Abstract. The concept of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) is premised on
three hypotheses:
information sharing promotes shared awareness across the networked force,
shared awareness improves collaboration and synchronization, and
improved synchronization yields
greater mission effectiveness, due to a greater speed of command,
resource sharing, and increased lethality, survivability and responsiveness.
This paper
continues discussion of these hypotheses, focusing on awareness sharing and
its precursor information sharing. By bringing to the fore combinatorial
complexity inherent in command decision-making, the paper suggests that: information
sharing, as conceptualized in network centric warfare, might depend on
radical advances in communication technology; and awareness sharing might require
equally radical advances in decision modeling and decision aiding. This
paper outlines a model of commander decision making focused on
representing and improving battlefield comprehension. The outline is followed by
suggestions of how the model can be used to drive
content delivery and ease technological demands in realizing network centric
warfare.
