Examining Network Centric Warfare (NCW)Course # D145January 21-22, 2015Columbia, Maryland$1200 (8:30am - 4:30pm)"Register 3 or More & Receive $100 00 eachOff The Course Tuition."SummaryThis two-day course offers an initial exposure tonetwork centricity in US military service systems andprograms from the warfighting edge vice enterprise.Information is power. In the past 30 years, the mostsignificant renaissance in the art of war has transpiredin the implementation of collaborative networks for andbetween military platforms and entities. In many casesNCW replaces mass with understanding. This courseis a mark in time, and seeks to provide the student withsome level of currency and sensitivity to serviceprograms and also a candid perspective from industry.It also suggests where and what future vulnerabilitiesand opportunities exist within the scope of networkcentricity. This course is restricted to US citizens only.InstructorFrank R. Prautzsch has worked in the field ofnetwork centric systems and satellitecommunications for 35 years supportingthe US Army, Industry and the Nation.He received a Bachelor of Science inEngineering from the United StatesMilitary at West Point and an MS inSystems Technology (C3I and Space)from Naval Postgraduate School. He has numerousawards, accolades, professional papers and patentwork. His expertise in communications, wirelessnetworks, cyber, satcom, navigation and renewableenergy remains nationally recognized.What You Will Learn• What are the foundations of network-centricity indoctrine and practice across the Services.• What are the Joint and Service interpretations ofNCW? What is the Joint Information Enterprise(JIE)? the Joint Operational Access Concept(JOAC).• Examine Army LandWarNet/Land ISR net and itscomponents.• Examine Navy NGEN and CANES Programs andits components.• Examine Air Force Aerial Layer Network (ALN).• Examine -Some perspectives on NCW for SOF,First Responder and Industry at large.• Understanding the impact of Space andCyberspace on NCW.• The impact of unmanned systems and intelligentwireless at the network edge.• The Future. What are the next networktransformational Legos® .Course Outline1. Introduction. The Nature and Doctrine thatsupport NCW. Why? More importantly why should wecare.2. Current Governance. National, DoD, Joint andService Doctrine that shape NCW thinking andinvestments.3. Examining the JIE and JOAC. A motivation forchange by necessity, attitude and budgets. Adaptive,Globally Networked Joint Operations.4. The Army. Spelling out the basics ofLandWarNet and its parts to include WIN-T and JTRS.Spelling out the basics of LandISRnet and its parts toinclude Cloud, RITE, and ISCA.5. The Navy. Understanding lessons fromForceNet and NMCI and how NGEN and CANES willshape the Navy and Marine Corps NCW future.6. The Air Force.

Novel conceptsin cloud applications and wireless virtual hypervisors.(a surprise case study).9. Space and Cyber-Space. The criticality ofMILSATCOM and C4ISR to future operations.Command and Control on the Move. Machine-tomachine(M2M) space concepts. Cyber inNCW.worries beyond the virus. The integration ofspace and cyberspace.10. Unmanned Systems. NCW and C4ISRenablers and liabilities. Successes and warnings.11. The Future. Changes in the C4ISR Construct.Emerging technologies to embrace. The need forvelocity.Joint Operational Access Concept (JOAC) describeshow future joint forces will achieve operational accessin the face of such strategies. Its central thesis isCross-Domain Synergy-the complementary vicemerely additive employment of capabilities in differentdomains such that each enhances the effectivenessand compensates for the vulnerabilities of the others-toestablish superiority in some combination of domainsthat will provide the freedom of action required by themission. The JOAC envisions a greater degree ofintegration across domains and at lower echelons thanever before.Reference documenthttp://www.defense.gov/pubs/pdfs/JOAC_Jan%202012_Signed.pdfRegister online at www.ATIcourses.com or call ATI at 888.501.2100 or 410.956.8805 Vol. 119 – 17
