Webinar Explores the Past, Present and Future of Network Centric Warfare
Noted author Fred Stein will discuss the technologies shaping the future of military operations.
Sunnyvale, Calif. (Issues Wire / PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- Nearly a decade after his book "Network Centric Warfare: Developing and Leveraging Information Superiority" cast a new light on the future of battlefield command, author Fred Stein will appear in an Objectivity sponsored webinar to discuss how technology has influenced military operations and what lies in store for the next-generation war fighter.
Stein's book, co-authored by David Alberts and John Garstka, was one of the first to address the emergence of Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and forecast its future prevalence on the battlefield. Stein has since become one of the foremost experts on the digitization of military forces and the challenges that arise when integrating new technology, especially when that technology has to span across generations of users.
"Participants in this webinar should walk away with a better understanding of the challenges that exist between generations," Stein said. "One of the big challenges in NCW today lies in the way that different generations use information and how those differences affect the purchase of resources."
Stein will be joined by Brian Clark, Objectivity's vice president of Technical Services, for a discussion on solutions to common data management challenges, including how to:
- Deliver the right information to the right person at the right time
- Create interoperability of information between coalition forces
- Protect information with multi-level security settings and data lineage
Stein currently serves as MITRE's Senior Principal Engineer for NCW, supporting the Army G8, Office of Force Transformation and Electronic Systems Command. He is also a member of the Swedish National Advisory Board on Network Based Defense and an assistant professor of information warfare/network-centric warfare at the Army War College.
Clark has more than 35 years of software industry experience, and he currently manages systems engineering and professional services functions for Objectivity's customer base.
The webinar will take place Thursday, December 6 at 9 a.m. Pacific. Participants can register at www.objectivity.com/NCWwebinar.
