Within the United States Department of Defense, the interest and focus on Network-Centric Systems (NCS) is increasing. The US Navy defines network-centric operations as “military operations that exploit state-of-the-art information and networking technology to integrate widely dispersed human decision makers, situational and targeting sensors, and forces and weapons into a highly adaptive, comprehensive system to achieve unprecedented mission effectiveness.” (Committee, 2000) Therefore, the benefits of building a NCS appear to be obvious and desirable for providing greater information in order to render higher quality decisions and provide greater overall system capability.
