Abstract:
Military forces of NATO states are often constrained to perform missions within the framework of Network Centric Operations (NCO) due to a joint and multinational environment requiring a high level of interoperability. The transformation and development of respective capabilities and systems are often tied to financial and time based expenditures. Thus, models of real NCOs are necessary to analyze risks, problems and development needs. Enterprise architecture models of a certain organization provide views from different perspectives to examine various aspects with the aim of supporting problem solutions. This work presents an approach to apply two different architecture frameworks for modeling NCOs examining various layers of a model for interoperability. Furthermore, analysis methods are introduced to assess the feasibility of NCOs.
