What is Network-Centric Undersea Warfare (NCUW)?

• real-time communications between sensors, decision makers and shooters; where the sensor platforms can be submerged, on ships, aircraft or satellites;

• the real-time ability to obtain the necessary environmental and tactical data, transmit the data to all platforms, visualize and efficiently utilize the data;

• a decentralized (or self-organizing) command/decision structure which assumes that each decision maker can recieve and evaluate all applicable data.

Network-centric warfare is characterized by sensor-to-decision maker-to-shooter information systems that enable superior decision and response within the tactical cycle time, thus achieving the benefits of speed and accuracy of command.

Workshop Goal

The goal of this workshop is to apply network-centric concepts to the undersea warfare problem. We hope to advance our understanding of how undersea warfare should participate in the network-centric battlespace.
