Some important NCOIC deliverables

(1)  Tools (SCOPE™, NCAT ™): They evaluate systems and tell what to add in order to enhance their NetCentricity-user friendliness, interoperability, and fitness to customer requirements.

(2)  Frameworks NCOIC Interoperability Framework™ (NIF) Other Frameworks (NC Services, Standards Management, System Management, …)

(3)  Patterns: –  A Pattern is an operational, capability or technical description of guidance for product behaviour that will achieve a specified net-centric or interoperability capability –  Patterns are close to NATO profiles and Design Rules

(4) Building Blocks: ●  The NCOIC Building Blocks are equipment or subsystems which are granted by NCOIC as satisfying pattern X ●  Certification program promotes the identification and procurement of network-centric components and services. The "NCOIC Certified" logo on a technology product assures that vendor promises of network-centric capabilities are backed up by specific conformance to industry-defined criteria.

NCOIC/Pattern Categories

  NCOIC Patterns fall into 3 categories –  Operational: Describes standard practices and their

interoperability requirements needed to conduct activities (military operations or business objectives) in a given mission context described inside an Operational Description.

–  Capability: Describes the standard methods and functions needed to support required activities in a mission context from an interoperability perspective as specified in Operational Pattern(s)

–  Technical: Describes the technical standards, technologies, and interoperability techniques needed to support required capabilities in a functional context specified in Capability Pattern(s).

Each Category provides Guidance for different Needs (Mission-oriented, Function-oriented, and Technology-oriented)

Time for cooperation

● Up to now, methods for developing user-friendliness and interoperability of operational systems where not mature enough.

● Hence non acceptable number of non-interoperating systems in theatres

● Now technology exist, methods exist.

● NATO, EDA and NCOIC have complementary actions in this domain. It is our duty now to cooperate together, each of us in our role and mission, and to make things coherently advance

Summary, conclusion, asked actions:

•  Facts: •  NCOIC deliverables are important for defence and security users, and improving:

•  User-friendliness

•  Interoperation of operational systems.

•  NCOIC is well populated and well organised. Mission is clear.

•  The whole is monitored and agreed by all concerned western customers.

•  NCOIC members investing 14M $ each year to build: •  Tools

•  Frameworks & Patterns

•  Building Blocks

•  Needed and asked logic forward: •  NC3A, NC3S, ACT, ACO, EDA should work with NCOIC WGs, monitored by NC3S, ACT, ACO, EDA, building together Profiles and Patterns.

•  First Steps initiated at the NCOIC Plenary in Washington End of September
