Measuring the Effects of Network-Centric Warfare. Volume 1

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present a series of quantifiable metrics that can be employed to measure Network-Centric Warfare. These metrics are intended for use in Navy and Joint Experimentation to capture the data which will refine the emerging concepts of operation that will define future Navy and Joint doctrine. The metrics within this paper have been placed in an operational example to put them in context, but the scenario and its results are for illustrative purposes only. Based on the development of these metrics, it appears to the authors that there are two phases in the implementation of Network-Centric Warfare. The first phase will see the Navy, and potentially the other services, build a comprehensive linked network to optimize their legacy force structure. The second phase will see a new force structure emerge that will optimize this new concepts of warfare.
