SAID ABOUT

RUSI CONFERENCES

From the Director of RUSI

Ladies and Gentlemen

On behalf of RUSI, I have great pleasure in inviting you to join us for our Malvern

C4ISTAR Conference.

This event is one of the highlights of RUSI’s conference programme, and will push

the debate forward on key C4ISTAR issues. We expect more than 250 participants,

drawn from governments, the military and defence industries of many nations. I

am delighted to welcome once again the support of the UK Ministry of Defence.

Information exploitation is critical to delivering military effect. Sensors (to gather

information), an effective network (to consolidate, communicate and exploit that

information) and strike assets (to deliver the decisive effect) are the central elements

in the network for the delivery of accurate and timely information, benefitting both

the decision maker and the warfighter.The conference will bring you up-to-date

briefings from key stakeholders on the critical issues for C4ISTAR, from high level

principles, to the requirements of and reality for the user, and to transformation in

organizations, processes, structures and cultures. Participants should gain a clear

understanding of the direction and co-ordination of national plans in information

exploitation and C4ISTAR in networked warfare.

I hope you will join us. This brochure contains everything you need, including full

registration details. Please feel free to pass this information to any other person

whom you feel may like to attend. I look forward to welcoming you and your

colleagues to the conference.

Conference Concept

TThhee 22000044 RRUUSSII MMaallvveerrnn CC44IISSTTAARR will deliver

up-to-date briefings on the critical issues relating

to the use of C4ISTAR concepts and capabilities in

delivering information exploitation for military

effect. This conference has developed over the years

and, in 2003, was attended by over 250 senior

participants, drawn from the militaries, governments

and defence industries of over a dozen countries.

This year, the aim is for participants to walk away

with a clear understanding of the direction and

co-ordination of key national plans in information

exploitation and C4ISTAR in networked warfare.

Information is, as it always has been, a strategic

enabler and force multiplier in warfare. In the modern

era, the requirement for accurate information

increases as quality supersedes quantity in force

application and effect.Achieving a significant

information advantage over potential adversaries

will better prepare forces to face threats and to

develop appropriate responses.As military forces

seek to link the power of warriors, sensors, weapons,

and platforms into a networked combat force able

to deliver a precise and more integrated kill chain,

the network of information exploitation capabilities

needs to be built around three main equipment

pillars: sensors (to gather information); a network

(to fuse, communicate and exploit the information);

and strike assets (to deliver military effect).

As the requirement for and amount of information

increases, the accurate collection, collation, analysis,

dissemination and exploitation of that information in

near real-time is more critical so as to allow rapid

decision making, and to enable the rapid delivery of

decisive and appropriate military force to deliver the

right effect at the right place and at the right time.As

armed forces look to develop strategically responsive

forces for projecting expeditionary power in global

operations, the effect of the resultant change in

concept, doctrine and equipment capability

requirements for information exploitation has been

dramatic.The ability to exploit information has, in

recent combat operations, generated high levels of

knowledge superiority, situational awareness, tactical

agility and military effect.The emphasis now is on

translating knowledge into effect.

C4ISTAR in Information Exploitation

C4ISTAR is the enabling activity that provides

knowledge at all levels of operations. Effective

C4ISTAR gathers, analyses and distributes

information at a tempo that will outpace and

dominate potential adversaries. Network-enabled

C4ISTAR must provide enhanced decision-making

capability and information management to achieve

integration across the capability chains, to exploit

information, to develop information management.

It must also enable the improved application

and co-ordination of force so as to enhance the

conduct of joint force operations across the

spectrum and tempo of operations with the rapid

and timely delivery of the required operational

tempo and military effect.

Transformation and Information Exploitation:

NEC and NCW

Transforming to network-enabled capability

principles and acquisition frameworks is critical in

developing a more effective ability to exploit

information. It is vital in supporting the defence

capability framework of how to prepare, command,

inform, project, operate, protect, and sustain force.

Taking advantage of C4ISTAR technologies to be able

to continue to develop capabilities to meet changing

requirements is a critical element in this process.

