Net-Centric Operations: Defense and Transportation Synergy

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) is actively working to transform platform-centric operations into net-centric operations. Net-centric railroading could provide DoD's Strategic Rail Corridor Network (STRACNET) with unified operations in which positioning systems, sensors, computers, advanced mathematical models, and digital communications could be used to collect, process, and disseminate information to improve the safety, security, and operational effectiveness of our nation's railroads in support of national defense. As both departments pursue net-centric operations there will be numerous opportunities to share technology and experience.
