Transformation Cornerstone- A Shared ontology Erik Chaum, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport RI A broad, consensus-based, open, information- sharing paradigm is essential to DoD transformation The Net-Centric Warfare (NCW) concept summarizes the desired information age transformation of the United States Department of Defense(DoD). It challenges Dod to rethinking how it organizes operationally, implements technically, and executes tactically. What are some of the key enablers required to achieve the nCW vision/goal? What impact will they have on next generation modeling and simulation frameworks? To answer these questions we must begin by considering some of the NCW explicit and implicit requirements Consider the Objective The ncw vision called out in Jv2020 and other service derivative documents defines a future where ubiquitous communications supports the rapid, effective, and automated sharing and processing of operational and tactical information.

Operational Context Warfighters are integral to our warfare systems and processes. To be an effective decision-maker a well-trained watchstander must understanding more than the current tactical track picture. Decision makers need an operational context to guide decisionmaking. Operational context, see examples in table 1, provides situational knowledge and is essential for reasoning about the operational and tactical situation. It is also true that little operational context is understood by our current generation of command and control and tactical systems or modeling and simulation systems
