Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world enters a new millennium, the U.S. military simultaneously enters a new era in warfare -- an era in which warfare is affected by a changing strategic environment and rapid technological change. The United States and its multinational partners are experiencing a transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Simultaneously, it is fully engaged in a global war on terrorism set in a new period of globalization. These changes, as well as the experiences gained during recent and ongoing military operations, have resulted in the current drive to transform the force with network-centric warfare (NCW) as the centerpiece of this effort. This document describes how the tenets and principles of NCW are providing the foundation for developing new warfighting concepts, organizations, and processes that will allow U.S. forces to maintain a competitive advantage over potential adversaries, now and in the future. In sum, the report provides an overview of the ongoing implementation of NCW in the Department of Defense (DoD). A brief description of NCW, including its origins, its central role in force transformation, its tenets and principles, and an implementation strategy, are provided in Chapter 1. An examination of NCW as an emerging theory of war, its relationship to the four domains of Information Age warfare, the growing evidence of its benefits, and the warfighting advantages it can provide are examined in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 focuses on network-centric operations (NCO), including the relationship of NCO to the overarching Joint Operations Concepts (JOpsC), the NCO experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, the development of the NCO Conceptual Framework, and the conduct of NCO case studies. An overview of Joint and Service plans and initiatives to develop and implement network-centric capabilities and the growing investment in these capabilities by our allies and multinational partners are provided in Chapter 4.

Download or read book Network Centric Warfare Implementation and Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines three primary questions: (1) What is the definition of network-centric warfare?, (2) Are the military services implementing the network-centric warfare concept?, and (3) Is the network-centric warfare concept a new theory of warfare or rather a modification or extension of previous theories? To answer these questions, various publications on network-centric warfare and the various military service transformation plans were reviewed. The definition of network-centric warfare developed is the linkage of people, systems, and platforms to form a self-synchronized networked force that creates shared battlespace awareness for information superiority and speed of command. A review of the services transformation plans showed that the services may not be using the same terms, but they are implementing the concepts of network-centric warfare. The study concludes that network-centric warfare is not a new theory of warfare, but a concept that supports the maneuver theory of warfare, similar to the concept of blitzkrieg developed by Germany prior to World War II. To emphasize this the term "network-enabled warfare" is suggested as a more appropriate term.

Download or read book Effects Based Operations written by Edward Allen Smith and published by Dod-Ccrp. This book was released on 2002 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 fundamentally changed our security environment. The system of strategic deterrence in place since the beginning of the Cold War visibly collapsed. Now we are trying to fashion a new strategic deterrence that relies not so much on retaliation as on prevention, either stopping the terrorists outright, deterring the sponsors, or convincing them that terror cannot succeed. To help us deal with the pressing problems of the post-September 11th world, we have three ongoing technological revolutions in sensors, information technology, and weapons. These technologies can enable us to think differently about how we organize and fight. Indeed, this is what network-centric operations are about. Their true impact derives from how they are applied. Narrowly applied, they would produce more efficient attrition, yet they clearly can do much more. The concept of effects-based operations is the key to this broader role. It enables us to apply the power of the network-centric operations to the human dimension of war and to military operations across the spectrum of conflict from peace, to crisis, to war, which a new strategic deterrence demands. The broad utility of effects-based operations grows from the fact that they are focused on actions and their links to behavior, on stimulus and response, rather than on targets and damage infliction. They are applicable not only to traditional warfare, but also to military operations short of combat. Effects-based operations are coordinated sets of actions directed at shaping the behavior of friends, foes, and neutrals in peace, crisis, and war. In brief, network-centric operations are indeed a means to an end, and effects-based operations are that end.
Download or read book Distributed Networked Operations written by Jeff Cares and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed Networked Operations describes a refinement of what popularly has been called "network centric operations." Distributed networked operations envision combat conducted by large numbers of diverse, small units-rather than by small numbers of generally homogenous, large units. In theory and to a significant extent in practice in Afghanistan and Iraq, distributed networked operations involve a mixed bag of naval, ground and air units, none of which is individually as powerful as a fleet, air wing or armored division. Author Jeff Cares discusses distributed networked operations from the perspective of adaptive control theory and details implications for force structure, hardware employment, and networked competition. Jeff presents a formal model of Information Age combat and explores the civilian business applications of the theory.
Download or read book Network Centric Operations written by Clay Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network Centric Operations (NCO; also known as Network Centric Warfare) is a key component of Dept. of Defense (DOD) planning for transformation of the military. NCO relies on computer equipment and networked communications technology to provide a shared awareness of the battle space for U.S. forces. Proponents say that a shared awareness increases synergy for command and control, resulting in superior decision-making, and the ability to coordinate complex military operations over long distances for an overwhelming war-fighting advantage. NCO technology saw limited deployment in Afghanistan and, more recently, increased deployment in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). This report, issued in 2007, provides background information and discusses possible oversight issues for Congress regarding DOD's strategy for implementing NCO, which formed a central part of the Bush Administration's plans for defense transformation. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book Over Emphasis on Network Centric Warfare written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are in the midst of a revolution in military affairs unlike any seen since the Napoleonic Age, when France transformed warfare with the concept of levee en masse." This revolution is the transition from platform-centric warfare to network-centric warfare. A change in concept is driven by a societal shift from the industrial age to the information age. In 2001, as society transformed to meet the challenges of the information age, the Department of Defense (DoD) established the Office of Force Transformation (OFT). A top priority of the OFT is to "implement Network Centric Warfare (NCW) as the theory of war for the information age and the organizing principle for national military planning." NCW theory, concepts, tactics, techniques, and procedures should continue to develop; however, the amount of emphasis placed on acquiring new NCW systems should be reasonable. NCW holds promise for the future, but is not fully ready for implementation into combat on today's battlefield. There are significant issues relating to security, reliability, and training that need to be resolved prior to full implementation of NCW. Once these issues are resolved, network-centric warfare will revolutionize how wars are won in the information age.

Download or read book C4ISR for Future Naval Strike Groups written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group; recommendations for C4ISR architecture for use in major combat operations; promising technology trends; and an examination of organizational improvements that can enable the recommended architecture.
Download or read book Network Centric Warfare A Bridge Too Far written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network Centric Warfare (NCW) is viewed as the bedrock of transformation and future warfighting (i.e. common operating picture flattening command and control by connecting strategic level commanders to tactical level warfighters). However the moral domain of conflict having been largely ignored by NCW advocates will in all likelihood prohibit its successful implementation at the lowest level of warfighting; the tactical level. Therefore in future conflict the author believes that it is this domain the moral domain that if not completely understood and taken into account will limit if not prevent the full potential and exploitation of Network Centric Warfare as envisioned by its advocates. This research paper is relevant to the strategic operational and tactical levels of warfare in that NCW is clearly a major pillar in the quest for transformation of United States military forces. If the human dimension is a single point of failure in Network Centric Warfare then the NCW concept needs to address this issue and identify the relationship and human interface required to successfully achieve and propel this future capability from a concept in its present form to a reality in its application.
