Over the past two years the lab has conducted a series of experiments focused on the Army's conceptual Future Force network. These experiments were designed to integrate a myriad of network-related study issues into a technical analysis of future network concepts. The results of these experiments provide the analytical underpinnings supporting the viability of transitioning the conceptual design of the Army's Future Force into an actual warfighting entity. The Army's Future Force is designed to be a faster, lighter, but more lethal force than today's force. The Future Force will use information superiority as its premier combat enabler. Information superiority coupled with an ultra-reliable networked Battle Command and Control (C2) system will ensure that separate units fight as one. This connectivity and orchestration are performed within a network-centric environment. The Army's view of Network Centric Warfare can be described as the orchestration of integrated successes of its core operational concepts (dominant maneuver, precision engagement, focused/just-in-time logistics, space-to-mud telecommunications, and full dimensional protection), which are all dependent upon information superiority.Read More
