Vertical-Sensing Effectiveness and CONOPS Tool for Operational Requirements (VECTOR) (PREPRINT)

Abstract

Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) is the emerging concept of operations for the U.S. Armed Forces. It will allow for a decisive warfighting advantage through the increased speed of command and also the high quality shared awareness. At the core of network-centric warfare is the idea that moving away from platform-centric operations and towards network-centric operations will enable collaboration among the disparate platforms of all branches of the military that have not occurred in the past. This collaboration not only leads to a quicker and more accurately executed kill chain but also to gain decisive information superiority over an enemy before a war even begins.
