigation within WECDIS to greatly enhance the manoeuvrability, access and reach of maritime forces. AML provides: • Unified data in one place • Attributed and searchable data • Rapid display • Selectable data • Can be displayed with other geospatial information • Interoperability with NATO nations • Format standardisation 5 UNCLASSIFIED 09/08/2012 DMGIC © British Crown Copyright 2012
