Thanks Ken. That's useful.
Any clue for where one can get the DTD or Schema for that?
I googled it but find mostly other referential articles.
The concept is good: standardize only the essential core or
shareable elements (what, where, when) and reuse that across
the entire C2 network.

Fait accompli.
"The advent of Cursor on Target is a fundamental augmentation of existing
machine language standards," he continued. "Each battlefield system contains
a
myriad of data that takes time to learn and understand. CoT contains a kind
of
abstract of the key data that's common across the user communities. It
provides
a lightweight, simplified common interface language that contains the
important
elements. That means it can be quickly read, or understood, by the next user
community in the chain.
CoT isn't just a drawing board initiative, however, but is already at war
and
scoring impressive successes. Developed by a team comprising ESC, MITRE, Air
Force Special Operations Command, Air Force Research Laboratory and the
Navy,
CoT was initially designated for deployment to special forces units to
provide
improved time-critical targeting. Tests have shown that sensor-to-shooter
paths
enabled with CoT software improve the speed of the process by nearly 70
percent,
while also significantly increasing firepower accuracy."
