Programme of Work 2006 – 2008: 

Programme of Work 2006 – 2008 Focused on 3 Broad Goals: Coherent Effects – Effects Based Approach to Operations (EBAO) Decision Superiority at all levels within NATO Concept areas key to the performance and effectiveness of the NATO Response Force Near term focus on enabling/supporting NRF Continue transformation and expansion of the Concept Development and Experimentation process Provide leadership and encourage collaboration with Nations, Industry and Research and Technology (R&T) organizations

Jaw (SFJW) Tentative Experimentation: 

Jaw (SFJW) Tentative Experimentation Ref: SFJW EXPEC draft 4 para 4 d. Transformation Objectives (not in priority order) Introduce capabilities through doctrine, concept development and experimentation in the following areas: Enhanced CIMIC information sharing capability. Enhanced Joint Conduct of Operation and Joint Situational Awareness capability, including Joint Common Operational Picture, Joint Assessment and Analysis, Commanders Critical Information Requirements (CCIR), and Joint Coordination. NATO Network Enabled Capability, Traffic Monitoring, and Data Analysis. NRF Information Exchange Requirement measurement and analysis using the Traffic Monitoring and Analysis Platform (TMAP) prototype system. Deployable Geospatial Information System (DGIS) prototypes (H/S/COMS) capability to provide troops in the area of action with accurate, up-to-date and customized geospatial information, including reach-back capacity (functionalities and communication infrastructure). Joint C2 / NATO Collaborative Information Environment tool (Working title)

Jaw (SFJW) Tentative Experimentation (cont): 

Jaw (SFJW) Tentative Experimentation (cont) NATO Collaborative Information Environment. To support the activities of a land-based DJTF/CJTF HQ and C2 structure in a theatre of operations to collaboratively develop and exchange information necessary for successful planning, execution, and assessment of operations by providing collaborative information environment capabilities. SOF CCIS. To experiment with Information Exchange Gateways (IEG) to validate Friendly Force Tracker (FFT) in Integrated Command and Control (ICC), and to integrate Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System (BICES). Not confirmed: Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL). Introducing ADL into NRF exercise, focusing on pre-exercise training of EXCON and other target audience, validating ADL through numerical/metric and deeper analysis after interviews / questionnaires (working title).

Slide10: 

Achieving FOC is not dependent on experimentation Experimentation supports the NRF capabilities shortfalls and requirements definition beyond FOC Nature of experimentation looks toward the future, hence some efforts today are not tangible capabilities for several years Steadfast Jaguar will identify shortfalls to help adjust Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) efforts Experimentation is not implementation ACT Experimentation Role in the NRF
