The Navy’s Vision

FORCEnet Today …The First Steps

7

• Architectural Framework– Aligns and integrates into a single network

• Warriors• Sensors• Command & Control• Platforms• Weapons

• Globally networked, distributed combat force

• Scalable

• Transforms doctrine, organization, technology, leadership, personnel, facilities, e.g. warfighting capability into globally networked distributed combat force.

What Is FORCEnet?

8

FORCEnet Elements

• “Composeability” -- The ability to select “on the fly” from a vast network, the specific information resources which are best suited to solving a particular problem or providing specific information.

• “On the fly” -- Sources will change with the information needs of the scenario.

• Distributed Networks
