, the Department of the Navy requested the Naval Studies Board of the National Research Council to conduct a study to examine C4ISR for future strike groups. In brief, the tasking for the study was as follows: · Assess the C4ISR capabilities of each type of strike group, · Recommend a C4ISR architecture to be utilized in major combat operations, · Identify promising technology trends, and · Examine organizational enhancements to enable the recommended architecture.

And, regarding the final task, organizational enhancements are necessarily a focus of the study because of the management challenge inherent in creating a C4ISR architecture for naval strike groups. This study complements the Naval Studies Board's recently released FORCEnet Implementation Strategy,1 which is recommended to broaden the reader's perspective.

Composability focuses on the ability to create new work flows dynamically, changing both information flow and resource assignments to achieve mission success. The ad hoc teaming requirement of C4ISR systems for Navy strike forces drives a critical need for composability.

The Navy Chief Engineer and his or her Marine Corps counterpart should be supported by a robust, enterprise-wide mission systems engineering and experimentation activity to guide and shape major component programs toward the objective of achieving full network-centric C4ISR system-of-systems capability.

Recommendation 8: The Navy Chief Engineer and his or her Marine Corps counterpart should initiate a transition-planning and -analysis activity for the near, mid- and long term, with priority for development placed on systems that enable significant and measurable improvements to key mission threads.5 In particular, the Program Executive Office, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, and Space (PEO[C4I&S]
