This Interface Control Document (ICD) describes the structure and sequence of data for communication between the current Navtech software systems and third parties. The data protocol is based on the eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML) as defined by the World Wide Web consortium (www.w3.org). 

The ICD is primarily concerned with the reporting of key system data, including alarms and track data, generated by the Navtech software and sensors.

This protocol is based on the latest version of Witness software. Earlier versions of the application may not support all the message content outlined in this document. Please check with the support team at Navtech Radar who can clarify what your version supports.

Updated ICD-001

The ICD-001 protocol has been enhanced and updated to support Witness V4.0. The underlying protocol has not changed and is fully backwardly compatible with V3.x, however the new features are only available in V4.0.

The ICD-001 documentation has moved to the Witness V4.0 section and can be found here.
