Canadian Network Enabled Operations Initiatives

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of network enabled operations (NEOps) issues and initiatives within the Department of National Defense/Canadian Forces and how it has or will facilitate transformation. This includes discussion on the results of efforts to decompose NEOps to identify areas of fruitful research and development, and the status of efforts to address such areas. Moreover, this paper seeks to map the impact of NEOps to the department's PRICIE construct (equivalent to the US DOTMLP framework) and discuss concept development and experimentation related to this theory. Moreover, information is provided on departmental efforts in relation to C4ISR developments and their implications for NEOps within the context of the 2002 Exercise Robust Ram and the Pacific Littoral ISR Experiment (PLIX) conducted during the summer of 2003. The paper also describes the planning and expectations for an Atlantic Littoral ISR Experiment (ALIX) during August 2004, which will integrate and exploit multiple sensors in an integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance architecture (IISRA), including the employment of an uninhabited airborne vehicle (UAV), and concludes with discussion on future intentions in this area.
