Demystifying NEC

• Transitioning from platform centric architectures
  to dynamic knowledge based architectures and
  services
• Putting the glue across
• ISR TA CCII AWE, UWE, ALM, GM, TA, DTA .
• Digital integration of the engagement chain
  components (from sensing though information
  analysis, decision making, to target intercept)
  necessary to achieve precision attack (spatial,
  temporal, proportional, RoE coherence) in an
  environment of increasing distribution and
  sharing of components linked via the
  communication bearers
