National Command Capability (NCC): Design for a Collaboration Architecture

Abstract

National crises demand that leadership deliver an effective response that requires: timely alerts and warning, accurate information on emerging situations, the ability to consult with distributed partners, the ability to collaborate with authorities in various jurisdiction, and the ability to show leadership and support to the people. The National Command Capability (NCC) solution is to create a virtual "collaboration environment" of software and hardware capable of delivering services and applications to anyone with a web browser. The NCC also provides a "trusted information environment" that allows the leadership to perform all critical functions. This briefing describes an approach to bring urgent progress in these areas within a single unified framework for command capability. This NCC architecture framework can lead progress in SOA architecture as a distributed network standard. By taking advantage of current models of technology and technology partnerships in the private sector, this NCC design can inspire rapid deployment, early adoption and innovative growth in support of cross agency information sharing.
