Standards & Compliance

Varindor is built on NATO, MIL-STD, and NIST standards — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation. Every protocol, every message format, every audit trail conforms to the standards that coalition and partner operations require. Interoperability is a design decision, not a bolt-on.

CBRN

STANAG 4701 / ATP-45 NBC warning and reporting. NBC1-NBC6 report ingestion and generation.
AEP-7 CBRN agent toxicology reference data. AEGL thresholds per agent.
STANAG 2211 MGRS grid reference conversion for CBRN hazard reporting.

Tactical Data Links

Link-16 (TADIL J) NATO tactical data link message encoding and decoding.
STANAG 5527 (NFFI 1.4) NATO Friendly Force Information. Track exchange with allied systems.
ADatP-3 / APP-11 (NATO MTF) NATO Message Text Formatting. Standard military message construction.

Platform Interoperability

STANAG 4586 UAV command and control interface. Multi-level interoperability.
STANAG 4559 (NSILI) NATO Standard ISR Library Interface. Allied ISR catalog queries.
MAVLink v2 Autonomous vehicle command, telemetry, and mission control.

Symbology & Presentation

MIL-STD-2525D Military symbology. Symbol Identification Code parsing, validation, and construction.

Security & Audit

NIST 800-53 Full AC (Access Control) and AU (Audit) control families mapped to implementation. Tamper-evident integrity chains on all audit records.
mTLS Mutual TLS authentication on all inter-service and peer-to-peer connections.
ABAC Attribute-based access control with four classification levels (U/C/S/TS), SCI compartments (SI, TK, G, HCS), handling caveats (ORCON, NOFORN), and standard portion marking.
National Releasability Per-country and per-organization data releasability. Every piece of data carries a release list. Enforced at every API boundary — data flows through the same platform without crossing national classification boundaries.
Coalition Ready Pre-built country sets for all NATO members and all EU members (ISO 3166-1). Multinational operations run on a shared platform with sovereign data control per nation. Default deny — no data is accessible without explicit releasability.
CAC / PKI Common Access Card authentication with OCSP revocation checking.
ML-DSA (Dilithium) Post-quantum digital signatures. ML-DSA-65 and ML-DSA-87 (NIST FIPS 204) via Cloudflare CIRCL. Working today alongside classical signing.
ML-KEM (Kyber) Post-quantum key encapsulation. ML-KEM-768 (NIST FIPS 203) with hybrid KEM+AES-256-GCM encryption. Quantum-safe key exchange with symmetric encryption.
NSA CNSA 2.0 Aligned with NSA Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 post-quantum transition guidance.
Key Routing Automatic routing of PQC and classical key operations to appropriate backends. Same KeyManager interface for both.
FIPS 140 Compatible Open source secrets management or HSM. No plaintext key storage.

Industrial Protocols

Modbus TCP / RTU PLC and RTU register read/write for industrial control monitoring.
OPC-UA Industrial automation server connectivity.
DNP3 Distributed Network Protocol for SCADA and utility infrastructure.
MQTT Lightweight messaging for OT/ICS sensor networks.

Compliance by Design

These standards are not wrappers or translation layers added after the fact. The system's internal data model is built on NATO message formats. The security stack enforces classification and compartmentalization at every API boundary. The audit trail is structural, not bolted on.

When a NATO NBC1 report arrives, it is parsed, validated, and consumed natively — not converted from a proprietary format. When a Link-16 track is exchanged, it uses the standard message structures. When an audit record is written, it includes the full integrity chain required by NIST 800-53 AU-9.

All standards implementations are derived from publicly available specifications — NATO unclassified STANAGs, published MIL-STDs, open protocol documentation, and public reference standards. No classified material was used in the development of any protocol implementation or data model.

Targeting and weapon system interfaces follow the same principle. As delivered, the platform supports training and wargaming with full kill chain functionality. Operational integration with live weapon systems requires a classified delivery project in which the customer provides weapon-specific parameters and integration specifications under their national classification authority.
