PREFACE
This standard provides common operational symbology along with details on its
display and plotting to ensure the compatibility and, to the greatest extent possible,
the interoperability of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) command and
control systems, operations, and training and is intended to be equally applicable to
operations conducted by a coalition of NATO, partners, non-NATO nations or other
organisations.
This new edition reflects a baseline of agreed changes, provides additional symbols,
and reflects the harmonization initialised with all services.
Allied Procedural Publication–6(D) (APP-6(D)) focuses on the building block nature
of military symbols. It contains Figures and Tables that provide the user with
standard frames, icons, modifiers, and amplifiers using colour, graphic and
alphanumeric representations along with guidelines for their use.
It is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate further change, development
and input from the operators and users. Changes to these symbols and the addition
of new symbol sets will be worked through NATO procedures.

CHAPTER 1 MILITARY SYMBOLS
1.1.
INTRODUCTION
1.1.1. Scope
This publication provides a single standardized, structured set of graphical symbols
for the display of information in military systems and applications. A standard
method for symbol construction is provided using common building blocks which
shall be used to create current symbol sets as well as for creating sets that may be
needed in future1.
1.1.2. Purpose
1.
The purpose of this publication is to establish a common standard for the
design, development and use of symbols depicting joint military activities. The
publication aims to enable a standard visual portrayal for all command and control
(C2) symbols and control measure symbols.
2.
In command and control of military operations, the reality of the displayed
operational picture, its correct assessment and the decision-making speed are
decisive factors. In joint military operations, it is imperative to have a common
language clearly understood among all users. Graphical representation of objects,
commands, movements and additional information (including alphanumeric text and
colours) are observed and readily understood faster than merely text alone. This is
valid even more for a user population with a widely different background of language,
component, knowledge and experience. A common standard of joint military symbols
is therefore an important element to enhance efficiency and contribute to success in
joint operations.
1.1.3. Applicability
1.
APP-6 applies to both electronic/automated and hand-drawn graphic displays,
both multi-coloured and monochrome. It is however accepted that automated
systems are capable of creating more complicated graphics than can useably be
hand-drawn. As a result of this constraint, there are a number of symbols that are
accepted as being primarily for machine-to-machine (M2M) exchange of graphics.
These are identified in the symbol and SIDC Tables using the entry "M2M" in the
Remarks column.
2.
APP-6 shall be used by all NATO forces involved in operations, for system
development, and training. It aims to serve as the basic standard building set for
1 The building block approach does not apply to the symbol sets in Chapter 3 - SОction II “Land
EquipmОnt Sвmbols”, űhaptОr 8 “űontrol MОasurО Sвmbols”, and űhaptОr 9 “MОtОoroloРical Sвmbols“.

future NATO implementations of symbol sets used in manual applications and
electronic display systems. Any nation that wishes to achieve Symbology
interoperability with NATO is required to use the same standard.
1.1.4. Content
1.
This publication provides building blocks for the standard composition of
symbols. This includes frame, icon, amplifier and modifier using colour, graphic and
alphanumeric representations. It gives detailed standards and requirements for
symbol construction and composition with a certain degree of flexibility for special
usОr’s nООds.
2.
The symbol set encompasses the graphic representation of units, equipment,
installations, and other elements and activities relevant to joint military operations. It
contains the building blocks for joint military symbols from the Dimensions Air
(Chapter 2), Land (Chapter 3), Dismounted Individual (Chapter 4), Maritime (Chapter
5), Space (Chapter 6) and the display of Stability Activities and Civil Support
Activities (Chapter 7).
3.
In addition, APP-6 contains listed standardized symbols and Figures for
control measures (Chapter 8) and elements of the International Standardization
Organization (ISO) Meteorological Symbol Set (Chapter 9).

1.1.6. Military Symbology Objective
1.
The objective of graphical joint military symbols is to convey information about
the object being depicted. Objects can either be physical (units, equipment,
installations and meteorological occurrences) or non-physical (planning, control
measures) or anticipated locations with temporarily assigned characteristics or
temporary validity. Additionally, symbols are also used to convey activities and
operations for stability and civil support activities.
2.
While the focus of this publication is the display of symbols in modern multichromatic electronic systems, all symbols must be usable in monochromatic systems
and as hand-drawn symbols. The need to reduce information cluttering on a tactical
display underlines the requirement of symbol display options with the possibility of
reducing size and displayed information of symbols.
1.2.
DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
Icon-based symbols represent units, equipment, installations, and activities from all
Dimensions. An icon-based symbol is a composition of a frame, fill, icon, modifiers,
and amplifiers (see Figure 1-2). These components are located within and around a
bounding octagon (see Figure 1-4). A symbol provides information about the
Standard Identity, operational environment, status, and mission of an operational
object.

1.2.1. Frame
1.
The frame is the border of a symbol. The frame serves as the base to which
other symbol components are added and normally surrounds an icon. Frames are
required with some icons but not for others. When a frame is included in a symbol, its
shape indicates the Standard Identity, Dimension, and Status of the object shall be
represented as shown in Table 1-1. A frame can be black or white depending on
display background, or it can be coloured using the default colours in Table 1-6, to
provide enhanced presentation information about Standard Identity.
a.
Standard Identity. In imagery interpretation, identity is the
discrimination between objects within a particular type or class. Standard
Identity reflects the relationship between the viewer and the operational object
being monitored.
(1)
The Standard Identity categories are Unknown, Assumed Friend,
Friend, Neutral, Suspect, and Hostile (see Table 1-1).
(2)
A closed frame is used to denote the Land and Sea Surface
Dimensions, a frame open at the bottom to denote the Air and Space
Dimensions, and a frame open at the top to denote the Subsurface
Dimension.
(3)
A solid line is used when the identity of an entity is certain. A
solid line can be used with the standard identifies of Friend, Hostile,
Neutral and Unknown.
(4)
A dotted line of alternating black and white dots is used when the
identity of an entity is uncertain. A dotted line can be used with the
standard identifies of Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the category of
Pending. Figure 1-3 shows the display of black and white dotted lines
on various backgrounds.
(5)
Standard Identity is not applicable to Meteorological
Oceanographic (METOC) symbols.

