3. The NNEC Roadmap Development Process

4. The NNEC Roadmap Goal: Management Tool to Govern NNEC Developed by ACT and Used by NC3B and L&G Support Group Design Principles: Steer NNEC Development at Strategic Level Guidance and Tempo for maturity of Initiatives at NATO and National Levels Nations Should Provide Guidance and Input Application: Identify NNEC Shortfalls Synchronize Capabilities with NATO Ability to Measure Progress The upper half of this slide, shows the NNEC Component Areas. The implementation of NNEC will increase operational effectiveness, enabiling More capable future forces via: Better Information; Better Command and Control; and Better Decision Support.

7. Introduction of the NNEC Roadmap Development of the NNEC Roadmap The Analysis Process Conclusions and Recommendations Overview

8. The Focus Areas The (current) operational capabilities at each milestones are described based on 8 Focus Areas: Organization Mission Analysis Joint Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (JISR) Target Acquisition and Fire Support Battle space management Command and Control Force protection Logistics Operational Milestones, Objectives, and Focus Areas are currently being reviewed and validated by Subject Matter Experts

9. NNEC Enablers The enablers are the �actions� that need to be taken to achieve the objectives supporting the milestone goals Examples: approval of NNEC policy, development of an IEG�

10. The major inputs One of the key issues of completing the roadmap is identifying the list of enablers. Main sources: Mid Term Plans (MTPs) Master CP List and Capability Packages description Current Capability Area Roadmaps (CARs) and associated PoW (experimentation, R&D, education and training and NURC) Defence Requirements: DRR/NDPP, Capability Packages, etc. SME Inputs from the different Communities of Interest (CoIs)

11. Example: The NDPP The NDPP:

13. Roadmap as Analysis Tool

14. NNEC Analysis: Process NNEC Analysis Goals using the Roadmap: Enable identification of programmatic gaps and overlaps Lead to identification of additional actions that must be performed to achieve higher levels of operational capabilities Product of analysis using the NNEC roadmap will include: Capturing inputs from the NDPP, capability shortfalls and LoA Identifying mismatches between NNEC milestones objectives, associated activities, plans and resources and potential solutions Deriving inputs for Capability Improvement Plans and Force Proposals Adjusting LoA of NNEC Providing guidance for NATO Nations� evolutionary synchronization

15. Outputs of the Analysis The analysis will provide information on: When each milestone can be achieved under the current planning constraints Possible mechanisms to speed up the process Which activities are putting the milestones at risk Which activities are in the critical path Which required activities are currently unfunded or not programmed R&D and experimentation requirements Current NATO policy and doctrine change requirements

16. NNEC Roadmap Value Added Identifies, sorts, schedules and prioritizes the activities to achieve the operational gains related to NNEC implementation. Identifies conflicts (gaps, overlaps, etc.) Provides information Nations require to really govern NNEC realization. Provides information to link military (operational) objectives to programmatic and implementation activities. Links several current instruments for NNEC improvement (NDPP, MTPs, CPs, R&D PoW, EPoW) under the same umbrella

18. Current Status of the Roadmap The framework is developed. Milestones, Focus Areas and objectives have been defined and described (Validation on-going, marginal changes expected) We already have a significant initial collection of enablers (under refinement) The analysis process is fully described and consolidated The Military analysis and recommendations processes are underway All the above is being coordinated at Bi-SC level with participation from NHQC3S, JFCs, Agencies, �

19. Conclusion The NNEC roadmap is feasible and doable The work performed so far proves that the NNEC roadmap: Can align operational needs with programmatic / implementation activities Can embrace Capability Improvement activities including CPs, MTPs, R&D PoW, etc. Can produce inputs and recommendations at both governance and management levels for NNEC implementation. The concept, framework and implementation of the NNEC roadmap is (successfully) almost finished. Focus now is to engage CoIs & SMEs to accelerate population and validation of the roadmap

20. Recommendations The NC3Reps are invited: To note this briefing and to support the approach To support ACT in on-going activities: Collection of inputs from the Communities of Interest and Subject Matter Experts Military Analysis to derive inputs for governance To invite ACT to maintain and further develop the NNEC roadmap To agree on a process to have the NNEC roadmap approved by the NC3B.
