The solutions to these challenges are forcing the warfighter to assimilate and process vast amounts of information from a broad spectrum of domains. The global information grid (GIG) provides the global connectivity for the information to get to where it's needed, however the information need to be processed and converted to knowledge to empower the warfighter to succeed. Bringing this information together in a comprehensible fashion has driven the military to a new approach to warfare, a network-centric warfare (NCW) approach - also called network-centric operations & warfare (NCOW) by the air force community. This paper discusses recent collaboration technology research that is prototyping an advanced decision support environment (ADSE) that enable the warfighter to effectively use the vast amount of information that is available through the GIG to implement the NCOW approach for achieving successful military operations throughout the 21/sup st/ century.Read More
