The starting point for the development of future Network Enabled Capabilities (NEC) is a well founded description of the operational environment, net-centric concepts of operations, and netcentric systems. We have started to define a reference framework for NEC concept development to help guide − The identification of the basic concepts of NEC operations; − The specification of the fundamental functions in a NEC environment; − The definition of the basic building blocks of NEC. A description of basic NEC concepts in the reference framework should also help in identifying impacted areas (e.g., R&D, system development, doctrine development) where follow-on work is required. One of these follow-on activities is experimentation with selected NEC concepts. Modeling and Simulation are two corner stones upon which the development of future Networked Enabled Capabilities will heavily rely. We intend to use the NEC concepts, as developed in our reference framework, as a starting point for simulation based experimentation to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and performance of their implementation in terms of virtual systems-of-systems and the associated command & control processes. Through M&S based experimentation, the required capabilities that will enable the Netherlands armed services to take part in future netcentric coalition operations, will be developed in an evolutionary and pragmatic manner. |
