Netcentric Systems Test
Abstract
The Netcentric Systems Test (NST) focus area is pursuing test and evaluation (T&E) technologies to keep pace with advancements in Joint Net-Centric Operations (JNO). Advanced netcentric systems will address the needs of Joint forces and coalition partners who need rapid access to relevant, accurate, and timely information, as well as the ability to create and share the knowledge required to make superior decisions in an assured environment amid unprecedented quantities of operational data. The JNO needs these abilities to meet the requirement for an integrated global network that will enable parties to share the right information at the right time so that our warfighters can act before the enemy. JNO links a multitude of people, sensors, operating centers, and decision aids. These sources of information produce relevant, up-to-the second, accurate, and credible information to allow informed decisions in routine, planned, or crisis events. The result is faster decision making, increased collaboration, and better decisions based on access to more information. Successful implementation of these transformational capabilities will necessitate a corresponding transformation in DoD test and evaluation (T&E) capabilities for netcentric systems. The NST focus area addresses the T&E scenarios, technologies, and analysis tools required to ensure that operational networked systems delivered to the warfighter provide an assured capability to acquire, verify, protect, and assimilate information necessary for battlefield dominance within a complex netcentric environment.
