NXS-NST
NXS-NST (civilian common operating picture) is the civilian common operating picture: one shared view of an unfolding situation, its resources and its tasks, for the agencies coordinating a response.

Agencies responding together each see a different picture.
NXS-NST is defined in system profile NRS-S2 of the Nexus Standards. In a multi-agency incident, the fire service, utilities, health authorities and local government hold separate maps and logs. Incident management practice calls for a common operating picture so that decisions rest on the same facts, with clear ownership of each layer.
- Shared situational layers with source and time.
- Task and resource tracking across agencies.
- A record that supports after-action review.
The standards a design like this is read against.
| Reference | Relevance |
|---|---|
| ISO 22320 | Incident management, including command and coordination |
| ISO 22301 | Business continuity management |
| OGC standards | Interoperable map layers across agencies |
What it exchanges with the other systems.
- Takes observation layers from NXS-EOP (earth observation and digital twins) and warnings support from NXS-EWS (multi-hazard monitoring and warning).
- Hands decision questions to NXS-DSS (decision cases and deliberation).
The ten rooms of NXS-NST.
NXS-NST has the eight rooms every Foundry system shares, set to its own authority, and two specialist rooms, Incidents and FieldOps. Each is described by the work it is designed for; the public register records NXS-NST as declared, not deployed.
| Room | Kind | Designed to |
|---|---|---|
| Station | Shared | Operate, inspect and correct authoritative domain posture for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Mission | Shared | Coordinate bounded objective-oriented intelligence and human handoff for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Builder | Shared | Design, engineer and prepare governed changes and artefacts for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Maps | Shared | Inspect and compose spatial, temporal and world-model intelligence for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Data | Shared | Work with data, ontology, Chronotopes, graphs, scientific methods and risk for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Commons | Shared | Work with policy, law, standards, clauses, obligations and assurance for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Reports | Shared | Compute, model, synthesise and visualise governed analytical products and reproducible reports for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Knowledge | Shared | Work with institutional memory, records, citations, runbooks and learning for civilian common operating picture and field coordination |
| Incidents | Specialist | Maintain a corroborated incident record that joins field observations, affected assets, impacts, uncertainties and response context |
| FieldOps | Specialist | Coordinate authorised civilian resources and assignments against operational needs |

Where NXS-NST subjects are taught.
Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium, teaches the subjects practised in NXS-NST in these disciplines; the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) links to the Academy as a partner and does not provide its courses.
