Network Centric Operations (NCO) leverages information superiority to enhance combat effectiveness in the Information Age. This concept integrates sensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness and rapid decision-making. By linking friendly forces, NCO boosts combat power through increased speed, lethality, survivability, and self-synchronization. Embracing a net-centric approach, NCO enhances operational capabilities and situational awareness for decisive warfighting advantage.

  2. What is Network Centric Operations? • Network Centric Operations (NCO) is an Information Superiority – enabled concept of operations that describes the way U.S. forces organize and fight in the Information Age • NCO generates increased combat power by networking sensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness, increased speed of command, high tempo of operations, greater lethality, increased survivability and a degree of self synchronization • NCO translates information superiority into combat power by effectively linking friendly forces within the battlespace, providing a much improved shared awareness of the situation, and enabling more rapid, effective decision making Source: Director, Force Transformation, "Creating a Decisive Warfighting Advantage", Winter 2003
