The “Who”

•  The opportunities range from R&D to operations (e.g., ISAF in Afghanistan), but mostly involve consultancy, development and integration.

•  The Network-Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) has already committed to collaborate by: –  Providing and adapting existing NCOIC tools –  Providing specialized Industry review of NNEC products –  Developing patterns, services and building blocks in support of

NNEC –  Engaging into the NNEC Roadmap

•  Other vehicles for cooperation: NIAG, FFCI, SoW, TBCEs, Industry days, exercises and demonstrations …

The “How and When”

•  The NNEC Roadmap, under development by ACT, is both: –  The temporal vision on how NNEC is going to be achieved, and… –  A decision support tool to facilitate NNEC implementation

•  It allows “operationalizing” the NNEC concept, while linking it to the required capability developments efforts

•  The roadmap is fully consistent with the comprehensive approach, caring also for non-NATO and non-military actors

•  Industry can find very useful information when exposed to the NNEC roadmap

Conclusions

•  This is a perfect moment for Industry to engage in NNEC activities. There are mutual benefits: –  For Industry: strategy awareness; early planning; market opportunities; –  For NATO: expert peer review; consultancy support; product availability

•  The NNEC Roadmap facilitates interoperable capability development, beyond military-only scenarios, and supports NATO, Nations, industry and other stakeholders.

•  Activities and results can and must be used for other users beyond NATO: –  Realizing the objectives of the Comprehensive Approach –  Maximizing potential Return on Investment for Industry
