Architecture Engineering: An Essential Role for Net-Centric Enablement within NATO

摘要

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is presently undergoing an information age transformation, one that embraces a relatively new concept known as NATO Network Enabled Capability (NNEC). Based primarily on the Network Centric Warfare (NCW) paradigm, the intent of the NNEC is to leverage and improve upon the quantity and quality of information made available to the warfighter-peacekeeper anytime, anywhere, i.e., upon demand. This paper examines the benefits of net-centric enablement and highlights a work in progress by the NATO Open Systems Working Group (NOSWG), of the NATO C3 Board Information Systems Sub-Committee that is currently underway.
