Modeling and Measuring Network Centric Warfare ( NCW ) With the System Effectiveness Analysis Simulation ( SEAS )

Significant advances in technology, especially in the areas of communications and data processing, over the past few decades have fueled the continual and rapid development of an information-based world. As a result of these technology advances, Network Centric Warfare (NCW) has become the buzzword of the young millennium within the Department of Defense (DoD). NCW is quickly becoming a popularly shared vision and rallying cry for transformation among United States military leaders. The U.S. military is beginning to understand how to effectively go about the business of warfare and conflict resolution within the framework of this brave new information centered age. An essential aspect to implementing this net-centric way of thinking is to formulate and develop pertinent measures that can help to gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of both our military networks and our strategic NCW constructs. This research is focused towards establishing clear and realistic measures that can be captured within a simulated combat environment and serve as metrics for determining the strength or weakness of our military network structures. We utilize the System Effectiveness Analysis Simulation (SEAS), a mission-level combat model, to serve as a tool in exploring the use of these NCW metrics in military worth analysis.