Figure 1-3: Examples of Black and White Dotted Lines on Various
Backgrounds.
b.
Dimension. A Dimension commonly reflects the physical environment
within which the primary mission of the object is conducted or the entity is
located. An object can have a mission area on, above or below the earth's
surface (is divided into land or sea) or outside the earth's atmosphere.
(1)
The land surface Dimensions (Land Unit, Land Equipment and
Land Installation) are those which are physically located on the land
surface or close to the surface (e.g., land mines and underground
shelters).
(2)
The Sea Surface Dimension includes only those objects which
are on the sea surface. However, a landing craft whose primary
mission is to fight on land is categorized as Land Equipment.
(3)
The Subsurface Dimension includes those objects which are
below the sea surface (e.g., submarines and sea mines).
(4)
Aircraft, regardless of service ownership, shall be depicted in the
Air Dimension while air facilities shall be depicted as Land
Installations. Air related ground equipment and installations shall be
depicted in the Land Equipment or Installation Dimensions.
(5)
Activity/Event, Unknown and Dismounted Individual are
categorised as Dimensions despite not having a direct relationship to
a specific physical environment.

c.
Status. Status is used to express the location state of an entity. Status
can be "Present" or "Confirmed", "Planned" or "Anticpated" or "Suspected"
(see Table 1-2).
(1)
The symbol frame shall be a solid line when indicating a status of
"Present" or "Confirmed".
(2)
The symbol frame shall be a dashed line when indicating a
status of "Anticipated", "Planned", or "Suspected".
(3)
Status will not be displayed when the Standard Identity of the
frame is uncertain as is the case for Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the
category of Pending. In these cases, the Frame is depicted as a
dotted line.

Fill. The fill is the interior area within a symbol. The fill colour may be
used to reinforce the Standard Identity expressed using the symbol shape
(see Table 1-6).
e.
Colour. In unframed symbols, colour shall be the sole indicator of
Standard Identity, excluding text amplifiers. Table 1-6 defines the default
colours that shall be used to designate Standard Identity when coloured
symbols are either hand drawn or displayed electronically.
f.
Icon. The icon is the innermost part of a symbol which provides an
abstract pictorial or alphanumeric representation of units, equipment,
installations, activities, or operations.

g.
Modifiers. A modifier provides an alphanumeric or abstract pictorial
representation that is displayed in conjunction with an icon. It provides
additional information about the icon being displayed. Modifiers conform to the
bounding octagon and are placed either above, below or beside the icon.
h.
Amplifiers. An amplifier optionally provides additional information
about the symbol being portrayed and is displayed outside the frame. The
generic placement of amplifier fields is shown in Figure 1-4.
(1)

The bounding octagon serves as the spatial reference for placement of icons
and modifiers within the frame of a symbol (see Figure 1-10). It is divided into three
sectors specify where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is
available for sizing of icons and modifiers.
3.
Full frame icons occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the
main sector of the octagon and touch the interior border of the frame. Most icons do
not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the, but full frame icons are
exceptions to this size rule (examples see Figure 1-8). Full frame icons occur only in
the Land Dimension and Dismounted Individual Dimension (see Chapter 3 and 4).

Control measures are directives given to assign responsibilities, coordinate
fires and manoeuvre, and control operations. They may be boundaries, special area
designations, and other unique markings related to operational environment
geometry and necessary for planning and management of operations. Control

measure symbols provide graphical operational information that cannot be displayed
via icon based symbols alone.
a.
Control Measure symbols can be displayed as points, lines, areas or
tactical mission tasks (for examples see Figure 1-9), and can be combined
with other symbols, icons and modifiers.
b.
Control Measure symbols do not follow the same building rules as the
icon based symbols but shall be built in accordance with the rules related to
the individual Control Measure symbol groups.
2.
Colour usage is dependent on the system display background. Monochrome
systems will use black or white, and colour systems can use black, blue (friendly),
red (hostile), green (obstacles), or yellow (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear
(CBRN) contaminated area fill). Description, placement and further details of control
measure symbols are addressed in Chapter 8.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.3.1. Scope.
This section provides additional technical specifications concerning the composition
of symbols. These are intended to present requirements for an effective
implementation of military symbology and METOC.
1.3.2. Procedural Requirements.
1.
Symbol frame sizes shall be as depicted in Table 1-5.
2.
The minimum diameter of a dot should be 0.15L.
3.
Icons must not be so large as to touch the interior border of the frame. Only
full frame icons are an exception to this sizing rule because they occupy the entire
symbol and must therefore touch the interior border of the frame (see Figure 1-7).

The frame size shall be determined in relation to an octagon defining the outer
boundarв Пor all icons. “L” is thО dОПault lОnРth and hОiРht oП thО octaРon (See Table
1-5).
a.
Frame length and height may vary from 1.0L to 1.5L, depending on the
particular shape.
b.
The dimensions of unframed icons should be the same as framed
icons.
5.
The relative dimensions for the sectors in the building octagon shall be as
shown in Figure 1-10.

6.
It is critical that the line width is sufficient to ensure frame legibility and
discriminability at normal viewing distance. The optimum line width may differ
depending on frame size and be affected by whether the frame is filled or unfilled and
displayed in colour or black/white. Usability testing should be performed to identify
the optimum rendering for a given implementation.
7.
Table 1-6 contains the default colurs for use within this standard. Colour
saturation may need to vary depending on the display option(s) selected. For
example, to ensure optimum symbol discriminability, different shades of red may be
needed in a frame-only symbol as compared to the colour fill in a symbol with a black
frame and icon.

CHAPTER 2 AIR SYMBOLS
2.1.
SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for air assets and their activities. Air installations and
headquarters are covОrОd in űhaptОr 3 “Land Sвmbols”, whilО airspacО coordination
and planning is part of Chapter 8 “űontrol MОasurОs Sвmbols.”
2.2.
AIR OPERATIONS SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS
1.
Air assets use the third dimension in order to create effects that contribute to
the achievement of joint force commander objectives. Reach, speed and
manoeuvrability are some of their inherent capabilities.
2.
To depict in near real time large areas with fast moving airspace users
manoeuvring within all three dimensions, the following specific requirements for the
air picture production have to be met:
a.
The picture has to be updated near real time.
b.
Vectors have to be provided in order to help to anticipate movement of
own, neutral and hostile objects.
c.
АhОrОvОr known, rОlОvant data likО “aircraПt tвpО,” “call siРn,” “mission,”
“oriРin,” “dОstination” Оtc. havО to bО aППiliatОd to thО objОcts without cluttОrinР
the display.
d.
Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to
controllers.
e.
The display contains a multitude of non-military moving objects (civil
aircraft); airspace control and de-confliction means; fire support coordination
means; and installations (e.g. airfields).
2.3.
BUILDING AIR SYMBOLS
2.3.1. General
1.
This section establishes a single standard for developing air symbols. It
includes a variety of air related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building symbols.
However, no attempt to depict all possible air symbols has been made, but the
symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all air standard identities
defined in STANAG 1241.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
2.
Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any desired unit can be
depicted using the logical sequence provided in this chapter.
a.
When representing not yet defined units, select the most appropriate symbol
combination contained herein.
b.
Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols that
differ from those laid down in this publication.
c.
If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an
accompanying legend.
2.3.2. Air Symbol Composition.
An air symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon, modifiers, and amplifiers
(Figure 2-1).

