  2. Linear Operations Non-Contiguous Areas of Operations Non-Linear Operations • Area-Centric • Simultaneous Asymmetric Operations • Low Data Demand • High Information Demand • Large Footprint • Embedded, Multi-Functional • Voice Reliant • Collaboration Reliant • LOS Backbone • Ubiquitous Transport Evolving IT War Fight: A Changed Paradigm Yesterday….. ….Tomorrow Contiguous Areas of Operations Linear Operations 2

  3. Driving the C4 Evolution , • Emerging Strategic Environment • Enhanced Nationalism & Rejection of the West • Ungoverned groups – terrorism • Readily available information technology • Technological acceleration • Unstable power balances Information Age (R)evolution 1977 1987 1997 2007 Main Mini- Personal Network Ubiquitous Frame Computing Computers Computing Computing From 1989-1999, there were 38 US military deployments …..about once every 14 weeks Just Cause Provide Comfort Allied Force Enduring Freedom Network-Centric Information Advantage “The two truly transforming things, conceivably, might be in information technology and information operation and networking and connecting things in ways that they function totally differently than they had previously.” - Secretary Rumsfeld, Aug 2001 • Information • Quality • Content • Accuracy • Timeliness • Relevance Network Centric Operations The Way Ahead Local Regional Global
