Extending the User's Reach. Responsive Networking for Integrated Military Operations

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify a path for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to improve the responsiveness of military information networks for joint warfighters. This is not a technical treatise about bits and bandwidth; it proposes no architecture or standards. Rather, it looks at how military-operational information requirements relate to national strategy and at how those requirements are set and met. In particular, it considers how governance, economic power, and management processes within DOD should be aligned to maximize the prospects of meeting user needs.
