Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC)

PRINT PAGE Add This

The Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) principal command and control (C2) capability focused on providing the Warfighter with the data and information needed to make timely, effective and informed decisions.  Commanders use NECC to adapt rapidly to changing mission needs by defining and tailoring their information environment and drawing on capabilities that enable the efficient, timely and effective command of forces and control of engagements.

NECC provides the DoD with next-generation C2 capabilities using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) on the Global Information Grid (GIG).  NECC draws from the C2 community to evolve current and provide new C2 capabilities into a fully integrated, interoperable, collaborative Joint solution.  NECC replaces the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) Family of Systems (FoS) with a single joint C2 architecture and capabilities-based implementation that enables advanced distributive, collaborative information sharing vertically and horizontally.

NECC provides additional critical C2 functionality not present today, and establishes the C2 SOA foundation for future net-centric C2 capabilities.  NECC will facilitate exchange of information across multiple security domains and reduce logistics and support requirements.
