  1. This is a Journey We are on this journey together… Dave Bryan Major General (R), U.S. Army Vice President Information Technology Sector March 21, 2005

  2. Outline Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Where were we? • Where are we? • Where are we going?

  3. Purpose Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Present historical context, current state of play, and future destination We are on this journey together!

  4. The Fact Historical Context Current State of Play Future • People insist on being human, therefore organizational culture barriers are the biggest hurdle… Transformation is not just about technology….

  5. C4I for the Warfighter (C4IFTW) Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Why Interoperability? • Now it is all of us at war, and we’re repeating too many of the same mistakes • Interoperability is essential among all participants • When the OPTEMPO goes up, interoperability is even more important Interoperability is THE force multiplier!

  6. Platform-Centric Historical Context Current State of Play Future Desert Shield/Desert Storm 584 problems! • Stovepipe • Function • Organization • Mission • Systems Interoperability – major challenge!

  7. Platform-Centric Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Policy • Doctrine • Acquisition • Testing • Training • Technology • Standards • Architecture • STDN/JWID

  8. C2 systems • Intel/Sensor • Weapons Systems • Business Systems The “Double-edged Sword” Net-Centric Historical Context Current State of Play Future

  9. Knowledge-Centric Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Human Factors: • Assign value • Discern meaning • Make judgments • Decide • Act • “Infosphere” • “Smart push, warrior pull” • Turn on, plug in • Bandwidth not limiting factor • P2E2I/OTAU • Biological model Note!! All 3 phases are simultaneous and continuous.

  10. Historical Context Current State of Play Future There’s no going back… • Nobody wants to be less informed, less interoperable, less agile, less flexible, and less decisive! Past Current Future “…war is the norm, peace is the exception, change is a steady state… continuous transformation…” – General Kevin Byrnes

  11. Historical Context Current State of Play Future “Net-Centricity” is in full swing… • Every SERVICE and AGENCY has multiple Network-Centric programs underway • This represents a sunk cost investment of more than $6B! • Combat experience is validating the concept DCGS DoD IA GLSS-AF TCS Network Centric Enterprise Services TCA SATCOM GIG-BE WIN-T JTRS BMC2 Horizontal Fusion AKD DoD Identification Management JC2 FCS Network-Centric – necessary but not sufficient to achieve objective state.

  12. Historical Context Current State of Play Future Environment Continues to Evolve Historical Context Current State of Play Future • Nano/micro technology… • IPv6… • Wireless explosion… • A new kind of “network” • Vulnerabilities • Interdependencies • Behaviors • Speed times times equals Future could be chaotic if we don’t prepare!

  13. Historical Context Current State of Play Future New View – Knowledge-Centric JV 2020 JV 2010 JV 2000 Knowledge Centric Network Centric Platform Centric Mechanical Model Biological Model • Smart Push • Warriors pull • Automatic Push • Warriors pull • Autonomous Push • Warriors pull Knowledge-Centricity adds human dimension, decision precision, intelligent machines… We must plow this ground together – philosophically, intellectually, doctrinally, technically.

  14. Questions Historical Context Current State of Play Future • People insist on being human… • Biological model is worth examining… • Human centric is the destination… • There is no going back… • We are in this journey together… To secure the high ground of knowledge – centricity!
