CHAPTER 1
SCOPE
101. SCOPE 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 NATO Land Component Command, Control, Communications,
Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems, development, operations, and training. This
publication addresses the efficient transmission of symbology information within the infosphere
through the use of a standard methodology for symbol hierarchy, information taxonomy, and
symbol identifiers. The standard applies to both automated and hand-drawn graphic displays.
These symbols are designed to enhance NATO’s joint interoperability by providing a standard
set of common C4I symbols. It is important to remember that the graphics of this document are
not all inclusive, and other standards may apply. Additional symbol sets will be provided when
this document is updated. This publication is derived from US Military Standard (MIL-STD) -
2525A, Common Warfighting Symbology, which is a joint manual.
102. PURPOSE APP-6A replaces APP-6. The contents of APP-6A constitute a single
system of joint military symbology for land based formations and units, which can be displayed
for either automated map display systems or for manual map marking. This publication covers
all of the joint services and can be used by them. It is the aspiration of the land component, that
the other services will adopt this standard, which is already applicable in a number of NATO
nations.
103. APPLICABILITY This standard applies to all NATO land components directly or
indirectly involved with C4I operations, system operations, system development, and training
within the context of NATO land component operations. APP-6A will serve as the standard
symbol set for all future NATO land component uses of C4I symbology. The standard can be
applied to mapping/charting, weather, cockpit display, and engineering design symbology to the
extent that it is usable by these communities. The standard will apply to all future use of
symbols in two dimensional and electronic display systems in C4I environments.
1. APP-6A combines the symbology from two separate usage domains, referred to as the
"force domain" and the "engagement domain." These domains use operational symbology in
support of their C4I functions. When these two domains are integrated, this symbology
provides the basis for a final standard solution for C4I symbology.
1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
3. Symbology used in the "engagement domain" has evolved from the requirement to plot
sea and air tracks on cockpit, radar, weapons control, and command and control tactical
displays. US Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) and US Naval Tactical
Data System (NTDS) symbology, and most recently , "Display Symbology and Colors for
NATO Maritime Units," have been the primary sources for track symbols used within the
"engagement domain".
104. CONTENT APP-6A contains tables that provide the user with standard frames
(geometric borders, see table I) and icons, along with guidelines for their use. Each of the
icons listed can be cross-referenced to the information hierarchy (taxonomy) and the symbol
coding scheme, annexes A and B respectively. The information hierarchy contained in appendix
A provides an organization or structure for C4I symbology which encompasses the tactical
information commonly exchanged via symbology. Each symbol category and icon is given a
number that is cross-referenced to a symbol code provided in appendix B. Also provided is a
tactical graphics section (appendix E), which addresses lines, areas, points, fire support
planning graphics, nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) symbology, and bearings. If
common operational symbology is implemented to visually display or present symbology, the
capability must comply with the provisions of this publication.
1. This system was devised on the following information and is included only as a
reference for the NATO nations. Symbols should comply with the National Imagery
Transmission Format Standard (NITFS) when formed and disseminated. The NITFS
implementation of the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM), MIL-STD-2301, should be used
for input interpretation and output generation of symbol representations. MIL-STD-2500
should be used for file formation and digital exchange of imagery, symbology, and other
imagery-related products. The symbol coding scheme in MIL-STD-2525A is the preferred
code for all symbol transmissions in the DOD. If necessary, the coding scheme may be
translated at the user system; however, to ensure interoperability, a common code for warrior
symbol constructs developed using CGM across joint interfaces is necessary and is made
standard in this document. Transmission vehicles are being concurrently developed in the
United States Message Text Format (USMTF) (GRAPHREP message) and Variable Message
Format (VMF) communities. The aspiration for APP-6A is that it will be compatible with
APP-9.
2. Additional icons, refinement of the hierarchy, refinement of the coding scheme, and
additional tactical graphics will be developed and presented in future updates of this publication.
Special symbol sets will be released as they are developed.