2.3.4. Amplifier Fields
1.
The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize
the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e. on identity, location and
movement, capabilities. Figure 2-2 shows the placement of amplifier fields around
an air symbol frame. The placement of the label is the same regardless of frame
shape or affiliation.

Figure 2-2: Air Symbol Amplifier Fields.
2.
In comparison to amplifier fields for land symbols, air amplifier fields –
constitute a reduction in the amount of information displayed.
3.
On the tactical display:
a.
Information about a displayed object is conveyed by the symbol via
frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding. There may be additional
information that cannot be conveyed by graphical means, but by written
(alphanumerical) information only.
b.
Information can be displayed either in secondary information fields
outside the tactical screen, a method that forces the operator to a constant
shift of focus and will not be considered further in this text, or by use of
amplifier fields.
c.
Label is not shown in default mode. It is thО usОr’s task to dОПinО and
call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally,
the user must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce
screen clutter and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical
situation. Table 2-2 provides a list of amplifier field content for air symbols and
Table 2-3 provides a list of amplifier field content for weapons (missiles) in
flight symbols.

CHAPTER 3 LAND SYMBOLS
3.1.
Scope
As stated in Chapter 1, there are basic elements in the building of military symbols
that are common to all environments. This chapter elaborates on those common
elements, and is divided into three sections. Section 3.2 provides the basics for
building land unit, individual, and organization symbols. Section 3.3 provides the
basics for building land equipment symbols. Section 3.4 provides the basics for
building land installation symbols.
3.1.1. Land Symbol Hierarchy
Figure 3-1 shows the land symbol hierarchy sets generated to support planning and
conduct of land operations.
Figure 3-1: Hierarchy of Land Symbols.
3.2.
BUILDING LAND UNIT, AND CIVILIAN ORGANIZATION SYMBOLS
3.2.3. General
1.
This section establishes a single standard for developing land unit, individual,
and organization symbols (Individuals and organizations are civilian based). It
includes a wide variety of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building a wide variety
of symbols. However, no attempt has been made to depict all possible combinations,
but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all standard
identities for units, and civilian organizations.
2.
These land symbols are based on a hand drawn system that has been in use
for many years. As this system has been further developed for use for computer
generated graphics, the number of departures from standard rules has become
apparent to users. The user should be aware of this fact when using this system.
3-1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
3.
Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any desired symbol can
be developed using the logical sequence provided in this chapter.
a.
When representing unorthodox units, and civilian organizations, select
the most appropriate symbol contained herein.
b.
Avoid using any symbols or combinations and modifications of
symbols that differ from those in this publication.
c.
If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an
accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may have difficulty in
passing non-standard symbols.
3.3.
Land Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition
A unit, individual, or organization symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon,
modifier, and amplifiers (Figure 3-2).

STEP
DESCRIPTION
1. Choose the frame that matches the Standard
Identity and land symbol type of the object from the
land columns in Tables I, II, or III. In this example,
the Standard Identity is friend and the land symbol
type is unit.
EXAMPLE
The example depicts a “friendly unit.”
3-2
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
STEP
DESCRIPTION
2. Choose an icon for the symbol. In this example, the
icon is “infantry,” a land entity type. The infantry icon
is a full frame icon; therefore, the friend version of
the infantry icon shall be used with the friend frame.
If the frame were hostile, then the hostile version of
the infantry icon would be used.
EXAMPLE
The example depicts a “friendly infantry unit.”
3.
If required, choose a modifier to depict an additional
characteristic of the icon. In this example, the
modifier is “airborne,” a sector 2 modifier.
The example depicts a “friendly airborne infantry
unit.”
4.
The finished symbol will appear as shown in the
example.
Table 3-1. Unit, and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition Process.
3.3.2. Amplifier Fields
1.
The purpose of amplifier fields is to standardize the display of additional
alphanumerical information that graphically describes a units, and provides additional
information on capabilities, status, location, etc. Figure 3-4 shows the placement of
unit icon, modifier, and amplifier fields around the friendly land unit symbol frame.
The placement of unit icon, modifier, and amplifier information fields is the same
regardless of frame shape or affiliation. See Section 1.2., in Chapter 1 for a fuller
discussion of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers.

3.2.4. Icon and Modifier Placement inside Octagon.
Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and
modifiers within the octagon. The octagon is divided into three sectors that specify
3-7
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing
of icons and modifiers. Figure 3-3 provides examples showing the sectors for each
of the frame shape types. The lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary
based on the number of letters used.
Figure 3-3. Location of Icons and Modifiers.
3.3.4. Main Icon Procedural Requirements
1.
Icons in the main sector (Figure 3-5) normally reflect the main function of the
symbol, but in some cases can also reflect modifying information (e.g., armoured
engineers). In most cases, the dimensions of the icon will be sized to occupy as
much area in the main sector as is available. However, in some cases the icon may
be reduced to allow more room for modifiers for better recognition or to allow for one
icon to modify another (e.g., armoured/self-propelled artillery).

Figure 3-5: Main Icons Sector.
2.
Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the
octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. The only exception to the octagon
size rule are the full frame icons. Full frame icons can occupy the entire frame and
exceed the dimensions of the octagon main sector, and touch the interior border of
the frame. The diagonal lines used for full frames icons such as infantry,
reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be angled to conform to the shape of the frame.
Figure 3-6 displays the usage and placement of a full frame icon.

3.3.5. Land Unit Main Sector Icons.
Table 3-3 below shows the icons for use in land unit symbols in the main sector of
the field of the symbol.

