Navy Combines Communication And Platform Power

摘要

The U.S. Navy is steaming full speed ahead to make network-centric warfare a reality by merging its directorate in charge of communications, computers and space with the warfare requirements and programs directorate. The move is at the center of a new operational vision for the service called Sea Power 21 outlined by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Ver-non E. Clark, USN, Navy Pentagon, Washington, D.C. Network-centric warfare is a concept that originated at the Naval War College several years ago and has since been adopted by all of the services. The strategy is to leverage information during operations by sharing data and ideas. Information technology plays a critical role in its execution by facilitating communications.
