The NC3 Technical Architecture In the NNEC Environment

This outline discusses the structure, governance, and impacts of the NC3 Technical Architecture in the NNEC environment, including changes in Version 7 and implications for NATO, nations, and industry. The document highlights the NRF, NCORM, and the restructured NC3TA's role. It also examines the influences of NNEC and its effects on the architecture. This living document is annually updated through the RFCP process, incorporating feedback from various stakeholders. The text further delves into the restructuring drivers, feasibility study, and development strategies for C4ISR, emphasizing the evolving landscape of communication standards and profiles within the architecture.
