Key benefits

IRIS Forms is a world-leading, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product used by many nations in their command-and-control (C2) and military message handling systems (MMHS) for working with formatted messages.

IRIS Forms offers full compliance with the complete message catalogue from NATO APP-11 as well as USMTF, OTH-T GOLD, ASMTF, and national messages adhering to ADatP-3, supporting messages in traditional slash-delimited and XML-MTF formats. IRIS Forms also provides full message catalog support for binary MIL-STD-6017, A+, B, C, and STANAG- 5519.

This makes IRIS Forms a perfect fit in a highly interoperable environment for orders, reports, requests, and situational awareness information on multiple tactical levels in land, maritime, and air services.

As it is easy to integrate with the rest of the IRIS suite, with the C4ISR solutions in the SitaWare suite as well as with third-part applications through our software development kit, IRIS Forms takes formatted messaging in the military domain to the next level.

Key features

IRIS Forms comes as a standalone Windows application that can run independently on a laptop and as a web-enabled version operating in a web browser for networked environments. Despite differences in deployment options, there is no difference in the functionality between the two variants.

Below, we have gathered some of the most important features in IRIS Forms. We are also more than happy to give you a live demo of our solution and discuss how your organisation could benefit from the IRIS Forms and the rest of the IRIS suite.
