Abstract

The NCW Program Office (NCWPO) is responsible for ensuring that the ADF's capability projects are Network Centric Warfare (NCW) compliant, from the time they are listed in the Defence Capability Plan until they enter service as realised capabilities and throughout life-of-type. The NCWPO has engaged a number of different groups to look at the problem of NCW Compliance from different perspectives. This report describes one of these studies. It proposes an NCW Compliance Process that is based on a simple underlying conceptual model. It also identifies some critical issues to be addressed by the NCWPO in order to improve the rigour and quality of the NCW Compliance Process.
