CIO/NII Priorities
Lead the effort that will deliver the critical enabling capability required by the National Defense Strategy to conduct Net-Centric Operations
– Establish a true Information Age CIO– Create a 21st century workforce of Information
Pioneers– Ensure “information” is recognized as a critical
strategic asset– Tell a clear and compelling story of where the IT
Enterprise is headed and why

Bottom Line Up Front
Our current system:
Cannot communicate across stovepipes– Need Cross-Domain Solutions
Cannot meet spiraling information demands– Must be Scalable
Cannot support unanticipated needs and users– Demands Agility and Flexibility
We need a new approach.

Path to Achieving Net-Centricity

11Connecting People With Information
Transforming National Defense -- Net-Centric
National Security Strategy
Transform America’s national security institutions to meet the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century.
National Defense Strategy
We will conduct network-centric operations with compatible information and communications systems, usable data, and flexible operational constructs.
Beyond battlefield applications, a network-centricforce can increase efficiency and effectiveness across defense operations, intelligence functions, and business processes...
Transforming to a network-centric force requires fundamental changes in process, policy, and culture.
National Military Strategy
...creation of a collaborative information environment that facilitates information sharing, effective synergistic planning, and execution of simultaneous, overlapping operations... on demand to defense policymakers, warfighters and support personnel.

Context for Net-Centric Operations
“Uncertainty is the defining characteristic of today’s strategic environment.” (National Defense Strategy)
Challenge – UNCERTAINTY– Leave behind the reasonable predictability of the past– Adjust to an era of surprise and uncertainty
“We have set about making US forces more AGILE and more expeditionary.” (Quadrennial Defense Review)
Response – AGILITY– Enterprise-wide: Battlefield Applications; Defense Operations;
Intelligence Functions; Business Processes – Capabilities Based: Access, Share, Collaborate– Fundamental Changes: Process, Policy, Culture– Emphasis Shift: From moving the user to the data – to moving data to
the user

Defining Net-Centricity
People, processes, and technology working together to enable timely:
– ACCESS to information– SHARING of information– COLLABORATION among those who need
it most
Can Only Be Done on The Net!
14Connecting People With Information
“I can get the information I need”
When I need it Where I need it How I need it
Net-Centric Information Environment
Better Decisions Faster -- Decisive Actions Sooner

“Welded” interfaces
Predetermined needs
Fixed display formats
Need to know
Shared information
Unconstrained
Accommodate uncertainty
User-Defined info and formats
Need to share; right to know

An Information Age Approach to Net-Centricity
Fundamental Shift:Requires ENTERPRISE, not stovepipesRequires ACCESS, not exclusivityRequires TRUST
Trust in the System (availability)Trust in the Information (assurability)Trust in the Participants (identity)
User “gets what he gets” User “takes what he needs” and “contributes what he knows”
Today’s Approach: Segregated Stovepipes
Transformed Approach: Shared Space
Key to Success: Leverage Web & IP-based Technologies

Net-Centric Framework
Data Strategy: – How to “share” the data
Enterprise Services: – How to “access” the data
Information Transport: – How to “move” the data
Information Assurance: – How to keep it “dependable”
Network Operations: – How to “manage” the system
01NOV05/0050
Data: Discoverable, Accessible, Understandable

Critical Technology Enablers
IPv6Supports proliferation of IP-addressed applications/devices, and “comm on the move”DoD Transition Strategy:
– Tech Refresh
VOIPIncreases flexibility/capacity through broadband Internet connection; allows for converged voice and data on the same networkDoD Initiatives:
– Developing standards to end-to-end VOIP capability
Satellite CommunicationsEnables real time connectivity, high data rate, ISR exfiltration, and comm on the moveDoD TSAT Program Restructure:
– IOC 2013; 4 on orbit 2017
Mobile CommunicationsProvides network entry device for individual users at the tactical edge DoD JTRS Program:
– Joint Program Office established– Form-factors being developed
Service-Oriented ArchitectureEstablishes easy-to-use services to access, share and collaborateDoD Strategy:
– Acquire commercially managed service (NCES goal)
Information AssuranceAssures DoD’s information, information systems, and information infrastructureDoD Strategy:
– Fundamental shift from “walls and patches” to “secure from the start”
DoD Initiatives:– Build IA architecture– Expand partnership with industry
for IA R&D
