Network Centric Warfare: Next Steps Toward Achieving the Vision Evening Event

Register now to attend the Network-Centric Warfare: Next Steps Toward Achieving the Vision evening event, co-located with AFCEA WEST and hosted by Defense Systems, FCW and Technical Partner Booz Allen Hamilton. You'll hear from DOD leaders and experts as they discuss the current vision of network-centric warfare and how the department and Navy/Marine Corps are looking to achieve it.

In 1998, Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski and John J. Garstka wrote a watershed article articulating a vision for network-centric warfare. Network-centric warfare, they wrote, was “a revolution in military affairs unlike any seen since the Napoleonic Age.” It would enable what they called speed of command—tactical decision-making based on real-time access to information about the battlespace.

How close are we to achieving that vision? Without a doubt, the battlespace—sea, air, land, and cyberspace—is networked like never before, and information superiority is understood as essential to military success. Nonetheless, progress toward the full realization of network-centric warfare has been hampered by technical and cultural challenges that have kept information locked in stovepipes.

Enjoy a cocktail reception after these informative sessions where you can continue the conversation as you network with your peers. Register Now!