Force transformation to a network-enabled

capability framework creates a structure within

which armed forces can adapt in form, culture,

UK Minister for Defence Procurement‘An overarching priority for the MoD is to integrate its capabilities to allow for rapid and precise military

effects – a concept underpinned by Network-Enabled Capability’Lord Bach of Lutterworth (Minister for Defence Procurement, UK). Ministry of Defence Press Notice 170/03, 24 July 2003

UK Defence White Paper‘In order to deliver a wide range of effects, [the UK needs] to be able to deploy and configure forces

rapidly and have the capability for rapid decision making, accompanied by the precise delivery of force.These characteristics need to be underpinned by an improved ability to exploit information that can then

be translated into synchronised responses to achieve decisive military effect’‘Delivering Security in a Changing World: Defence White Paper’

‘What are the critical elements in delivering military effect? The answer is threefold: sensors – to gather information; an effective network – to consolidate, communicate and exploit that information;

and strike assets – to deliver the decisive action’Oral Statement on the Defence White Paper, ‘Delivering Security in a Changing World: Defence White Paper’

Presented to Parliament by The Secretary of State for Defence By Command of Her Majesty, December 2003

Ministry of Defence, UK: mission statement for information exploitation capability – ‘to deliver UK equipment capability for the acquisition and delivery of accurate and timely information for the decision maker and warfighter. …. [Information superiority is] the ability to collect, process and

disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary’s ability to dothe same. [It requires the] right appreciation of information by decision makers, supporting effective

dialogue and mutual comprehension, and enabling commanders at all levels to reach better decisions’.Air Vice Marshal Steve Dalton RAF (Capability Manager Information Superiority, UK Ministry of Defence)

Office of Force Transformation, United States Department of Defense

‘[In Iraq] we enjoyed new levels of integration … levels of jointness which we had never seen before.

And that tells a particular story about transformation. … You have a choice. You can either create your own

future or you can be the victim of a future that someone else creates for you. By seizing the transformation

opportunities you are seizing the opportunity to create your own future’

Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski USN (Ret’d) (Director Force Transformation)

doctrine and function to support the development

of a greater capacity for information exploitation.

Network-Enabled Capability (NEC) and Network-

Centric Warfare (NCW) are two principal terms

used to describe concepts and capabilities which

support the use and exploitation of information.

NEC is the UK’s underpinning philosophy developed

by the UK - and now adopted by NATO – for the

procurement of a network equipment capabilities

which link decision-makers, sensors and weapon

systems so that information can be translated into

synchronized military effect at optimum tempo,

delivering improved combat effectiveness through

precise, controlled and decisive effect with

unparalleled speed and accuracy. NEC’s goal is to

improve operational effectiveness through the way

information is shared and used, and to provide a

coherent conceptual and technological framework

for improving organization, equipment acquisition

and, ultimately, combat effectiveness. It guides

coherent capability integration of sensors, weapons

and decision-making to improve operational

effectiveness by permitting the more efficient sharing

and exploitation of information to deliver controlled,

precise and predictable military effect.A concept

rather than a system, NEC is the glue for C4ISTAR

and helps to do it faster, and enables C4ISTAR and

military capabilities across the spectrum of military

operations from conflict management to high

intensity warfighting.

C4ISTAR concepts, capabilities and technologies are

the vital enabler for NEC and NCW.The conference

will analyze the vision and the reality for C4ISTAR in

NEC and NCW, and whether there is a disconnect

between the two. It will ask what do you buy, how

do you buy it, how much does it cost, what are its

benefits, what are the cultural and commercial

practices, challenges and changes, what is the rate

of take-up of ideas, technologies and capabilities in

practice and what is the roadmap – and whether and

how industry can follow it - for delivering a C4ISTAR

framework to underpin equipment procurement and

combat operations? Of

critical importance here

will be the position of

government as the owner

of capability requirements,

procurement processes and

financial structures and as

the prime capability

integrator.Armed forces

need to understand what

technologies industry can

provide, but industry needs

to understand the armed

forces’ long-term aim and

direction for the equipment

plan and the risk therein,

and how shareholders will

be able to benefit from

whatever direction the armed forces take. From the

UK perspective, industry needs to understand how

MoD wishes to align with US equipment capabilities

and operations, and the practicalities of this from a

US perspective.

