Abstract

The world is undergoing an information revolution with the rapid advance of information technologies. Undoubtedly, information operations is becoming more dynamic and essential to daily activities of the United States military services. Within the Department of Defense (DoD) many concepts have evolved which formulate utilizing the virtual information domain to support operations in the traditional physical domains of land, sea, air and space. One such concept, Network Centric Warfare (NCW), defines and describes how the US military should organize and fight in the information age. By incorporating an intelligence analysis grid, the concept of NCW will optimize the utility of available information and produce shared awareness.
