Achieving Joint Battle Command in Network Centric Operations

摘要

Network Centric Operations, in the context of this paper, consists of much more than "network centric warfare." It connects the joint war fighting "enterprise" with tactical "decider-sensor-effector" linkages. It includes the integration of all levels of warfare operations and, in particular, integration with the cognitive processes employed by battle commanders. Network Centric Operations have the potential to provide information superiority to the battle commander but only if the system is Joint-Oriented and Commander-Centric as well as network-centric.