CHAPTER 4
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
401. OBJECTIVE The standardization of operational symbology shall play an integral role
in achieving interoperability during joint service operations. While the primary focus of this
standardization is the electronic generation of symbology, this effort must also support those
mission requirements where symbology is hand-drawn. In addition, this publication is designed
so that all essential symbology information can be communicated on either a monochrome (i.e.,
black, white, or single color) or multicolor-capable display.
1. Frame. The frame is the geometric border of a symbol which, when displayed,
provides an indication of the affiliation, battle
dimension, and status of a operational object.
The frame is the border of the symbol and FRAME
COLOR FILL
does not include associated material inside or (GEOMETRIC BORDER)
3. Icon. The icon is the innermost part of a symbol which, when displayed, provides an
abstract pictorial or alphanumeric representation of a operational object. The icon portrays the
role or mission performed by the object. This publication distinguishes between icons that must
be framed or unframed and icons where framing is optional. Information about framing is
provided in paragraph 5.3.3 and appendix C; framing requirements for individual icons are
presented in annex D.
12
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
405 SYMBOL MODIFIERS A modifier is an optional text field or graphic indicator that
provides additional information about the associated symbol or tactical graphic. This publication
defines various types of modifiers and indicates where each is to be placed in relation to a
symbol or tactical graphic, see 5.5.
406 SYMBOL ID CODE A symbol ID code is an alphanumeric code that can be used to
transfer the information required to generate and display symbols and tactical graphics. The
coding scheme used in this identifier is explained in detail in annex B.
13

CHAPTER 5
DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
501 OBJECTIVE To promote interoperability at the information level within the area of
operational symbology, it is necessary to define a standard set of rules for symbol construction
and generation to be implemented in C4I systems. The rules in this publication are considered
to be the minimum necessary to ensure that information about operational symbology is
exchanged successfully across national and organizational boundaries.
1. Frame (geometric border. When a frame is included in a symbol, its shape shall indicate
the affiliation, battle dimension, and status of the object being represented. Table I provides
the approved frame shapes that present affiliation and battle dimension for operational
symbology. A frame can be black or off-white depending on display background, or it can be
coloured, using the default colours in table C-II, to provide enhanced presentation information
about affiliation. Information on display options is presented in paragraph 5.6.1 and annex C.

Notes: 1) Frames displayed with solid lines, as shown above, indicate status as present, i.e. position is as
provided.
2) Frames in the above table shall be displayed with a dashed outline border to represent a planned or
anticipated position status.
b. Battle dimension. Battle dimension defines the primary mission area for the
operational object within the battlespace. An object can have a mission area above the
earth's surface (i.e., in the air or outer space), on the earth's surface, or below the
earth's surface. If the mission area of an object is on the earth's surface, it can be either
on land or sea. The land dimension includes those mission areas on the land surface or
close to the surface (e.g., land mines and underground shelters), whereas the sea surface
dimension includes only those objects whose mission area is on the sea surface. The
subsurface dimension includes those objects whose mission area is below the sea surface
(e.g., submarines and sea mines). The codes for battle dimension in the symbol ID code
are presented in annex B. To clarify which battle dimension should be used for a given
object, maritime surface units shall be depicted in the sea surface dimension, aircraft
shall be depicted in the air/space dimension, and ground equipment shall be depicted in
the land dimension. An aircraft or an aircraft unit that is comprised of aircraft only,
regardless of service ownership, shall be depicted in the air dimension. However, an
Army or Marine helicopter unit is a maneuvering unit (i.e., a unit whose ground
support assets are included) and is represented in the land dimension. Likewise, a
landing craft whose primary mission is ferrying personnel or equipment to and from
shore is a maritime unit and is represented in the sea surface dimension. However, a
landing craft whose primary mission is to fight on land is a ground asset and is
represented in the land dimension. As shown in table I, a closed frame shall be used to
16
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
denote the land and sea surface dimension, a frame open at the bottom to denote the
air/space dimension, and a frame open at the top to denote the subsurface dimension.

