  1. NCW/NEC Workshop Working Group II

  2. Framework Strengths • Value of: • Metrics • Framework • Operational application of the framework (context) • Multiple analytical process(es) • Synthesis of results across multiple dimensions of the problem space (assessment) • Neutrality of framework: • Not prescriptive • Works across different national concepts (cf. Vetting scenario) • Starts to deal with Social/Organizational/Team/Culture Issues

  3. Brainstorm Issues • Social/Organizational/Team/Culture Issues • Dimensions of “Operating Environment” • Meaning of Metrics is Context Dependent • Concept of Analytic Framework • How do you value Agility? • Info Network vs. Knowledge Network • Federation of Networks • How flexible is the model to cover spectrum of situations? • Applying NATO COBP to the NCW Framework • What does “Organic” mean in an NCW context?

  4. Vetting Scenario • Offshore Island (Peacekeeping Operation) • May be aggressive • Need Air/Sea forces • Remove a bad regime who has removed democratic system • ? Global Reach/Use of NCW/EBO • Situation Awareness (organic and other) • Operation Planning • Lines of authority • Comm. Capacity • Info exchange • Degree of coalition alignment • Implement Plan • Bandwidth • Dynamic Re-tasking • Maritime Superiority • NCW to secure ships? • Air/Maritime Superiority (attained) • Logistical issues • Willingness to share (info/resources)

  5. Characteristics of Scenarios which are Drivers for NCW • Multi-national v. single nation • Single service v. joint • Ratio of organic v. non-organic assets • need for interoperability at different levels • need for collaboration / synchronization • Presence of NGOs • need to coordinate actions • Political sensitivity • need for ‘up-down’/vertical engagement • Remoteness of operation from national assets • need for sharing assets • availability of strategic assets / airlift

  6. Dimensions of Operating Environment • Number and diversity of players • who need to coordinate • who may have different objectives/expectations • Dependence on ‘non-organic’ assets • Location • Remoteness • Complexity (urban, littoral, jungle, etc.) • Mission Complexity (eg. political sensitivity) • Operational tempo / duration • Duality: Command structure/ Control-influence

  7. NCW Framework Issues • Remove Agility from “Effectiveness/Agility” • Social assumptions (Social Interoperability) • Use Framework as a Toolkit • How to use the metrics together (Aggregation/Scalability) • Operating Environment (internal not captured) • Shared Sensemaking (cultural diff. Metric) • Ability of Framework to • Assess options • Move to a higher MCP • Vulnerability (captured?) • Capture 3rd party threats to Network • Metrics in clusters • Used as a Diagnostic Analytical Tool • Remove NCW from title?

  8. What’s Next? • Multinational Exploration Mechanisms • Technology Related • TTCP • and wider • Operational Related…? • Test-drive Framework Across Different National Contexts • Vet the Framework (eg. Completeness) • Explore NCW Issues (eg. Single nation, Coalition) • Generate a common set of exemplar scenarios to allow comparison
