A Concept For Enabling Information Superiority & Support (2004) By Australian Dept Of Defence
The Australian Defence Force has recently released "an important benchmark in [their] approach to harnessing the power and opportunity presented by the information age" (DoD, 2004, p i) and is seeking “active participation in the implementation and further refinement of the concept” " (DoD, 2004, p i). Entitled "A Concept for Enabling Information Superiority & Support" (herein referred to as the IS&S Concept Paper), the document sets out to describe in detail how the Australian Defence Force will achieve the information related objectives of Network Centric Warfare (DoD, 2004) that will in-turn facilitate the conduct of Multi-Dimensional Manoeuvre - The Australian Defence Force's Future Warfighting Concept.
This paper is the first of a two-part treatise, that examines the IS&S Concept Paper in relation to the Australian and United States approaches to Network Centric Warfare. This piece examines Section One and Two and argues that there is a number of fundamental problems contained in the Australian approach that, if not rectified, may obstruct efforts to attain a truly network centric force.
