4. Network-Centric or Net-Centric? • Network implies infrastructure • Net-centric supports non-linear relationships and increased tempo of operations

5. Net-Centric Operations & WarfareA Transformation Enabler Net-Centricity is a transformation enabler that empowers all users with the ability to easily discover, access, integrate, correlate and fuse data/information that support their mission objectives. Netted force

6. Power to the Edge 1. Make information available on a net that people depend on and trust Department of Defense Transformation Planning Guidance April, 2003 2. Populate the net with new, dynamic sources of information to defeat the enemy 3. Deny the enemy advantages and exploit weaknesses Future Directions For Defense “Services will explicitly identify initiatives to improve … adoption of “post before process” intelligence and information concepts, achievement of data level Interoperability; and deployment of “net-ready” nodes of platforms, weapons and forces.

8. DoD’s Net-Centric Data Strategy • The Net-Centric Data Strategy (signed May 9, 2003) is a key enabler of the Department’s transformation: • The Strategy provides the foundation for managing the Department’s data in a net-centric environment, including: • Ensuring data are visible, accessible, and understandable when needed and where needed to accelerate decision making • “Tagging” of all data (intelligence, non-intelligence, raw, and processed) with metadata to enable discovery by known and unanticipated users in the Enterprise • Posting of all data to shared spaces for users to access except when limited by security, policy, or regulations • Organizing around Communities of Interest (COIs) that are supported by Warfighter, Business, and Intelligence Domains.

9. Producers of data maketheir data visible by advertising their data in catalogs Producers ensure data is accessible by posting data to a secure, shared storage space Producer Consumer Streaming video available. “Tagged” with discovery metadata; video available in “shared space” via data access service. Metadata added to catalog. Automated search of sources using discovery metadata. Pull data of interest. Using registered format, definitions, and core services, translate into needed structure. Consumers of data search catalogs to discovery what data assets are visible Data is accessed from shared storage space Consumer understands what the data is because its context and structure are described Security Services (e.g., PKI, SAML) Ubiquitous Metadata Global Shared Data Catalogs Nets Space Enterprise & Community Services Application Services (e.g., Web) Metadata Registries The structure and semantics of certain data assets are provided by developers increasing the ability to understand and use the data asset Developer Understands the data format to build applications that post, process, exchange, and display information.

11. The Global Information Grid DoDD 8100.1 The GIG supports all Department of Defense, National Security and related Intelligence Community missions and functions in war and in peace. The GIG encompasses the globally interconnected, end-to end set of information capabilities, associated processes and personnel for collecting, posting, distributing and managing information on demand by warfighters, policy makers and support personnel.

12. GIG Has A JTF Focus

13. Joint Capabilities Integration & Development And The GIG Architecture CJCSI 3170.01C “As they are developed, the integrated architectures will provide the construct for analysis to identify capability shortfalls, compare alternatives for improving joint warfighting capabilities, and associated resource implications.” The GIG Architecture represents information use and Information Technology in the capabilities process Fits Here

14. Where we are moving to: The Net-Ready KPP • Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP). The NR-KPP assessesinformation needs, information timeliness, information assurance, and net-enabled attributes required for information exchange and use. The NR-KPP consists of measurable and testable characteristics and/or performance metrics required for the timely, accurate, and complete exchange and use of information to satisfy information needs for a given capability. The NR-KPP is comprised of the following elements: • Compliance with the Net-Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW) Reference Model (RM) • Compliance with applicable Global Information Grid (GIG) Key Interface Profiles (KIPs) • Verification of compliance with DoD information assurance requirements • Supporting integrated architecture products required to assess information exchange and use for a given capability

15. Information needs … Information timeliness … Information assurance … Net-enabled … • Information Needs: A condition or situation requiring knowledge or intelligence derived from received, stored, or processed facts and data. • Information Timeliness: Occurring at a suitable or appropriate time for a particular condition or situation. • Information Assurance: Information operations that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. • Net-Enabled: The continuous ability to interface and interoperate to achieve operationally secure exchanges of information in conformance with enterprise constraints.
