Military operations in a new world scenario (6/6) Modern Operations can be implemented thanks to the net-centric doctrine

Network Enabled Capability, linking together sensors, decision makers, and effectors in a seamless, collaborative, environment is the key enabler element of the net-centric doctrine 28th May 2009

NCOIC (Network Centric Operations Industrial Consortium) mission is to facilitate global realization of the benefit inherent in Network Centric Operations. To that end, NCOIC seeks to enable continuously increasing levels of interoperability across the spectrum of joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational industrial and commercial operations. 28th May 2009

System engineering in the NEC transformation process (4/7) Tools already defined by NCOIC

• NIFTM (NCOIC Interoperability Framework) NIF provides a repository for organizing the enabling guidance developed by NCOIC. NIF affords interoperability implementation guidance to allow firms to develop system elements/nodes interoperable with systems/nodes being developed by others

• NCATTM (Network Centric Assessment Tool) The purpose of NCAT is to measure Network Centric interoperability of reference models, architectures, systems, programs, organizations or capabilities

• SCOPE (Systems, Capabilities, Operations, Programs and Enterprises) The SCOPE model is designed to characterize interoperability-relevant aspects or capabilities of a system or set of systems over a network

• NCOIC Patterns A pattern is a canonical solution to a problem. NCOIC Patterns typically show relationships among entities involved in Network-Centric Operations 28th May 2009

System engineering in the NEC transformation process (5/7) NATIONAL

• MDAF (Ministry of Defence Architectural Framework) compliant to NAF (NATO Architectural Framework) • NATO Standards • NCOIC tools under evaluation and waiting for a general consensus on their adoption 28th May 2009
