Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium Overview

1. Network Centric Operations Industry ConsortiumOverview www.ncoic.org Version1.8 20060508

2. Our CauseDoD, DHS, NATO and MoDInternational Force Transformation • NCO is the underlying foundation of “Force Transformation” at the DoD and throughout the armed forces of our allies • New Theory of War based on Information Age principles and phenomena • New relationship between operations abroad & homeland security dealing with a considerably broadened threat context: • State/Non-State • Nodal/Non-nodal • Symmetric/Asymmetric • Traditional/Unrestricted

3. Our StrategyIndustry Leadership to Reduce NCO Time-To-Market • A Forum for Subject Matter Experts to Collaborate on NCO Initiatives: • Understand & Articulate Customer’s NCO Vision, Goals, and Objectives • Exchange strategies and proven approaches to enhance system delivery • An Organization Committed to Establishing Open, Interoperable Systems using Common Best Practices and Systems Engineering Techniques: • Facilitate Consistency Across Industry • Advocate for Open and Interoperable Systems Design • Companies Committed to Meeting the Government More Than Half-Way: • Understand Industry’s Responsibilities and Respond Proactively • Address the Problem, Take the Initiative, Understand the Requirements • Seek close collaboration with Government and Industry Worldwide

4. Our VisionCollaborate on Interoperable Open Standards • Vision: 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. • 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.

5. Our PurposeLeverage Proven Tools, Technologies & Best Practices • Increase interoperability within and among systems involved in Joint, Interagency and Multinational operations • Lower development costs and increase commonality of design in future systems – tailored standards and best practices • Improve force readiness through more rapid fielding of network centric systems – leverage technical “lessons learned” • Reduce systems cost and sustainability through re-use and commonality – facilitate ease of integration, upgrade, and support • Reduce Development Risk by Identifying the common components needed for the network centric environment – Develop them where none exist • Improve Force Effectiveness through new, more focused development on domain specific capabilities for the Warfighter

6. Our ReachGlobal Participation “I have two major goals: “1. Make NATO transformation needs as transparent as possible to industry “2. Stop wasting money on R&D that is ongoing in Europe and the US. “The consortium can help me to achieve these goals. We need industry involvement. What you are doing is important and it has to be done. Let me know what I can do to help.” General Kujat, Former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee “We can work together on the building blocks NATO needs to achieve network centric operations. There are several ways we can move forward to collaborate on technical activities.” Marshall Billingslea, Assistant Secretary General for Defense Investment