3.3.9. Locating Land Unit Symbols
1.
The centre of mass of the unit symbol indicates the general vicinity of the
centre of mass of the unit. To indicate precise location or reduce clutter in an area
with multiple units, a line (without an arrow) extends from the centre of the bottom of
thО ПramО to thО unit location displaвОd as ПiОld “S.”
a.
10.
The line may be extended or bent as required as depicted in Figure 3-
Figure 3-10. Offset unit location.
b.
If a group of units (or installations) other than a headquarters is at one
location, the grouping of the symbols may be enclosed with a bracket and the
exact location indicated by a line from the centre of the bracket (see Figure 311).
Figure 3-11: Multiple units in same location.
2. Headquarters unit symbols include a staff or line drawn from the bottom left
hand cornОr displaвОd as ПiОld "S.”

symbols. It provides a wide selection of land equipment icons with a standard
method for constructing land equipment symbols. Once the user is familiar with the
prescribed system, any land equipment symbol can be developed using the logical
sequence provided in this chapter.
2.
The symbols shown in this section are adequate for depicting hostile units.
Avoid using any symbol that differs from those in this publication.
3.
If, after searching doctrinal icons, it is necessary to create a new symbol,
explain the symbol in an accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may
have difficulty in passing non-standard symbols.
3.4.2. Equipment Symbol Composition
1.
Land equipment symbols are normally composed of a frame which is optional,
colour (fill), equipment icon, modifier, and text or graphic amplifiers (see Figure 3-12).
2.
Icons and modifiers for equipment are displayed differently for weapons
systems and vehicles.
3.
Most of the icons fill the entire frame and their size modifier is part of the icon,
normally located in the main sector.
4.
The mobility is shown outside the frame as a graphic amplifier.
5.
A non-standard symbol is used for the building section to show a similar
pattern for development while showing the variation of this legacy system.

1.
Land equipment symbols use the octagon as described in chapter 1 in section
1.2.2., and as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers. Those icons and
modifiers will not extend outside the boundaries of the octagon (See Figure 3-14).
Figure 3-14: Icon Placement for Full Frame Icons.
2.
Most equipment icons are full frame icons. However, there are exceptions to
full frame equipment icons and those will be in the main sector (Figure 3-15).
Friendly frames (circles) are used in Table 3-17 simply to illustrate the framed
location of equipment icons. The frame shape appropriate to the equipment being
displayed would normally be used in practice.

symbols.

3.4.9. Equipment Size or Range Indicators
In building equipment symbols, horizontal or vertical lines are added for size or range
indicators. If an equipment symbol has no lines, it is a basic equipment symbol.
Adding one line designates it as light or short-range. Adding two lines designates it
as medium or medium-range. Finally, adding three lines designates it as heavy or
long-range. (See Table 3-19)

LAND INSTALLATION SYMBOLS
Installations are sites that incorporate permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary
structures.
3.5.1. General
This chapter establishes a single standard system for the development of a variety of
installation symbols. Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of
symbols, different from those in this publication. If, after searching the doctrinal
symbols and modifiers in this publication, a new symbol must be created, explain it in
an accompanying legend.
3.5.2. Installation Symbols Composition and Process
1.
An installation symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), installation icon,
text or graphic modifiers (Figure 3-17), and text or graphic amplifiers.
Figure 3-17. Installation Symbol Composition.
2.
Table 3-20 below outlines the steps used to build installation symbols.

CHAPTER 4 DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOLS
4.1.
GENERAL
This chapter establishes a single standard for developing land symbols representing
individuals. It provides a selection of icons capable of depicting dismounted soldiers
and other individuals with a standard construction method. Once the user is familiar
with the prescribed system, any symbol of an individual can be developed using the
logical sequence provided in this chapter.
4.2.
DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOL COMPOSITION
A land symbol for an individual soldier is normally composed of a frame which is
optional, colour (fill), icon, modifiers, and text or graphic amplifiers (see Figure 4-1).
(See Table 4-1 for the steps used to build land soldier symbols.)

4.2.3. Dismounted Individual Icons and Modifiers Placement inside Octagon
Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and
modifiers within the octagon. The octagon is divided into three sectors that specify
where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing
of icons and modifiers. Figure 4-3 provides examples showing the sector for each of
the frame shape types. The lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary based
on the number of letters used.

4.2.4. Dismounted Individual Main Icons
1.
Icons in the main sector (Figure 4-4) normally reflect the main function of the
symbol, but in some cases can also reflect modifying information (e.g., armoured
engineers). In most cases, the dimensions of the icon will be sized to occupy as
much area in the main sector as is available. However, in some cases the icon may
be reduced to allow more room for modifiers for better recognition (see Figure 4-5).

2.
Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the
octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. The only exception to the octagon
size rule are the full frame icons. Full frame icons can occupy the entire frame and
exceed the dimensions of the octagon main sector, and touch the interior border of
the frame. The diagonal lines used for full frames icons such as infantry,
reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be angled to conform to the shape of the frame.

Table 4-3 below provides an example listing of full frame icons for use in
symbols of soldiers and other individuals.

CHAPTER 5 MARITIME SYMBOLS
5.1.
SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for operations in the maritime Dimension, and
establishes a single standard and the basics for building maritime symbols for
maritime Dimension symbols
5.1.1. Maritime Dimension Symbol Characteristics
1.
The maritime Dimension is composed of the sea surface and subsurface
battle dimensions.
2.
In the maritime Dimension, a ship is both a unit and equipment, and is
normally represented by a surface or subsurface icon with equipment frame. Nonmanned equipment exists at the surface and in the subsurface dimension in
stationary or moving sensor carriers autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) or
stationary or moving weapons (mines and torpedoes).
3.
The surface dimension contains a multitude of non-military ships and
stationary objects (e.g. oil rigs), which are the primary objects of military operations
(protect, control, deny, access, and destroy).
5.1.2. General
1.
The chapter is divided into two sections. Section I covers sea surface
symbols and Section II sea subsurface symbols. Each section contains both military
and non-military, civilian symbols. The symbols are, accordingly subdivided into:
a.
Surface warfare units, equipment and objects.
b.
Subsurface warfare units, equipment and objects.
2.
Maritime control measure symbols (points, lines, areas, commands, standard
positions, emergencies, hazards and sonobuoys) are shown in Chapter 5.
5.2.
SEA SURFACE SYMBOLS
5.2.1. Symbol Subset Structure
The units, equipment, and objects of maritime surface operations as described in
paragraph 5.1.2., are further subdivided in:

b.
Amphibious warfare units.
c.
Mine warfare units.
d.
Task organization units military.
e.
Non-combatants /auxiliaries and service craft.
Non-military objects (ships, boats and installations).
5.2.2. Sea Surface Symbol Composition
1.
A sea surface symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icons
(pictogram and/or letters), modifiers and amplifiers (Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1: Sea Surface Symbol Composition.
2.
Table 5-1 depicts the sea surface symbol composition process.