3. Icon. In order to decide on the common operational symbology in this standard, it was
necessary to identify the full range of C4I information required by the land component at the
command level. The taxonomy used in this standard was adapted from one presented in
STANAG 4420 and then extended to address information related to ground units. Due to the
fact that the taxonomy was organized hierarchically, the detailed information it contained
provided a logical structure from which to generate a set of icons representing operational
17
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
objects. The information hierarchy is presented in annex A, and the mapping of operational
icons to the hierarchy is included in annex D. The icons in annex D shall be used whenever a
system displays any of the operational objects for which an icon is provided. Not all
information about objects can be related to a specific affiliation or battle dimension; therefore, it
is possible to have an object represented by an icon alone. Annex D indicates whether an icon
shall be framed or unframed or whether framing is optional. Military ships, both sea surface
and subsurface, military aircraft, military units, and installation icons are always associated with
an affiliation and battle dimension and so shall be framed. Only those icons specifically
identified as unframed or frame optional shall be displayed without a frame.
504 TACTICAL GRAPHICS Tactical graphics include tasks, control measures, points,
lines, areas, aviation manoeuvre graphics, deception graphics, offense/defense graphics, special
manoeuvre graphics, mobility/survivability, fire support graphics, combat service support,
command and control, and operations other than war, and can be combined with icons and
symbol modifiers to display operational information. The definition and placement of tactical
graphics are addressed in annex E. The graphics in this annex shall be used whenever a system
displays any of the operational information for which a graphic is provided. Default colour for
tactical graphics will be black or white, depending on display background.
505 SYMBOL MODIFIERS The field title, description, and maximum length of
allowable modifiers are presented in table III, and the default placement of modifiers in fields
around the symbol or tactical graphic is shown in figures 3a through 3c. Figure 3a addresses
units, installations, and equipment; the placement of modifiers in this figure applies to all units
regardless of battlespace dimension. Figure 3b applies to points, areas, lines, and boundaries.
Figure 3c addresses NBC events. In figure 3b, certain fields can be displayed more than once
within a graphic. The unnumbered fields should be filled before the numbered fields, (i.e.,
fields W, H, and T should be used before fields W1, H1, and T1). As indicated in table III,
not all modifiers are applicable to all symbols or graphics. However, when any modifier is
displayed, it shall be defined in accordance with the contents of this table and positioned in
accordance with figures 3a through 3c.

2. Text. Table III defines the specific content of each text-based symbol modifier. Air/space
and sea track numbers are included in field T and positioned as shown in figures 3a through 3c.
Staff comments and additional information are contained in fields G and H, with the content of
these fields being implementation-specific so long as the maximum number of characters in each
field is not exceeded.
506 DISPLAY. The following rules relate to the construction of operational symbology and
apply to those display requirements necessary to achieve interoperability in joint service operations.
Additional guidance concerning symbology implementation is provided in annex C.
2. Arrangement of symbol modifiers. When symbol modifiers are displayed, the symbol itself
should be centered within field A (see figure 3a), and the position of all modifiers should remain
the same whether the symbol is framed or unframed. While the relative placement of the fields
should be maintained, implementation and size constraints within a system may require fields to be
offset or not displayed. Text modifiers placed to the left of the symbol should be right justified,
and text placed to the right should be left justified. When multiple text modifiers are displayed in
26
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
a single field (e.g., E/F or J/K/L/N/P), they shall be ordered as shown in figure 3a and separated
by a single space, and the spaces assigned to unused modifiers shall be collapsed to bring the text
as close to the symbol as possible. Text modifiers placed above the symbol should be bottom
justified and centered. Text below a symbol should be top justified and centered.
3. Plotting. The plotting of symbols shall be based on the object's geometric center. The
geometric center indicates the general vicinity of the center of mass of an object. If a location offset
indicator is displayed with a symbol, the base of the indicator shall indicate the object's location.
If a group of objects is displayed at one location, the group may be enclosed with a bracket and
the location of that group identified with a location indicator. Other display options for reducing
clutter when symbols overlap or are co-located are considered to be implementation-specific. The
positional accuracy of symbology plotting is also considered implementation-specific.
4. Symbol orientation. The frame and icon in framed symbols shall be displayed in the
orientation illustrated in annex D. Equipment in the land battle dimension can be rotated to face
the direction of movement only when the symbol is unframed.

