Net-Centric Operations

The evolution of processing systems distributed across the network makes it possible to change over from hierarchical architecture to network architecture. SELEX Systems Integration provides integrated defence systems based on Network Centric Warfare (NCW) principles, directly connecting asset systems and command and control centres in one single network, in a typically distributed-system configuration.

In the case of military applications, this offers several operating advantages, such as the reduction of time response, thanks to the direct use of data from sensors for actions involving surveillance, reconnaissance, fire, damage or kill assessment. Moreover, the possibility to access and share in real time appropriate multiple sources of information, allows forces in the field to have a constantly updated overview of the situation regarding the position and state of enemy and allied forces. This possibility boosts survival capacity and the achievement of Effect-Based Operations (EBO) outcomes, with the dynamic reconfiguration of forces in the field, in line with the mission's objective.