Table 5-1: Sea Surface Symbol Composition Process.
5.2.3. Main Icons and Modifiers
1.
To ensure that all icons and modifiers can be depicted in all standard
identities, they must fit into the boundaries of the octagon presented in Figure 5-2
and adhere to the rules provided in Chapter 1.
2.
Main icons shall be placОd within thО “MAIN” sОctor oП thО bounding octagon.
Icons may be re-sized accordingly due to the presence or absence of modifiers in
order to optimise legibility. Icons may be single icons or compound icons.
3.
Modifiers may be placed above (octagon sector 1) and below (octagon sector
2) of the icon (see Figure 5-2). Only one modifier may be placed within sector 1 or 2
at a given time. Multiple modifiers in the same position are prohibited due to legibility
concerns.

5.2.4. Sea Surface Amplifiers.
1.
The purpose of the amplifiers described in this section is to standardize the
display of additional alphanumerical information on identity, movement and location,
capabilities, etc. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object is
conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding.
2.
The set of amplifiers for sea surface symbols including object name, position,
speed, and time, shall be displayed in the five standard amplifier scheme fields to the
right of the symbol. The speed leader is a dynamic amplifier that depicts the speed
and direction of movement (course) and originates from the centre of the object. The
length of the speed leader corresponds to the speed of the object. Figure 5-3 shows
the placement of amplifiers with a symbol frame. The placement of the amplifier is
the same regardless of frame shape or Standard Identity.
Figure 5-3: Sea Surface symbol amplifier fields.
3.
Maritime Dimension symbol amplifiers require a reduced amount of
information to be displayed in one position relative to the symbol as compared to
Land Symbols (see Chapter 3). Maritime amplifiers shall be placed to the immediate
right of the symbol as opposed to separate positions surrounding it.
4.
The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be
conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means.
5-6
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
a.
Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.
b.
Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen.
This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be
considered further in this text.
5.
In thО dОПault modО, thО ampliПiОr is not shown. It is thО usОr’s task to dОПinО
and call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the
user must be enabled to suppress the amplifier to reduce screen clutter and call it up
again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation.
6.
Table 5-4 provides the possibilities of information display for military and nonmilitary surface objects by amplifiers.

Sea Surface Main Icons
1.
The 2- and 3-letter codes used in the military sea surface icons are in
accordance with STANAG 1166 (Edition 7).
2.
Non-military, civilian sea surface icons:
a.
Displayed with a Standard Identity colour frame, but a white symbol
icon to differentiate from military units.
b.
The single letter codes used within the merchant ship icons are derived
from the STANAG 1166 as the 3rd letter specifying the type of the merchant
ship.
c.
Other types of non-military surface vessels, the icons/letter codes of the
symbol were chosen without STANAG reference.
d.
In ordОr to ОnablО thО opОrator to “dО-cluttОr” a larРО displaв, civilian
symbols may be displayed in reduced-size symbols without a frame but with
their Standard Identity colour.
3.
The symbols of Tables 5-5 through 5-18 are shown in the bounding octagon.

CHAPTER 6 SPACE SYMBOLS
6.1.
SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for space assets, related activities and other relevant
objects (debris) within earth orbit. Space-related ground installations are covered in
űhaptОr 3 “Land Sвmbols”.
6.1.1. Space Operations Symbol Characteristics
1.
Security and military operations are dependent on space capabilities for
command and control (C2), communications, situation awareness, and intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The persistence (always on orbit),
perspective (high altitude), penetration (no over flight restrictions), and presence
(ability to provide combat support without being physically located with forward
forces) of space systems provide forces beyond line of sight secure communications.
2.
In order to depict in near-real time large areas with fast moving space users
manoeuvring within all three dimensions, specific requirements for the space picture
production have to be met:
a.
The picture has to be updated in near real-time.
b.
Vectors have to be provided in order to help to anticipate movement of
own, neutral and hostile objects.
c.
АhОrОvОr known, rОlОvant data likО “tвpО”, “mission”, “opОrator”,
“capabilitiОs” Оtc. havО to bО aППiliatОd to thО objОcts without cluttОrinР thО
display.
d.
Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to
controllers.
e.
Depending on the scenario, the display may contain a multitude of
moving objects (debris).
6.2.
BUILDING SPACE SYMBOLS
6.2.1. General
1.
This section establishes a single standard method for developing space
symbols. It includes a variety of space related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for
building symbols. However, no attempt to depict all possible space symbols has
6-1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
APP-6 (Study Draft 1)
been made, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all
standard identities.
2.
Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, a symbol for any
conceivable object can be created using the logical sequence provided in this
chapter.
a.
When representing not yet defined objects, the most appropriate
symbol combination contained herein shall be selected.
b.
Any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols that differ
from those laid down in this publication should be avoided.
c.
If, after searching icons and modifiers given in this publication, it is
necessary to create a new symbol, the symbol shall be explained in an
accompanying legend.
d.
Automated systems may have difficulty in passing non-standard
symbols.
6.2.2. Space Symbol Composition
A space symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icon (main icon), and
modifiers (secondary icons) (Figure 6-1).
Figure 6-1: Space Symbol Composition.
6.2.3. Space Symbol Composition Process
Table 6-1 provides the steps used to build space symbols.

Table 6-1: Building Unit Symbols.
6.2.4. Amplifier Fields.
1.
The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize
the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e. on identity, location and
6-3

movement, capabilities. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object
is conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding.
2.
Space amplifier fields are to be displayed in one position relative to the
symbol, its right side and not in different and separate positions all around it. Track
number, name, position, and nation are considered essential information and
displayed in fields 1 through 5 to the right of the symbol. The placement of the label
is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. Figure 6-2 shows the placement
of amplifier fields around a space symbol frame.

3.
The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be
conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means.
a.
Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.
b.
Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen.
This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be
considered further in this text.
4.
In the default mode, thО labОl is not shown. It is thО usОr’s task to dОПinО and
call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the user
must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce screen clutter
and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation.

CHAPTER 7
STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS
7.1.
SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols used in relation to stability and civil support activities.
7.1.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Characteristics
1.
Alliance security interests can be affected by risks of a wide nature, including
acts of terrorism, sabotage and organized crime, and by the disruption of the flow of
vital resources. Additionally, the uncontrolled movement of large numbers of people,
particularly because of armed conflicts, can also pose problems for security and
stability affecting the Alliance.
2.
The joint force commander requires a set of symbols that provide the
capability to depict stability activities and civil support activities across the continuum
of operations. This set of symbols, as with the other sets in this publication, is built
upon the basics as described in Chapter 1.
7.2.
BUILDING STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS
7.2.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Composition
An activity symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), activity functional icon,
modifiers (secondary icons), and text/graphic amplifiers (Figure 7-1).

NOTE: Only one modifier is permitted
per modifier position.
There are no specific sector 2 modifiers at
this time.

