MARCHING TOWARDS NETCENTRIC ENABLEMENT

1. MARCHING TOWARDS NETCENTRIC ENABLEMENT

2. NETCENTRICITY A continuously evolving process of people, devices, and information interconnected by communication networks to optimise resources and provide superior information and environment to empower decision makers From an emerging concept to Military Operational capability

3. RELEVANCE TO MILITARY OPERATIONS Emerging Threats and Dynamic Operational Capabilities require Agile Response enabled by Secure Information Environment powered by Enabling Networks and IP Based Transformational Communications Full Spectrum Dominance enabled by Information Superiority

15. SPECTRUM: THE WAY AHEAD DEFENCE INTEREST ZONE • DEFENCE BAND • 2000- 5000 Mhz Band- 2270-2290, 2300-2690, 2900-3500, 4400-5000 Mhz(Total 1610 Mhz) • 5000- 10,000 Mhz Band- 7700-8200, 8500-9300 & 9500-10,000 MHZ (Total of 1800 Mhz) • 10-100 Ghz Band- 10.8-12.75,13.4-17.3,24.05-24.25 & 38.5-40.5 GHZ (Total of 8.05 Ghz) • 100-1000 GhzBand - NIL for def band

16. SECURITY “The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him: not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.” Sun Tzu

17. PEOPLE: DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAN CAPITAL PROCESS OF EVOLUTION Modulation of trade structures E Learning Automated evaluation Microblogs EDUCATION AND TRAINING Revision of syllabi Training of trainers Training of Infantry Signal Platoons ProjKshamta Sanchar Higher learning for officers BRING IT TOGETHER Innovation data base JIGs Committees Technology alone is not, people are a key component of Netcentricity

18. PHILOSOPHY FOR NETCENTRIC ENABLEMENT • Standards based approach • Circuit Switched to Packet Switched; hence IP • Create maximum Capacity, Availability, Reach and Mobility • Full use of Legacy, COTS and Modular technologies • Build-a-little, test-a-little, demonstrate capability • Develop a flexible and secure architecture that accommodates change • Interoperability • Innovative Indigenous solutions “ We are probably five years into a 20 year cycle of transformation, ----- there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that 15 years from now, when people reflect on these early days, the impact of technical, organisational, and developing of the human capital initiatives will stand out as daring and timely” Lt Gen SP Kochhar, AVSM**, SM, VSM, ADC, Signal Officer in Chief ASCON