B.1 GENERAL
B.1.1 Scope. A scheme for symbol ID coding permits information systems to display and pass
information about symbols and graphics to other systems for use and display. This appendix outlines
an example of procedures for determining a symbol ID code.
B.3 DEFINITIONS
B.4.1.1 Code scheme, position 1. This position indicates the overall symbology set to which
a symbol belongs.
B.4.1.2 Affiliation, battle dimension, and status, 2, 3, and 4. These positions determine the
frame shape of a symbol and indicate its actual or planned location.
B.4.1.3 Function ID, positions 5 through 10. These positions identify a symbol’s function,
with each position providing increasing levels of detail and specialization. The specific values for
these positions are included with the symbol ID codes in Tables B-III through B-X.
B.4.1.4 Size/mobility indicator code, positions 11 and 12. These positions identify the size
and mobility of a symbol. Table B-II contains the specific code values used in these positions.
B.4.1.5 Country code, positions 13 and 14. These positions identify the country with which
a symbol is associated. Country code identifiers are listed in Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) Pub 10 series.
B.4.1.6 Order of battle, position 15. This position provides additional information about the
role of a symbol in the battlespace. For example, a bomber that has nuclear weapons on board may
be strategic force-related, or a tactical graphic may also perform the role of a control point.
B-1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
B.4.2 Symbol ID code tables. Tables B-III through B-VIII list the codes for space, air,
ground, sea surface, sea subsurface, and special operations symbols, respectively. Tables B-IX and
B-X list the codes for tactical and weather graphics. In each table, an alphanumeric character
indicates the known value for that position for a given symbol. An asterisk (*) indicates a position
that is defined by the user based on specific symbol circumstances. A dash (-) indicates that no
information is provided in the position.

ANNEX C
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
C.1 GENERAL
C.1.1 Scope. This appendix provides additional technical specifications concerning the display
of warfighting symbology. These specifications are intended to present guidance to assist in
defining effective implementations of both icon-based symbols and tactical graphics.
C.3 DEFINITIONS
C.4.1 Relative symbol and modifier dimensions. The relative size of each symbol and symbol
component shall be consistent within a given implementation. Each of these sizes can be related
to length L (see C.4.2) as follows:
a. Frame size shall be determined in relation to an octagon defining the outer boundary
for all icons. L is the default length and height of the octagon. Frame length and height should
vary from 1.1L to 1.5L, depending on the particular shape, as shown in figure C-1. The
minimum diameter of a dot should be .15L.
Air and Space Surface Frames (units, equipment and installations) Subsurface frames
1.3L 1.3L
1.44L
C-1
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Air and Space Surface Frames (units, equipment and installations) Subsurface frames
b. In general, icons should not be so large as to touch the interior border of the frame.
Figure C-2 illustrates example exceptions to this size rule. The icons in this figure
occupy the entire frame and must, therefore, touch the interior border of the frame.
The dimensions of unframed icons should be the same as framed icons
C-2
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
c. The height of text information in a symbol modifier will be .3L. The length of the lines
in a direction of movement indicator should be the same as the height of the symbol frame. The
headquarters staff indicator should extend a distance of one frame height below the bottom of the
frame. When a symbol is reduced to a size smaller than three lines text, the text will be positioned
so that the symbol is centered relative to its associated field identifier text to maintain the
relationship between the symbol and text.
C.4.2 Symbol size. Symbol size is directly related to the viewing distance of the warfighter
from the display surface on which the symbol is presented. MIL-STD-1472D recommends a
minimum size of 20 minutes of arc subtended visual angle (arc min.) for distinguishing targets of
complex shape on a cathode ray tube, without regard to the effect of color coding. The following
formula can be used to determine symbol size for a given implementation:
(VA)(D)
L= -------------
(57.3)(60)
where VA is the visual angle in arc minutes, D is the viewing distance in inches, and L is the
symbol size in inches. Table C-I presents symbol dimensions at 20, 30, and 40 arc minutes for
selected viewing distances. In general, medium to large symbol sizes (i.e., subtending 30-40 arc
minutes) are recommended; however, implementors should conduct usability testing to determine
the optimum symbol size(s) at which warfighter performance is most effective.

