3. A method for communicating between a mobile platform and a control device, comprising: generating a first packet of mobile platform specific information at said mobile platform; sending said first packet of mobile platform specific information from said mobile platform to a translating subsystem; using said translating subsystem to convert said first packet of mobile platform specific information to a second packet of common language information understandable by said control device, said common language information including a common language command and common language data; using a publication manager of the translating subsystem to publish the second packet of common language information to said control device via a Global Information Grid (GIG); sending said second packet of common language information from said GIG to said control device; using the control device to receive a new command from a user; using the control device to generate a third packet of common language information relating to the new command; using the GIG to send said third packet of common language information to a subscription manager of said translating subsystem; using said translating subsystem to translate said third packet of common language information to a fourth packet of mobile platform specific information; and using said publication manager of said translating subsystem to transmit said fourth packet of mobile platform specific information to said mobile platform.
