3. What is Network Centric Operations?
Network Centric Operations (NCO) is an Information Superiority – enabled concept of operations that describes the way U.S. forces organize and fight in the Information Age
NCO generates increased combat power by networking sensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness, increased speed of command, high tempo of operations, greater lethality, increased survivability and a degree of self synchronization
NCO translates information superiority into combat power by effectively linking friendly forces within the battlespace, providing a much improved shared awareness of the situation, and enabling more rapid, effective decision making

18. In a Nutshell
Historic Opportunity...“The Department must align itself with the on-going information revolution...by developing information-enabled organizational relationships and operational concepts.”
“Transforming how we fight....it hinges on development of future joint warfighting concepts”
SECDEF’s Transformation Planning Guidance (April 2003)
The stage is set for DOD to harness the information revolution
Our industry partners are the cornerstone in making this happen
Net result must be a coalition capable, seamless, interoperable and protected communications platform to propel our forces to dominate and win in a joint warfighting environment