7.2.3. Stability and Civil Support Activities Icon, Modifier, and Amplifier Fields
1.
The purpose of activity icon, modifier, and amplifier fields is to standardize the
location of information that graphically describes a stability and civil support activity
and provides additional information on capabilities, status, location, etc.
2.
The placement of activity icon, modifier, and amplifier information fields is the
same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. Figure 7-2 shows the placement of the
activity icon, modifier, and amplifier fields around the friendly activity symbol frame.

An alphanumeric designator for displaying a
date-time group (DDHHMMSSZMONYY) or
“O/O” for on order. The date-time group is
composed of a group of six numeric digits with
a time zone suffix and the standardized threeletter abbreviation for the month followed by
two digits. The first pair of digits represents the
day; the second pair, the hour; the third pair,
the minutes. The last two digits of the year are
after the month. For automated systems, two
digits may be added before the time zone suffix
and after the minutes to designate seconds.

CHAPTER 8 CONTROL MEASURE SYMBOLS
8.1.
SCOPE
This chapter establishes a standard system for the development and use of control
measures symbols. This chapter provides rules for automated and hand-drawn
symbols and examples for all control measure symbols. These control measure
symbols are the standard for all command and control systems and simulations,
including those used in live, virtual, and constructive environments.
8.1.1. Control Measure Symbol Characteristics
1.
Ultimately, the joint force commander and his forces must be capable of
accomplishing their mission, either directly or indirectly, by the employment of
capabilities to create physical or psychological effects, and be able to sustain such
operations for as long as is necessary to achieve operational objectives.
2.
The principal method by which this capability is delivered is through the
combination of joint operational capabilities and a range of mechanisms and control
measures.
3.
The standard system within this chapter provides:
a.
A series of control measure symbols that follow standard formats and
control measure symbols that follow standalone formats.
b.
Corresponding control measure symbol colouring.
c.
Proper labelling of control measure symbols
d.
Corresponding definitions to help add clarity in using these symbols.
8.1.2. General
1.
This chapter divides the control measure symbols into groups that correspond
to the joint functions of command and control to include joint targeting, manoeuvre
and fires, intelligence, force protection, sustainment, and deception under information
operations.
2.
The symbol groups are divided into the following control measure sections:
e.
Areas
f.
Command and control

Colouring control measures.
a.
Friendly graphic control measures will be shown in black or blue when
drawn manually or on a colour computer-generated display.
b.
Hostile graphic control measures will be shown in red. If red is not
availablО, thОв will bО drawn in black with thО abbrОviation “ENВ” placОd on
the graphic in at least two places.
c.
Obstacles as shown in this chapter, friendly, hostile, neutral, unknown
or factional, will be drawn using the colour green. If the colour green is not
available obstacles should be drawn using black.
d.
The colour yellow will be used for the cross-hatching for CBRN
contaminated areas. NOTE: The use of green and yellow for obstacles and
CBRN is in contradiction to the standard identities.
5.
Labelling control measures.
a.
Make all text labelling in upper case letters. The reader should be able
to read the labels for all text labels of modifier or amplifier fields for control
measures symbols when the bottom of the overlay is closest to the reader.
b.
Labelling written on an angle should be readable to the viewer so they
do not have to turn their head.

BOUNDARIES
In land warfare, a boundary is a line by which areas of responsibility between
adjacent units/formations are defined.
8.2.1. Boundary Composition.
1.
Boundaries are composed of the following:
a.
Line.
b.
The graphic for the highest echelon (Field B) unit on lateral boundaries
is used for the boundary line. The graphic for the lower echelon (Field B) unit
on a rear or forward boundary is used for the boundary line. (See Table 8-2)
When units of the same echelon are adjacent to each other, the abbreviated
echelon designator (Field T) can be omitted from the alphanumeric
designator. Tables 8-20 and 8-21 at the end of the chapter provide a list of
abbreviations and acronyms to be used for Field T.
c.
When the boundary is between units of different countries, the threeletter country code (Field AH) is shown in parenthesis behind or below the unit
designation.
d.
e.
line.
Numerals.
(1)
Arabic numerals to show the numbers of units.
(2)
Roman numerals to show the number of corps.
Field labels. All field labels are displayed perpendicular to the boundary
2.
Figure 8-1 below provides a boundary composition template that includes
orientation of field labels for horizontal (east/west) and vertical (north/south)
boundaries.

POINTS
1.
Point control measure symbols follow a specific format (sustainment, CBRN
decontamination, and special C2).
2.
Supply points follow this same format with a modification to the symbol.
Supply points use the same icon used for supply units. The supply icon is placed
toward the bottom of the box.
3.
This is format for use only with these types of points, as there are other points
(contact, coordination, decision, targets, etc.) as displayed throughout this section on
land control measure symbols that are formatted differently.
4.
Type of point is abbreviated and positioned inside the top part of the point
symbol in field A. For supply symbols this may be a graphic depiction.
5.
Below the abbreviation of the point name, the designation of the unit servicing
that point can be included in field T. To differentiate points, the point is numbered,
lettered, or a combination. The number, letter or combination is placed on the outside
of the symbol on the right side at the top in field T.
8-7
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED

6.
On the outside of the point on the left side at the top and middle, date-time
groups can be associated with the point.
7.
On the outside of the point at the top, additional information can be provided in
field H.
8.
Point symbols cannot be rotated and therefore text will not be written on an
angle.
9.
Figure 8-2 below provides Template for Point and Supply Point Control
Measure Symbols.
Figure 8-2: Template for Point and Supply Point Control Measure Symbols.
8.4.
LINES
1.
Line control measure symbols that follow a specific format.
2.
Most lines are also named as a phase line for easy reference for use in orders
and during transmissions.
3.
Phase lines will be marked as PL with the name in the T field. Other lines that
have a specific purpose and are also named as phase lines should have the primary
purposО in thО T1 ПiОld (such as rОstrictivО ПirО linО “RFL”) labОllОd on top oП thО linО at
both ends of the line inside the lateral boundaries or as often as necessary for clarity.
4.
The T2 field is used for fire support coordination measures to show the
designation of the controlling headquarters.
5.
The use of phase lines to mark line control measure symbols is not
mandatory.

AREAS
1.
Area control measure symbols that follow a specific format.
2.
Areas will normally be marked with the abbreviation for the type of area in the
A field followed by a name in the T field. This labelling should be in the centre of the
area unless the area is too small or the labelling would interfere with the locating of
units.
3.
Not all fields are required for each area, some areas may use only one field,
while other will use several.

