Press Release Summary = San Francisco, CA and London, UK/ 27 April 2005/ visiongain.
According to the latest visiongain report "WarNet: Network Centric Warfare and
Battlefield Communications", Network Centric Warfare is the doctrine the United
States Government has adopted to support the digitisation of its military forces.
NCW involves creating a communications infrastructure a ‘military Internet’ through
which soldiers and commanders can speak, send data and messages to each other as
well as access information from other units. The vision is that this will speed up
their forces and enable them to attack terrorists with the same lethality and
rapidity that the terrorists do.
Press Release Body = The kind of technological advancement requirement to make this
happen is immense, massive investment in satellite and digital communications is
required. Research and development is currently taking place into how they can
provide commanders, aircraft, naval vessels and soldiers with the best equipment to
link them to this network. “There could be significant problems with speed,
bandwidth, security and network organisation. Defence companies and I.T companies
have to work closely together to make this happen but those that are successful will
receive massive revenue increases”, comments Tim Fish, visiongain’s Defense analyst.
Visiongain believes that other countries in the world are adopting similar measures
to the United States and there are just as many potential contracts in Europe and
the rest of the world as there are in the US. Whilst investment has an element of
risk to it most Governments involved are committed to the networking of their
forces. One specific area where there is future potential is in the transfer of
technology used in soldier digital handsets to the civilian and business mobile
sectors.
Producing the WarNet and putting the communications structure in place involves a
mixture of computer hardware and software, expanding bandwidths and digital
computers. It is related to Internet operators, telecomm service providers and
communications technology.
“Defence companies currently involved or interested in expanding into digital
communications Mobile manufacturing companies developing new communications handset
and other products I.T software and hardware producers involved with the defence
industry Government defence ministries that want to know about networking prospects
and companies involved” adds Fish.
Whilst many Governments are committed to digitising and networking their armed
forces only the United States has the capacity to fully transform its military and
this is largely based on their new military doctrine. The new WarNet will be at the
centre of their future operations and will form the core of their future
capabilities. Only the main larger European countries are able to provide enough
funding to come close to networking their armed services and even then this will
take a different form because their doctrine is different to the US.
The large defence companies all have a role in developing this technology but they
need substantial support from computer, telecommunications and I.T companies to make
this happen. This is where the majority of the most lucrative contracts can be
secured as part of a team run by one of the Prime Contractors on various projects.
Visiongain reports that various Ministries of Defence for the larger Western
countries and their sub-agencies managing procurement provide the majority of
funding. They will choose which company will be the Prime Contractor along with
their team to take on development projects. They include the US Department of
Defense and the Defense Information Systems Agency, the UK Ministry of Defence and
the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the French MoD and its Delegation
General pour l’armament (DGA), the Australian Department of Defence and its Defence
Materiel Organisation.