All those advocating NEC or NCW are seeking to

achieve the same effect in the transformation of

military capability and in the exploitation of

information in delivering military effect. The

conference will offer comparisons of NEC and

NCW, and will assess how both concepts enable

capabilities to better deliver better effect. This

debate will focus both on in-service and future

equipment, and how networked C4ISTAR capabilities

enhance and optimize the timeliness and

responsiveness of the sensor/decision maker/

shooter/battle damage assessment loop. Now the

network is here, the conference will ask what

changes, what opportunities are provided and

what obstacles exist. To develop an effective overall

framework to exploit information for military effect,

the customer and supplier must work together in an

open partnership to identify and focus investment

on low risk, exploitable technology solutions and

to improve the capability management structures

and processes to meet equipment capability

performance parameters on time and to cost.

Strategic Vision and Principles in C4ISTAR and

Information Exploitation

The 2004 RUSI Malvern C4ISTAR bring together the

key stakeholders, both in the speaking programme

and in the audience, to identify and confront the

realities in exploiting information for military effect.

The conference will examine the transformation

approaches and goals for US, UK and European

armed forces, with an assessment of their impact

on capabilities for information exploitation. Based

around key lines of development of concept and

doctrine, organization, structures and processes,

equipment, personnel and training, and force

sustainment, the conference bringing together clear

policy statements on the conceptual, operational,

technological, industrial, political and financial

principles, vision and realities.The key challenges

relate as much, if not more, to organization,

processes, procedures and structures, management,

and cultures as they do to capability requirements,

technology and affordability. Iraq, if nothing else,

showed that the technology in the network works.

The conference will ask:

•• what are we trying to do, and – in particular –

what the customer wants and needs?

•• what information do we need, who needs which

parts of it?

•• how do we get the right information and use it

effectively?

•• what is the status of key programmes?

•• what changes in structure, organization and

procedures are required to enable transformation

in information exploitation in the networked

battlespace?

•• how do we apply and exploit new technologies to

meet emerging C4ISTAR requirements?

•• how will government and industry work together

to deliver this capability?

•• and are the different national plans and

approaches co-ordinated and converging?

•• are we developing similar definitions and

understanding of what information is and what it

means?

•• is enough being done on integrating programmes,

sharing risk and partnering (amongst industry and

between industry and MoD)

In so doing, the conference will link the high level

principles and vision to the requirements and reality

of the user on the front line, and will advance the

debate on the way forward in developing a balanced

evolution in a fully integrated, responsive and

enduring capability for the exploitation of

information for delivering military effect.

Outcomes:The soldier, sailor or airman in theatre is the primarycustomer. This session will look at what the customerwants, needs and gets. Combat operations inAfghanistan saw the early maturation of networkedC4ISTAR, with mission planning often down from the48 hours in Kosovo to 20 minutes or so. Iraq has beenwidely regarded as the first networked war, showing inparticular the way in which network-centred conceptshad changed the way the US armed forces fight. Thenetwork – and the C4ISTAR element in particular - isfar from mature and is always under review, but itexists, it works and more nations are choosing toexploit it.

Recent operations also underlined the ability ofcoalition forces to deliver decisive effect throughspeed in planning, speed in decision-making, speed of manoeuvre to create more dynamic and moreadaptive forces which build on the collectivecapabilities of all force elements – all of which aidedby the networked ability to exploit information.However, recent operations have underscored the

importance of a coherent, interoperable C4ISTARcapability to exploit information and deliverinformation dominance. Recent operations also havehighlighted what the user community (ie., thewarfighter) wants, and in particular the need to keepthe warfighter at the front of the technology curve inthe balance between people and technology.