8.6.
AREA OF OPERATIONS
1.
An area of operations is an operational area defined by a joint commander for
land or maritime forces to conduct military activities. Normally, an area of operations
does not encompass the entire joint operations area of the joint commander, but is
sufficient in size for the joint force component commander to accomplish assigned
missions and protect forces.
2.
Operational area is an overarching term encompassing more descriptive
terms for geographic areas in which military operations are conducted.

Operational areas include, but are not limited to, such descriptors as area of
responsibility, theatre of war, theatre of operations, joint operations area, amphibious
objective area, joint special operations area, and area of operations.

8.10. MARITIME CONTROL MEASURES
1.
Maritime control measures are used by NATO to help the maritime component
commander and his subordinate commanders to direct action by establishing
responsibilities and to prevent ships, units, or aircraft from impeding one another and
to impose necessary coordination.
2.
They aid in the cooperation among forces without imposing needless
restrictions on their freedom of action. In general terms, maritime control measures
can be broken down into the following groups: points, lines, and areas.
3.

8.12. FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATION MEASURES
1.
Fire support coordination measures are measures employed by land or
amphibious commanders to facilitate the rapid engagement of targets and
simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly forces.
2.
Fire support control measures should be labelled with the abbreviation of the
control measure, the controlling headquarters (Field T), and the effective times (Field
W/W1).
3.
Lines should have this labelling on both ends of the line and repeated as often
as necessary for clarity along any line that passes through many boundaries.

CHAPTER 9 METEOROLOGICAL SYMBOLS
9.1.
SCOPE
This chapter addresses control measure symbols in the atmospheric Dimension.
9.1.1. Purpose
In military operations, it is important to consider meteorological impacts as part of the
environmental conditions.
9.1.2. Meteorological Symbol Characteristics
1.
All meteorological parameters are strictly related to both time and space, and
they could represent observations or forecasts. Therefore, it is recommended to
display these sets in a separate layer.
2.
A meteorological symbol that displays an observation is always referred to a
three-dimensional geographic point or to the vicinity of that point.
3.
A meteorological symbol that represents a weather prediction is often referred
to a wider area which has to be delimited in a well-defined manner.
9.2.
ATMOSPHERIC ICONS
The set of meteorological symbols and graphics is based on approved symbols and
icons from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Table 9-1 below lists
atmospheric icon symbology.

ANNEX A
A.1.
SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES
PURPOSE
This annex outlines the procedures for developing symbol identification codes (SIDC)
for symbols in APP-6(D). The SIDC codes listed shall be used for machine-tomachine processing.
A.2.
SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES
A SIDC is a numeric code that uniquely identifies the elements needed to build an
APP-6(D)-compliant symbol. The SIDC provides the capabiltiy to exchange symbol
information in a bandwidth efficient manner.
A.3.
ELEMENTS OF THE SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES
1.
The SIDC is composed of eleven elements of information which are presented
in two sets of ten digits. An additional set of ten digits composed of three elements
can also be used optionally when an extension is required e.g. national or coaltion
operations (See Figure A-1).
2.
A Version Extension Flag (VEF) is used to indicate that the optional third set of
ten SIDC digits is being used:
When a VEF is used, it indicates that the extended information
conveyed by the optional third ten digits is related to the field in which the
VEF occurs. As an example, using the VEF in the Headquarters/Task
Force/Dummy field indicates that the information conveyed by the third ten
digits relates to headquarters and/or dummy or feint status.
a.
When used in a simple list SIDC field, the VEF shall be the last value
in that field. As examples, the VEF is value 9 in the one digit Status field and
value 99 in the 2 digit Symbol Set field.
b.
When a SIDC field is 2 bits but is not a simple list (the 2 digits each
have discrete but related values which combine to allow 10 sets each with 10
values), either the first or second digit shall be capable of being set to 9 to
represent the VEF. An example of this is the Unit Echelon/Equipment
Mobility/Naval Towed Array Amplifier field where the first digit expresses
echelon, mobility or naval towed array and the second digit is used to
express a value related to the first digit and also has a VEF of 9 for each
second digit list of values.
c.
d.
Only one VEF shall be used in a SIDC.

NATO UNCLASSIFIED
ANNEX A TO
APP-6
The version is comprised of two digits and identifies a version change for the SIDC
which occurs when there is a change in an established icon, modifier, or drawing rule
for a control measure symbol. Subsequent changes will create further version
changes for the SIDC. The basis for all symbol versions in all sets is APP-6.

Note: The first, second, and third sets of SIDC digits can each be represented in a computer system with a single
32 bit unsigned integer. The supported range of values for a 32 bit unsigned integer is 0 to 4,294,967,295. In
order to allow nine (9) as the largest value for each digit (for extension flag purposes) and to ensure each of the
ten digits is easily parsed, the allowable range of values for each part of the SIDC must be 1,000,000,000 to
3,999,999,999.

Standard Identity Implementation Guidance. The standard identities
are documented, and examples of the various frames used for each of the standard
identities illustrated, in Table 1-1. The standard identities themselves are also listed
in see Chapter 1, Section 1.2.1. The seven standard identities are grouped into four
Standard Identity groups each of which has an associated frame shape. The
Standard Identity groups are Unknown, Friend, Neutral and Hostile and the mapping
between them and the standard identities is as shown in Table A-4.

Table A-5: Symbol Set
2.
Symbol Set Implementation Guidance. A symbol set represents a collection
of symbol entities, sector one modifiers, and sector two modifiers. One or more
symbol sets is grouped into a given dimension. A dimension is a collection of
symbols that all share the same basic frame shape and amplifier placement
specifications. The various dimensions are further illustrated as columns in in
Chapter 1, Table 1-1 through 1-5 (see chapter1, section 1.2.1.). For any given
sвmbol’s SIDű, its contОxt, Standard Identity, dimension, and status codes assist in
determining which frame and associated fill is used to depict that symbol. Typically,
РivОn a collОction oП availablО ПillОd ПramО Рraphic (svР) ПilОs, a РivОn “aППiliation” or
“rОlationship” bОtwООn a sinРlО contОxt, sinРlО Standard Identity, single dimension,
together with status, will permit the identification and selection of a single best choice
for frame graphic (svg) file. The optional choice of drawing a frame using the
maРОnta Пill Пor “civilian” providОs a ПurthОr opportunitв to choosО a particularlв
appropriate graphic (svg) file for frame depiction.
3.
See Table A-6 for the relationships between dimensions and symbol sets and
terminology. Domains used in MIL-STD-2525 cut across Dimensions. MIL-STD2525C also refers to the concept of a Battle Dimension (Air, Space, Ground, Sea
Surface, Sea Subsurface, SOF, Other, and Unknown), and so, for clarity, Table A-6
also shows the relationships between the older concept of Battle Dimension and the
newer concepts of Domain, Dimension, and Symbol Set.

