Command and Control in a Network Centric Environment

Abstract

Networking and NCW will change the way we operate in the Armed Forces. Advances in technology will result in the realization of some of the benefits identified, as well as the elimination of some of the risks. The decision on how to employ NCW will depend on how its capabilities evolve. The future commander will be wise not to limit himself to one method of command and control based totally on previous experience but instead evaluate each mission anew against the capabilities he has from network centric warfare and the risks and rewards of employing different methods of command and control
