The [[NATO]] '''Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration''' (CWID) (formerly [[Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration]] till 2004) is an annual NATO Military Committee approved event designed to bring about continuous improvement in interoperability for the NATO Alliance. 

NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) provides direction and management to the programme, whilst NATO and Partner nations sponsor interoperability trials and demonstrations with specific objectives defined by ACT and National Leads. The NATO CWID programme focuses primarily on testing and improving the interoperability of NATO and national [[C4I]] systems, with particular emphasis on those that would be deployed within a [[Combined Joint Task Force]] (CJTF) or [[NATO Response Force]]. In addition to bilateral technical testing, NATO CWID provides a venue to conduct technical testing of fielded, developmental and experimental systems in the context of a coalition scenario. 

The event runs concurrent and shares elements of a common scenario with the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff CWID annual event. 2005 marked the eleventh anniversary of a highly successful programme. Two objectives were identified as major priorities for 2006: Conduct testing to validate the interoperability between C2I systems required for NRF rotations 9 & 10 in support of the certification process. Provide network tools to facilitate the management of information, enabling automatic discovery and integration technologies which promote loose coupling between C2 systems and components.