40 .233 in. (5.92 mm) .349 in. (8.87 mm) .465 in. (11.82 mm)
C.4.3 Placement of multiple icons. Symbols that define many Army units are complex and include
original size icons overlaid onto each other. Some complex symbols require the icon to be shifted or
reduced in size so that it will be visible (see figure C-3).
C.4.4 Adding temporary features to standard symbols. The information taxonomy and symbol
hierarchy included in this standard provide a logical structure from which to define a set of design
rules for the construction of symbols. A single graphic feature or attribute was selected to
represent each type of information known about a warfighting object, with the same feature
included in the symbol whenever that type of information is represented. In appendix D, the
description of an object in terms of its position within the information hierarchy directly maps to
the graphic features included in the icon. For example, whenever a helicopter object is rendered,
one feature of its icon is a "bow tie" graphic. Each icon in appendix D was constructed from the
combination of graphics consistent with its position within the hierarchy The approach taken in
this standard differs from the concept of icons as composites of graphic "primitives" in that the
placement of a given feature may vary as needed to maximize legibility when the icon is displayed
within a frame. When implementations require temporary extensions to the symbology provided
in this standard, the following display rules apply:
C-4
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
(1) Implementations shall not modify the frame shapes defined in this standard to indicate
affiliation, battle dimension, and status.
(2) Implementations shall use the default frame colors defined in this standard to indicate affiliation.
If differentiation is needed within an affiliation category, additional colors should be used (i.e., for
the frame or color fill) within that category, but the default colors for the other affiliations should
not be changed. Hardware permitting and unless specifically prohibited by system specification for
operational reasons, implementation of this standard should provide for operator control of color
to the individual icon level. The intent is maximum operational flexibility in those situations where
the basic default colors are not sufficient for ready discrimination (i.e. multiple hostiles which must
be differentiated from each other) and to assign a specific color to a special interest target without
reference to its affiliation.
(3) Implementations needing to display additional role or mission information about a warfighting
object should use the icons in appendix D as the basis from which to create any temporary
symbols. Figure C-4 presents some of the graphic extensions that can be added to these icons.
Whenever possible, the basic representation of the icon should not be altered; a graphic extension
should be an addition to the basic icon and positioned to ensure that overall symbol legibility is not
degraded. Figure C-4 provides an example of how the basic icon is combined with an extension
to produce a temporary symbol.
C.4.5 Line width. Because the symbol frame indicates both the affiliation and battle dimension
of an object, it is critical that line width be 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 or displayed in color or black/white. Usability
testing should be performed to identify the optimum rendering for a given implementation.
C.4.6 Color. It is important that implementations maximize the contrast between symbols and
C-5
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
the display background in order to provide optimum discriminability. In general, this contrast can
be provided by using black for the frame, icon, and modifiers when symbols are displayed on a
light background, and using white for these elements when symbols are displayed on a dark
background. Implementations choosing to display a color fill shall also display the appropriate icon
from table D-1 within the symbols. Implementors should select specific values (e.g., in CIE or
RGB terms) for the default colors in table C-II based on considerations such as operational
requirements, hardware configuration, display background, and viewing conditions (e.g., ambient
lighting). If a symbol includes a frame and an icon, both components, as well as others, should be
the same color (e.g., black, white, or one of the default colors indicating affiliation). Implementors
should conduct sufficient usability testing to ensure effective operator performance when using the
symbology. While color coding shall be the same throughout an implementation, color 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 color fill in a symbol with a black frame and icon.

