Joint Command and Control

Abstract

The Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) was the DoD’s command and control capability focused on providing the warfighter with the data and information needed to make timely, effective and informed decisions. The Department cancelled the Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) because it was at significant risk of not being able to deliver capabilities to meet validated warfighter requirements and was not able to meet its Initial Operational Capability within schedule. Instead, the Department will focus the Department's Joint Command and Control (C2) research and development efforts on consolidating the systems and technologies of the NECC program into the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems (FoS). The approach will be an incremental, spiral approach to modernizing the GCCS FoS, deploying modular, operationally useful, and tested capabilities while moving towards a net-centric, web-based, standards-based service oriented architecture. The NECC system was envisioned as the DoD's principal command and control capability providing the warfighter with the data and information needed to make timely, effective and informed decisions - designed to provide the DoD with next-generation C2 capabilities using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) on the Global Information Grid (GIG). NECC was initially established to draw from the command and control (C2) community to evolve current and provide new C2 capabilities into a fully integrated, interoperable, collaborative Joint solution.