Echelon/Mobility/Towed Array Amplifier Implementation Guidance. An
amplifier can either be textual or graphical. Documented in Chapter 1, section 1.2.1.,
with further echelon indicator details in paragraph Chapter 3 Table 3-6, mobility
indicator details in Chapter 3 Table 3-19, and towed array amplifier details Chapter 3
Table 3-20, these codes allow, within the contents of an SIDC, for the inclusion of
three of the most commonly used graphic amplifiers. An individual graphic (svg) file
can bО idОntiПiОd Пor usО Пor a РivОn ampliПiОr basОd on an SIDű’s Standard Identity
group and its two amplifier code digits.
A.11. SECOND TEN DIGITS
1.
These digits define the icon and modifier contents of each symbol set:
a.
Digits 11 and 12 are the entity.
b.
Digits 13 and 14 are entity type.
c.
Digits 15 and 16 are entity subtype.
d.
Digits 17 and 18 are sector one (first) modifier.
e.
Digits 19 and 20 are sector two (second) modifier.
2.
Icons are the innermost part of a symbol. A symbol is, at most, composed of
one and only one icon or compound icon. Icons are fully defined in in section 1.2.
The SIDC structure is organized using a logical three-tier hierarchy based on first,
second and third order military functions; each tier (military function level) is
expressed using a pair of digits. A first order military function is expressed as an
Entity. Where there are second order military functions associated with a first order
military function, these are expressed as Entity Types. Similarly, if a second order
military function has related third order military functions, these are expressed as
Entity Subtypes. The placement of the digits representing Entity, Entity Type and
Entity Subtype can be seen in Figure A-1. Some entities and entity types are used
purely for hierarchical purposes, these are never associated with an actual physical
icon (an individual svg graphic file) and thus are never intended to be displayed.
Most entities and entity types, however, and all entity subtypes, are associated with a
single physical icon (an individual svg file). The icon used to represent a SIDC
should be that associated with the highest level of detail available i.e. the one that
reflects a non-zero-zero value at the most discriminating (i.e., lowest order) of the
Entity, Entity Type and Entity Subtype values. When the icon to be used is a full
frame icon (see section 1.2.) so by definition it touches the edge of the frame it is
drawn within, one of four graphic (svg) files needs to be used, based on the Standard
Identity group of the given SIDC.
3.
A symbol set is also comprised of up to two sets of sector modifiers (sector 1
and sector 2). Sector modifiers are defined in section 1.2., and their placement in
paragraph 1.2.2. The graphic (svg) file for a given sector one modifier can be
dОtОrminОd throuРh an SIDű’s sвmbol sОt and sОctor onО modiПiОr codОs. ThО

graphic (svg) file for a given sector two modifier can be determined through an
SIDű’s sвmbol sОt and sОctor two modiПiОr codОs.
a.
For example, an SIDC of 1003100216, 1204010051 would be
interpreted as:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
(9)
unit
(10)
(11)
10 = Original version of this symbol (no effect on how this
symbol is built/drawn)
03 = Reality context, friend Standard Identity, friend Standard
Identity group
10 = Land unit symbol set, which belongs to the land unit
dimension
0 = status of present
2 = headquarters/task force/dummy amplifier of headquarters
16 = echelon at brigade and below, specifically a
battalion/squadron echelon
12 = within the land unit symbol set, the movement and
manoeuvre entity
04 = within the movement and manoeuvre entity, an antitank/anti-armour entity type
01 = within the anti-tank/anti-armour entity type, an armoured
00 = within the land unit symbol set, no sector one modifier
51 = within the land unit symbol set, the wheeled sector two
modifier
4.
The above example would be drawn as shown in example of SIDC
Symbol Building (Figure A-2).
Codes Used
03 = Reality friend
10 = Land unit symbol set (and dimension)
0 = status of present
Graphic (svg)
All of the above values must be noted, in order to
select the single best graphic for the filled frame.
A-12
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Edition D Version 1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
ANNEX A TO
APP-6
3 = Friend
10 = Land unit
2 = Headquarters
All of the above values must be noted, in order to
select the single best graphic for the headquarters/task
force/dummy amplifier.
3 = Friend
16 = Echelon at brigade or below, battalion/squadron
The friend Standard Identity belongs to the friend
Standard Identity group, which in turn helps determine
which graphic (svg) to use.
10 = Land unit symbol set
12 = Entity is movement/maneuver
No icon is associated
with this entity
(hierarchical purposes
only)
3 = Friend
04 = Entity type within land unit movement/maneuver
entity is antitank/antiarmor.
Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of
friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed.
This icon would be used if this were the highest order
non-zero-zero military function code in this SIDC.
But it is not, in this example, the icon we desire.
3 = Friend
01 = Entity subtype within land unit
movement/maneuver entity and antitank/antiarmor
entity type is armored.
Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of
friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed.
Since this is the highest (3rd) order non-zero-zero
military function code in this particular SIDC, this
icon IS used, NOT the previous icon for
antitank/antiarmor.
00 = Sector one modifier code is zero.
A-13

A.12. THIRD TEN DIGITS
The third ten digit set of the symbol identification codes is to accommodate national
modifications/additions that are not included in APP-6. In particular, when a nation
(or approved entity) has a need to transfer symbol information to another allied
country/system then the third ten digit set provides an approved method to achieve
this capability. The third ten digit set starts with a three digit number pre-assigned to
nations (Table A-10 below) which indicates to a recipient the Symbology Originator
Identifier. The three digit identifiers for Symbology Originators are sourced from ISO
3166 Country Codes. The fourth digit is to be used by the Symbology Originator to
identify a particular symbol set. The remaining six digits are available for whatever
use the Symbology Originator decides. To correctly interpret a complete 30-digit
SIDC, requires the Symbology Originator utilizing the third ten digit set to provide
amplifying documentation to recipients. The third ten digit set should not be used to
reinterpret an approved APP-6 symbol.

COMPARATIVE FORMATION/UNIT DESIGNATIONS
GENERAL
The data given in this Annex has been provided by each nation. The designations
assigned by the various nations to their formations/units are shown against the
agreed size symbols listed in Chapter 3, section 3.3.8., Table 3-6 of this document. If
a nation has no formation unit of the size indicated by the symbol, no designation will
be entered. Nations not yet included in this Annex are invited to provide their unit
designations. With a view to making this Annex easier to understand, each military
symbol is accompanied by a group number, which is explained at the end of the
Annex.
