NATO NEC and the Decision Loop

This will lead to better situational awareness across the board, facilitating improved decision-making, and bringing to bear the right military capabilities at the right time to achieve the desired military effect.

NATO NEC will enable us to operate more effectively in the future strategic environment through the more efficient sharing and exploitation of information within the Alliance and with our coalition partners

There has not been a holistic approach that provides a means by which programmes can improve this this situation

Best Efforts of Cooperation

• many completely different systems• the systems are defined and developed with limited co-operation• the systems co-operation is defined for each system• two systems co-operate only if they are built for it

Increasing Complexity

Life has become too complicated for ad-hoc acquisitionProjects and programmes now link and overlap – pan-defenceMultiple operational, technical and service boundaries emerging,which must be managed coherentlyOverlapping functionality in subsystems,

NATO Network Enabled Capability is a key element to meet this changing need

“NNEC is the linking of sensors, decision makers and weapon systems so that information can be translated into synchronised and overwhelming military effect at optimum tempo”

Enables us to federate systems, sensors, effectors and hence improve military effectivenessWe need a more structured approach to manage the

complexity whilst balancing all appropriate user perspectives

NATO has no forces of its own – military force is provided by the member nations

Need to understand what capabilities each nation can bring to a given operationNeed to coordinate those capabilities to achieve optimal military effect

Services will play a key roleEach nation’s capabilities will be modelled as servicesCapability will be achieved by orchestration of those services

i.e. services will be available to operations planners, and usedas and when required

Need for architectureTo specify the services themselvesTo specify how services can be combined and chained to achieve capability / deliver an effect for a given operation or scenario

Services & ArchitectureServices & Architecture

To make best use of the available services, planning is requiredThe planners need a clear and concise way to:

Understand what services are available and what level of service is providedUnderstand what the services do and how they interactUnderstand what interfaces (information) the services provideDefine how the services are put together to achieve the intent

Enterprise Architecture is seen as key to this, hence the NATO Architecture Framework defines a set of views for architecting services
