Tensor-Centric Warfare VI: A Global Warfare Model

Knowledge versus Network Centric Warfare

WISDOM-II: A Network Centric Model for Warfare

With recognition of warfare as a complex adaptive system, a number of AgentBased Distillation Systems (ABDs) for warfare have been developed and adopted to study the dynamics of warfare and gain insight into military operations. These systems have facilitated the analysis and understanding of combat. However, these systems are unable to meet the new needs of defence, arising from current practi...

A Taxonomy of Network Centric Warfare Architectures

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is committed to transitioning, over time, to Network Centric Warfare (NCW). NCW sees the elements of the ADF as “nodes” in a network. The capability of such a force is determined not so much by the individual capabilities of each node, but by the systems properties of the network as a whole. In this paper, we provide a taxonomy of possible NCW architectures, i...

A Dialectic for Network Centric Warfare

Power to the edge is a result of technological advances that will, in the coming decade, eliminate the constraint of bandwidth, free us from the need to know a lot in order to share a lot, unfetter us from the requirement to be synchronous in time and space, and remove the last remaining technical barriers to information sharing and collaboration – Mr John Stenbit, (Alberts & Hayes, 2003:pp.xiii).

Implementing Net-Centric Tactical Warfare Systems

The tactical battlefield has long been characterized by the use of many different data collection and analysis systems that present information on small and discrete areas of the conflict to separate command and control stations. The operators of these stations attempt to use that data to estimate enemy intentions and actions, and counter with manual direction of the equipment and personnel in ...
