Programme
The achievement of NEC is the highest priority for the Advice to Capability Management research output, as well as being a strategic research priority for MOD, requiring a coherent programme of studies together with consistent assumptions on the capability offered by enablers and the potential of NEC.
Network Enabled Capability – An Introduction (MoD, version 1.1, April 2004)
We have now reached a crossroads. We are seeing a shift away from platform oriented programmes towards a capability-based approach, with corresponding implications for the demand required of the traditional defence industrial base.
