Net-Enabled Capability
(NEC, NCO, NCW, etc.)
Many benefits of Information Sharing via Net-Enabled Capability (desired outcomes of operations)
– Across Warfighter, Logistics, Admin, & Intelligence domains
– Interoperability of systems across Services & countries
– Interoperability with non-military systems
Hard Questions: (in order to achieve desired outcomes of operations)
– Across which systems? And how much is enough?
Typical Constraints!
Cost
Schedule
Performance(especially of Legacy Systems)
Policy & Law
Personnel, etc.

What is the value of
using the SCOPE Model?
SCOPE Helps to Answer the Hard Questions!
– System-of-Systems, Capabilities, Operations, Programs,
and Enterprises (SCOPE) Model
Not a Computer Model
– Structured Analysisusing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
– Not “One Size Fits All”
• Tailored to meet stakeholder needs
Goal: Validated Needs for Net-Centricity
– Not definitive “Shall” statements found in procurements!
– Obtain consensus across multiple stakeholder viewpoints
• With focus on interoperability
• In a specific range of environments
• Within constraints

Where can SCOPE be used?
Typical SCOPE applications
Specific System-to-System
Interactions
Enhancing Legacy Systems
Analysis of Alternatives
Architectural Trade Studies
Federation-of-Systems
(unplanned coalition
participants)
System-of-Systems Environment
Net-Enabled Capability (NEC)can leverage all of these

SCOPE is not just about
Technology!
Technology
Processes People
SCOPE Considers Interaction of People, Processes,
and Technology in a Net-Centric Environment
Example-- differences in:
E-Mail, Chat
User Interfaces
DOTMLPF(I)
TTPs, etc.
Includes Policy,Procedures,
Doctrine, etc.
Includes Culture,Behaviour, etc.
“Interoperability” Is Key…
But A Complex Topic
Data/Object Model Interoperability
Connectivity & Network Interop.
Physical Interoperability
Semantic/Information Interoperability
Knowledge/Awareness of Actions
Aligned Procedures
Aligned Operations

The SCOPE Model measures RANGES ofa domain’s needs and capabilities in manydimensions that relate to interoperability
(Illustrative of a greatly simplified SCOPE analysis; actual SCOPE Modelcovers many dimensionsin more depth)

SCOPEModel Dimensions
Net Readiness Dimension set
– Measures openness and adaptability of component systems,people & processes when working with each other over networks
Capability/Operational Scope Dimension set
– Measures breadth, depth, and diversity of operational capabilities that leverage the networks
• Most are domain dependent, some are common across domains
Technical Feasibility Dimension set
– Measures feasibility of achieving desired operational capabilitiesvia the networks

SCOPE is Tailorable to Common and Unique Needs
In hundreds of Assessment Dimensions

SCOPE Model is Evolving
13
SCOPE Model will continue to Evolve– Changing Needs, Processes, and Technologies
– Changing Behaviour of People using Networks
SCOPE has been successfully applied within
NCOIC member organizations– Provides Stakeholders with a valuable means of determining &
validating net-centric requirements for NEC
– Provides NCOIC with valuable feedback regarding training
of SCOPE practitioners
• And valuable feedback regarding SCOPE Dimensions
A “Win-Win” Interaction regarding SCOPE Model

SCOPE is useful in achieving Net-Centric Goals
SCOPE is focused on Interoperability
and is a full-contact social sport!
