NCW DrawbacksInformation and how it is processed and interpretedin the minds of the combatants is just as important—ifnot more important—than the information itself• NCW - Computer centric instead of Human centric• Heavy reliance on complex technology, particularly
infrastructure - primary centre of gravity foropponents to exploit
• Any disruption to networks could be catastrophic• GPS - Core asset for NCW to work - GPS jammers
can block GPS signals• Cyber attack susceptibility

Interoperability - Major challenge in Network Centric Systems
Interoperability between:• Different types of Hardware & Software used
in various electronic systems• Equipment used by Infantry soldier, Tanks &
other Ground fighting vehicles• Gnd to Air, Air to Air, Air & Sea
communication• Ship to Ship, Ship to shore, Ship to Air

Possible Mitigation• Intensive training at different levels• Built in redundancy against node failures• Fall back option in case of Network
degradation• Prevent information overload at different
operational levels esp. tactical level• Hardening against Cyber attacks, localizing
