Network-Centric Warfare and Information Technology: The Stock Market as a Historical Model

Abstract

NETWORK-CENTRIC WARFARE is a concept based on leveraging information technology to increase combat efficiency, where information technology will enable increased speed and access to information over a complex system architecture. The military commander will interact within this construct to extract the needed information to make and execute operational decisions. The essential benefits of information technology -- speed and access of information -- will enable a network-centric organization to derive combat efficiencies superior to the centralized information control of "platform centric" organizations.
