This document provides the technical information that was developed during the production of the STANAG. This information was identified as important to the acquisition communities of the member Nations, but inappropriate for the STANAG. This information is divided into seven discrete sections, each provided in the Annexes to this AEDP as shown in Figure-1.

Annex A explains the background and application scenarios. Annex B provides the recommended practices and engineering guidelines. Annex C provides specific guidance to the acquisition communities in the form of recommendations for specifications. Annex D includes the Compliance Test and Certification procedures for verifying that a product meets the standard. Annex E includes the configuration management plan for managing the STANAG and this documentation. Annex F provides application notes. Finally, Annex G is a global glossary for the entire AEDP.
