Navy Network Dependability: Models, Metrics, and Tools

Abstract

The Navy and the Department of Defense (DoD) are increasingly reliant on networks and associated net-centric operations to conduct military missions. This puts a premium on establishing and maintaining dependable individual ship and multiship (e.g., strike group) networks. An essential step in maintaining the dependability of any networked system is the ability to understand and measure the network's dependability. The Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) tasked the RAND National Defense Research Institute (NDRI) with developing an analytical framework to evaluate C4I network dependability and its contribution to the operational capabilities of individual ships and multiship formations.