Note: Off-white (vice black) may be used as the default color depending on the background for boundaries, lines,
areas, text, icons, and frames.
C.4.7 Icon placement within frames. The geometric center of the icon should be placed at the
geometric center of the frame, as shown in table C-III, except in the hostile, friend, assumed friend,
faker, joker, and suspect open frames. In these frames, the geometric center of the icon should be
placed one-third of the way down the vertical axis starting from the open end, as shown in table
C-III.

ANNEX D
ICON SET
D.1. GENERAL
D.1.1. Scope. The icons generated to support common operational symbology have been
divided into multiple sets. These sets present the icons that provide for information exchange
within a functional area. These functional areas are command and control (C2), satellite, and
communications.
D.3. DEFINITIONS
D.4.1 Operational Symbology Icon Set. The icon set is ordered according to the tactical
information hierarchy presented in Annex A and coded according to symbol coding presented in
Annex B.
D.4.2 Icon Graphic Representation. Table D-I provides a graphic representation of each
approved icon. The sizes, shapes, and positioning of components of individual icons are
important and should be faithfully reproduced both by C4I system automation and manually by
symbology users. Icons portrayed are all the same size and their size is not affected by being
framed or unframed. Annex C specifies both the minimum icon size and the relationship of icon
size to frame size. Therefore, the relative size of the icons as shown in the table is not important.
Icon size is determined by the user or system developer, as long as the requirements of the
standard are met. Icon axes as presented in the table are to be maintained when the icon, framed
or unframed, is placed onto maps, charts, overlays, etc. Icons depicting equipment from a top-
down view shall be oriented to point toward the top of the page.
D.4.3 Organization of Table D-I. In Table D-I, the Description column provides a
concise description of each icon using terminology commonly used within the C4I community.
The Hierarchy column presents the information hierarchy (taxonomy) number described in
Appendix A. The Frame column presents Icon framing codes described in paragraph 5.3.1: F
(framed), UF (unframed), FO (frame optional.) An icon with a framing code of F is presented
only within its appropriate frame. An icon with a UF framing code is always presented
unframed. An icon withan FO framing code can be presented with or without a frame and in
Table D-I is shown both ways. The Symbol ID column under each Affiliation column
(Unknown, Friend, Neutral, Hostile) presents the 15-character alphanumeric identifier necessary
for automated systems to create each specific icon. Since all symbols do not necessarily use all
D-1

NATO UNCLASSIFIED
15 characters, a dash (-) fills each unused position. An asterisk (*) in a position indicates that the
position is user defined based on specific symbol circumstances.

ANNEX F
WEATHER SYMBOL SETS
F.1 GENERAL
F.1.1 Scope. This annex provides for the weather symbol sets from operational domains
outside the current realm of APP-6. Although these domains are outside the scope of the previous
document, it is beneficial to present the information to users of this document as a separate annex.
F.3 DEFINITIONS
The following graphics are some of those more commonly used to depict weather and
should only be used on weather-related displays. These graphics must be implemented as a
separate layer or classification since they may conflict with other symbols or icons used in the
operational icon set. These graphics are based on approved symbols and icons from the World
Meteorological Organization.

i.e., as viewed from above, the circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern W*A*PL----*****
Hemisphere, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, undefined at the Equator. Because
cyclonic circulation and relatively low atmospheric pressure usually coexist, in common
practice the terms cyclone and low are used interchangeably. Also, because cyclones often
are accompanied by inclement (sometimes destructive) weather, they are frequently
referred to simply as storms. 2. Frequently misused to denote a tornado. 3. In the
Indian Ocean, a tropical cyclone of hurricane or typhoon force.
