The Defense Dept. is in the middle of a transformation to what is often termed network-centric warfare. In simplest terms, network-centric warfare is when military organizations and systems are seamlessly networked to change the terms of any conflict to favor U.S. and coalition forces. It will allow the U.S. and our allies to go beyond a simple correlation of local forces by providing them better information as well as letting them plan and coordinate attacks far more quickly and effectively than our adversaries. However, at the heart of this concept are survivable, assured, spectrum-agile communications at both the strategic and tactical levels. The goal of this work is a high-capacity network that degrades softly under attack, while always providing a critical level of service.
