Surma, I.V., Annenkov, V.I., Karpov, V.V., Moiseev, A.V. The “network-centric management”: the modern paradigm of development of management systems in the military forces of the leading global powers.

Abstract: The article shows that the search for the efficient management methods and the modern development of information technologies have led to the appearance of the novel management paradigms, such as the “network-centric management”. It is noted that in the conceptual and theoretical sphere the network-centric approach in the military is implemented as a system including three sub-systems formed as mutually penetrating frames (information subsystem, sensory and intelligence subsystem and combat subsystem — subsystem of separate tactical divisions and combat management), when the information subsystem frame penetrates the entire system of modern administration and forms its basis. The author provides comparative analysis of classical and network-centric approaches towards management and experience of its implementation in the sphere of warfare taking examples of some states (the USA, France, the Great Britain, Germany, Israel and China). The system of network-centric administration is a combination of previously formed and deployed widespread automatized electronic networks for collection and primary evaluation of information, centers for keeping and analysis of information, as well as the contours of management and decision-making, and their combined effect forms an united information and management area, covering the entire administration area. The main idea of the network-centric war is integration of all of the forces and means within a united information sphere, allowing for multiplication of efficiency of military use through the synergy effect. Introduction of the network technologies into the military sphere is a revolutionary step, which is aimed at the improvement of the military capabilities of armed forces due to their operative and efficient use.


Keywords:

network-centric management, the NATO, global information frame, network-centric wars, J-structures, synergy effect, network-centrism, network technologies, perspective intelligence means, OODA (observation, orientation, decision, action).
