Slide9: 

Objective Force Contributions to Joint C4ISR Integrated seamless Joint C4ISR + Battle Command with linkages to current & Stryker forces, interagency, and multi-national units through a knowledge-based C4ISR architecture Characterized by… Joint Operational Architecture Joint Common Relevant Operating Picture (CROP) – SU/SA Information assurance Plug-and-play communications Embedded C4ISR On demand access to intelligence Collaboration and Decision support tools Provides… Ability to effectively develop the situation out of contact Near perfect detailed knowledge of the battlespace Networked fires - real time synchronization of fires and maneuver

Objective Force Organizations Emerging Concepts: 

Objective Force Organizations Emerging Concepts Unit of Action (UA) Unit of Employment (UE) Pooled UAs Joint Headquarters Capable Standing Base HQs Designed and trained for Joint, interagency and multi-national interoperability Inherently modular – rapid force tailoring and teaming as required based on mission needs Organizations designed and equipped to fulfill command and control (C2) functions of Joint, interagency, and multi-national organizations Army Forces Command, Joint Forces Land Component Command, and Joint Task Force Joint Interagency Coordination Group (JIACG) Improved level of competency in leaders and Soldiers which empowers leadership to make decisions at lowest levels Human resource functions support Joint, interagency and multi-national operations for Soldiers, civilians, families and contractors Increased liaison assignments to interagency and multi-national organizations Seamless Army active and reserve component force structure

Required FCS Joint Interoperability Critical Capabilities Supports all Information Exchange Requirements An open system Battle Command architecture that enables growth through technology insertion Interfaces with Legacy, Stryker and Objective Force systems at UE, (HSOC), Joint, National, and Combined Interoperable C4ISR network linked to Joint sensors, fires and effects Facilitates the rapid exchange of data essential for targeting and attack to include coordination and control requirements Minimal required translation of data exchange Near Real Time (NRT) Automatic Target Cueing capability (ATC) - interactive target cueing capability to Joint, Allied, and Coalition systems, sensors, and/or platforms regarding potential targets Collaborate and share data/information horizontally among operators and vertically between operators at any echelon to include Joint and National agencies; this includes multi-person/ station conferencing

Slide13: 

Sensors, Shooters, and Command, Control & Communications – Linked by “The Network” to Increase Overall Effects Net-Centric Warfare in the Objective Force Increases warfighting capabilities of ground maneuver forces Supports Full Spectrum Dominance Moves from platform-centric to network-centric warfare Implements concepts that enable increased combat power (“virtual massing“ of forces) Achieves shared awareness, increased survivability and better synchronization Improves networking capabilities Increases information sharing Improves collaboration and synchronization Increases Situational Awareness and Situational Understanding

Slide14: 

Access by Ground Maneuver Forces - Communications On-the-Move Ubiquitous Connectivity With commander’s warfighting equipment Anywhere..garrison, en route, sanctuary, on the objective Access to GIG and commercial assets Flexibility Bandwidth on demand Priority for warfighters and their supporting units Security - Multi-level security to allow simultaneous use by unclassified support systems and classified warfighting systems What We Need From “The Network”

…”the Army Goes Rolling Along” There is something about a Soldier!

Slide17: 

Rapid synchronization of a devastating attack on an opponent is just one of the exponential effects produced by net-centric warfare Net-Centric Warfare in the Objective Force FACING PAGE Net-centric warfare will increase a force’s warfighting capabilities by allowing constant coordination and battlefield visualization of both the enemy and friendly situation. This in turn… - allows units to be flexible and adaptable -- to size and organize to respond to different missions and threats; - allows units to remain dispersed at different locations and ranges while using The Network to coordinate attacks on an unsuspecting opponent. Net-centric warfare allow a force to to dominate an opponent through smart use of The Network to provide commanders and their staffs with unprecedented information sharing and collaboration abilities resulting in not only Situational Awareness but, more importantly, Situational Understanding

Slide18: 

We need you to ensure that our Global Information Grid (GIG) is engineered and resourced to reach all the way to the point of the spear -- to the Ground Maneuver Forces -- who will be constantly moving. The Network needs to provide what the users thinks is “seamless” comms; allowing them to use their comms devices to plug into the network from wherever they are -- without having to carry multiple blackboxes or adapters. Warfighting commanders facing the enemy must have priority to speak with and direct their forces and coordinate with those who support them -- automatically getting needed bandwidth. And of course The Network needs to allow the commander to reach out to and receive information from any source, regardless of the security classification -- without the need for multiple networks or connections What We Need From “The Network” FACING PAGE
