Partnership for Peace Information Management System
General Information
The mission of PIMS is to enable efficient reliable information exchange between PfP countries and the NATO community – a key first step in the orderly process of incorporating Partners into NATO initiatives. PIMS will facilitate the rapid communications and coordination required to support individual PfP objectives as well as the overall goals of the PfP Program. By extending economical communications connectivity and an automated means for common access to information, PIMS will help support an enviornment conducive to multinational cooperation in Europe. PIMS is a US bilateral program which supports the strengthening of US-Partner relations and PfP mission enhancement through Information technology. The Program was established on the premise that each Partner has relevant and pertinent information to contribute and is also in the best position to determine its own information requirements. Collaborative database development provides a practical approach towards leveraging information resources for the benefit of all users and future coalition partners. O&M cost sharing provides an economical means of accommodating individual needs for processing, connectivity, maintenance, system familiarization, and other technical services, when PIMS hardware is required. The terms of both arrangements are implemented through Memoranda of Agreement between US DOD and PIMS-installed Partners.
