Netcentric warfare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Netcentric warfare is often used interchangeably with the term network centric warfare. Netcentric warfare is about the military value generated by sharing information in a distributed network of people, processes, and technology per the network effect. While network centric warfare also considers people, processes, and technology it is primarily concerned with the build out of the network infrastructure and technology. One way to think about this is by looking at infrastructure and operations: "Network centric infrastructure is required to carry out netcentric operations."
