The Challenge – Network of Networks, Resource Coordination, Operational Integrity and Cost Management

Globally, military systems have rallied around a series of computing standards including the US Department of Defense (DoD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK’s Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework [MoDAF]. These standards help military systems deliver C4I and C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence and Reconnaissance). As military systems are more deeply integrated into missions, increasing support for Network-Centric Warfare (NCW), Network Enabled Capability (NEC) and Network-Based Defense (NBD) is vital for them to provide:

• Reliable Delivery Network Centric Warfare and Defense – Reliable deployment of NCW systems is vital to data-driven decision models. Military applications require unique levels of field reliability, environmental support and remote management. The key to meeting these requirements is support for leading standards (that leverage shared parts, infrastructure and management models).
• Quality and Speed of Decisions – The quality, velocity and effectiveness of real-time decisions is only as good as the data they are based upon. Systems must be able to transmit accurate information across many types of systems in real time with minimal latency.
• Supporting Networks of Networks – The world is of full of networks and successful missions require the ability to reliably store, transmit, interchange and receive data from a variety of networks and support systems, flawlessly and securely.
• Using Standards to Drive Operational Cost – Budgets are a never ending concern for all organizations. One of the key value propositions for supporting leading industry and government standards is the ability to leverage lower costs for off-the-shelf systems.
