Summary:
This 3 day course will cover a variety of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) related topics. You will learn the concepts, theories and principles of how networking sensors, shooters and decision makers can improve warfighting capabilities. The various elements and enabling technologies for NCW are discussed.
You will learn how sensors, precision weapons, data links and command and control systems are connected together to provide the right information to the right warfighter at the right time.
Additionally, you will learn how to develop models to simulate the performance of a network centric architecture. You will learn about the metrics, MOPs, MOEs, KPPs, KIPS and the network centric checklist that are all used for test and evaluation. You will view examples of various NCW systems for the US Army (Warrior Information Network) and the US Navy (FORCEnet). Finally, case studies will be presented on Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below Blue Force Tracking, Air Combat w & without Link 16, Close Air Support & US/UK Coalition Operations during OIF.
Instructor:
Jerry LeMieux, PhD is a pilot and engineer with over 40 years and 10,000 hours of aviation experience. He has over 30 years of experience in operations, program management, systems engineering, R&D and test and evaluation for AEW, fighter and tactical data link acquisition programs. He led 1,300 personnel and managed 100 network and data link acquisition programs with a five year portfolio valued at more than $22 billion. He served at the numbered Air Force Level, responsible for the development, acquisition and sustainment of over 300 information superiority, combat ops and combat support programs that assure integrated battlespace dominance for the Air Force, DoD, US agencies and Allied forces. In civilian life he has consulted on numerous airspace issues for the US Federal Aviation Administration, Air Force, Army, Navy, NASA and DARPA . He holds a PhD in electrical engineering and is a graduate of Air War College and Defense Acquisition University.
