1. Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium Updatewww.ncoic.org Industry working together with our customers Approved for Public Release NCOIC Jan07-100v1

2. Industry working together with our customers to provide a network centric environment where all classes of information systems interoperate by integrating existing and emerging open standards into a common evolving global framework that employs a common set of principles and processes. • Vision: • Mission: Our mission is to facilitate global realization of the benefit inherent in Network Centric Operations. To that end, we seek to enable continuously increasing levels of interoperability across the spectrum of joint, interagency, intergovermental, and multinational industrial and commercial operations. We will execute this mission in good faith as a global organization with membership open to all enterprises in quest of applying the vast potential of network centric technology to the operational challenges faced by our nations and their citizens. Achieving the Vision & Mission

7. What customers are saying: • “NCOIC and DISA are pursuing similar and complementary paths in developing network centric capabilities and addressing information assurance challenges. We are looking forward to working side-by-side as an NCOIC member with the many world-class technology organizations actively involved in NCOIC’s groundbreaking work.” Lt Gen. Charles E. Croom, Jr, USAF, Director of DISA • “In cooperation between NATO and industry, NCOIC is proving to be of critical importance !” Marshall Billingslea, ASG/DI NATO, ACT Industry Day, AFCEA-Chapter Europe • “The American Red Cross is very pleased to be a newer member of the NCOIC because we fully support the work the Consortium is doing to enable emergency communications interoperability across the defense environment and now with the public safety and emergency responder sectors. NCOIC efforts will improve the ability of emergency response teams around the world to more quickly and effectively respond to natural and man-made disasters. The result will be lives saved that would otherwise be lost, and a greater sense of global partnership to enable public preparedness and response.” Steve Cooper, CIO, American Red Cross • “NATO can only be successful in this NNEC enterprise if NATO and its Allies work together with industry from the beginning.” Major General Georges d’Hollander, vice-chairman of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Headquarters Board

11. What NCOIC members are saying: • "If you work in government today, it's a huge, time-consuming challenge to review all the good IT-related ideas coming from industry.  In providing help, the NCOIC was created to bring potential solutions to decision-makers more quickly.  This is why it's important for government organizations to join the NCOIC.  Through government membership, our industry consortium gains first-hand benefit from the customers' perspectives, and government has an opportunity to influence industry thinking in early product developmental stages.  The end result of government membership in the NCOIC will be better products delivered faster -- a benefit to both government and industry.“ Lt. Gen. Harry Raduege, USAF (Ret), Deloitte & Touche LLP and former Director, DISA. • “NCOIC will illuminate the issues that help decision-makers set policies on interoperability frameworks. Key examples involve policy decisions on the degree to which new systems need to be backward compatible, and the advisability of  upgrading old systems to be interoperable with new capabilities.”  Dr. Paul Kaminski, former Undersecretary of Defense, Acquisition & Technology • “Working in NCOIC provides a unique education in NCO/NEC concepts, standards, and technologies, as well as a broader understanding of customer requirements.  The work undertaken gives engineers the opportunity for early utilization of netcentric analysis tools, and a broad technical network of experts to call upon.”  Steve Russell, L-3 Communications • “NCOIC is an important institution for accelerating the government's acceptance of NCO. We serve as a constructive change agent to help the government move in the direction of NCO. NCOIC may open the door to teaming opportunities to Bearing Point; NCOIC offers access to senior government decision makers.” Paul MacGreevy, Bearing Point Executive Council Member • "The NCOIC is the organisation within which governments and industry are working together to accelerate global interoperability in network centric operations. We are all committed to facilitating this work through technical cooperation and information sharing." Dr. Edgar Buckley, Thales, NCOIC European Executive Coordinator and former Assistant Secretary General Defence Planning and Operations, NATO
