In the same year, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States issued Joint Vision 20 10 (or Joint Vision 20 10), which introduced the full-spectrum advantage (or all-round advantage) of the military concept and described the military capability of the United States-whether it is peace or armed, information advantage can dominate the battlefield.
1998, the concept of network-centric warfare was officially published in an article co-authored by Lieutenant General Arthur vice admiral and John Gacka in Journal of the United States Naval Research Institute. Later, Jaczka, David S. alberts (Director of Research Department of OASD-NII Company) and Assistant Secretary of Defense (Network and Information Integration) of Fred Stein Mitre Corporation wrote a book "Network Centric Warfare" to discuss these concepts in depth. This book was published by the Command and Control Research Program (CCRP) of the Department of Defense in Washington, DC. It draws lessons from commercial organizations and uses information and communication technology to improve situation analysis, accurately manage the relationship between inventory and production and customers, and develops a new operational theory.
Then in 200 1, alberts, Gatsby, Richard Hayes of evidence-based research and David S. Signori of RAND co-wrote a book "Understanding Information Age Operation (UIAW)". UIAW starts with the reform proposed by NCW and tries to infer its consequences in order to find a feasible war theory. Starting with a series of environment-induced default values, UIAW conceived a structure with three regions. "Physical field" is the place where things happen and are perceived; Data from there will be transmitted to the information field. The data there are processed before entering the "cognitive field" for evaluation and decision-making. This process copied the "observation, orientation, decision-making and action" put forward by Colonel John Boyd of the US Air Force.
In 2003, CCRP published Power to the Edge, and continued to develop the theory of network-centric warfare. As far as its significance in military operations is concerned, decentralization is the boldest and most revolutionary of all works. It is mentioned that the modern military environment is so complicated that no one, any single organization or even a single service can fully understand it. Modern information sharing technology is fast enough that "peripheral units" (that is, floating people) don't have to concentrate professionals to estimate what they want.
Network center action is the cornerstone of the transformation of the Ministry of National Defense promoted by former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld; It is also one of the five goals of the Military Transformation Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