Crucial lessons have been identified from recentoperations, and Iraq in particular. First, there is a needfor intelligent and practical information disseminationconcepts, technologies and practices. This generatesthe need for a coalition-wide communicationsinfrastructure to provide interoperable, secure, reliableand timely information access and management to allstakeholders through a common network, allowingstakeholders to plug in at the appropriate level – but,most importantly, with the necessary nationalauthorizations for the sharing of information. Thislatter issue is critical to seamless integration.

Second, there were significant capability gaps, both innational inventories and between partners, as well asin technology standards. Many nations withinadequate kit now choose not to buy it, knowingthat the US will provide it in theatre to all those theUS needs to work with. In particular, UK forces onlyhad limited degree of interoperability with US, andsome experts argue that the argument that the UKinfrastructure could not support UK C4ISTARrequirements.

Outcomes:Testing and Evaluation can help to turn technology intopractical capability more quickly.This session will look atone key tool in the UK capability management process –the UK Ministry of Defence and industrial alliance that isNITEworks – and assess its overall implications foreffective equipment capability procurement, indelivering the right capability to cost and on time.Thesession will look at: how NITEworks enables the bringingtogether of people and technology across all lines ofdevelopment; how NITEworks allows the customercommunity and industry to assess the benefits of NECthrough examining integration, experimentation andtest beds; how to test, validate and de-risk the networkand its systems, and the significance of this inidentifying and resolving key system integration andinteroperability issues; how higher levels of earlyexperimentation allow technology options to be keptopen longer; and how the customer and industry will,in partnership, tackle key challenges in core business,technology and information exploitation and industrialand international collaboration. NITEworks will providean essential tool in testing and evaluating key conceptsand technologies in the NEC framework.

Programme

Outcomes:Current UK Smart Acquisition process is based aroundprojects.A networked C4ISTAR capability is a synthesisof projects.The UK is looking at the changes it needs tomake to Smart Acquisition to ensure that it can specify,procure and sustain integrated military capability,comprising a range of C4ISTAR systems, whilst ensuringthat the procurement process remains agile enough tocope with rapidly evolving underlying technologies.Exploiting C4ISTAR effectively requires a refocusing ofacquisition away from a pure equipment focus, toensuring the necessary changes in the other lines ofdevelopment.The UK Ministry of Defence is keen topromote open debate on the effectiveness of SmartAcquisition.This session will provide a debate on theworkings of Smart Acquisition in acquiring anddelivering networked C4ISTAR - looking in particular onstructural, organizational, process and cultural changes.

Bringing together a range of perspectives from the UKEquipment Capability Customer, from the UK DefenceProcurement Agency and from industry, the session willexamine: case studies of key C4ISTAR programmes; thedirection of the long-term equipment plan for C4ISTARrequirements and capabilities; the impact of legacytechnology issues; the capabilities available in emergingtechnologies; the trade-off risks in performance, costand time; whether there is a need for fresh thinking oninformation exploitation; whether armed forces candeliver on their strategic visions for informationexploitation, and whether procurement models reflectreality; whether existing acquisition strategies remaintoo platform-focused; whether procurement cycles aresynchronized with technology development and userrequirements; whether armed forces can improvetechnology acquisition, pull-through and insertion;whether we understand the reality of procurement andare we prepared to accept the consequences; andwhether there exist both affordable technologysolutions, mutually beneficial procurement frameworksand faster thinking in processes, structures, risk andcapability for C4ISTAR.

This session will look at the critical issue of refreshingthe procurement cycle - in terms of structure,organization, process and culture – for acquiringC4ISTAR capabilities for information exploitation. It will focus on how technology can be exploited to deliverorder of magnitude improvements in equipmentcapability and combat effect.The customer and suppliermust work together in an open partnership to identifyand focus investment on low risk, exploitable technologysolutions and to improve the capability managementstructures and processes to meet realistic equipmentcapability performance parameters, delivery times andto cost, to enable realistic decisions on procurementoptions.As one UK MoD official said at a recent RUSIconference, ‘we should not shy away from usinginnovative technologies, particularly where weanticipate that they might provide a competitive edge,but we must be prepared to fall back onto a lower risk nsolution if it becomes apparent that we cannot deliverwithin the forecast cost and time.’
