NTRP 1-02 supplements Joint Publication 1-02 (JP 1-02), Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms. The terminology established by NTRP 1-02 shall be used without alteration unless a distinctly different connotation is intended. For guidance in preparing glossaries and lists of acronyms and abbreviations for NWL publications, consult NTTP 1-01, The Navy Warfare Library. Terminology included in NTRP 1-02 is collected from the main text of promulgated Navy publications and widely-used allied publications. Terms that are adequately defined by or that have definitions that can be derived from a standard collegiate dictionary are not included. Terms defined in JP 1-02 are not included in NTRP 1-02 unless Navy usage has a markedly different context or meaning. Abbreviations and acronyms in NTRP 1-02 reflect standard meanings for those used most commonly in NWL publications. As a general rule, abbreviations defined in standard collegiate dictionaries are not included. Entries do not include prowords, code words, or brevity words. As changes are approved for NTRP 1-02, they are added to the online database, making the online version more up-to- date than any printed edition. The authoritative version of NTRP 1-02 is the online database in the Navy Warfare Library, accessible on the Navy Doctrine Library System website (https://ndls.nwdc.navy.mil/assets/Terminology.aspx). The printable file that is created periodically and added to the website is a database report that facilitates terminology work offline. Both the online and printable versions reflect the idiosyncrasies of databases, including anomalies in alphanumeric sorting. 1-1 APR 2011 NTRP 1-02 INTENTIONALLY BLANK APR 2011 1-2 NTRP 1-02 CHAPTER 2 TERMS AND DEFINITIONS 360-degree security.

  • Distributed Kill Chains: Drawing Insights for Mosaic Warfare from the Immune System and from the Navy

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing this novel warfighting construct to acquire, field, and employ forces. To reveal the value of Mosaic warfare and uncover Distributed Kill Ipotential challenges in the transition to this system, the authors of this report present a pair of case studies: (1) an analysis of the human immune system’s response to pathogens and (2) an analysis of the U.S. Navy’s Naval Integrated Fire Control—Counter Air (NIFC-CA) project. Chains Noting that the human immune system has evolved over 500 million years to exhibit mosaiclike properties—meaning that these properties have Drawing Insights for Mosaic Warfare from the conferred some evolutionary advantage—the authors suggest that Mosaic Immune System and from the Navy warfare might have similar advantages, such as resilience and adaptability, over other approaches to defeating a threat. They then discuss lessons and best practices from the NIFC-CA project, which largely owes its success to its unique approach to development and fielding. For example, NIFC-CA used preexisting testing infrastructure; approached testing in a scientific manner, in which failure was viewed as a learning opportunity rather than a setback; and had a lengthy development timeline. From these lessons, the authors derive a cohesive set of policy recommendations for DARPA.

  • Cryptography
    Cryptography From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Secret code" redirects here. For the Aya Kamiki album, see Secret Code. German Lorenz cipher machine, used in World War II to encrypt very-high-level general staff messages Cryptography (or cryptology; from Greek κρυπτός, kryptos, "hidden, secret"; and γράφ, gráph, "writing", or -λογία, -logia, respectively)[1] is the practice and study of hiding information. Modern cryptography intersects the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic commerce. Cryptology prior to the modern age was almost synonymous with encryption, the conversion of information from a readable state to nonsense. The sender retained the ability to decrypt the information and therefore avoid unwanted persons being able to read it. Since WWI and the advent of the computer, the methods used to carry out cryptology have become increasingly complex and its application more widespread. Alongside the advancement in cryptology-related technology, the practice has raised a number of legal issues, some of which remain unresolved.

The purpose of the Secretary’s Summary Justification is to inform Cong ress and provide the American people a clear understanding of how their tax dollars are being invested to provide for our Nation’s defense. It includes: • An explanation of the Department’s missions, accomplishments, and priorities; • A summary of the request by Military Department and Defense agencies; • Information on special areas of interest and emphasis for Fiscal Year 2010; and • Details on the Department’s major weapons programs. The Military Departments and Defense agencies will provide Congress with additional detailed justification materials on this request. The requested funds would: provide military pay, benefits, and world-class healthcare for 2.3 million Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen ($163.9 billion); support military operations and force readiness ($160.9 billion); invest in modernization ($186.1 billion); and support family housing and facilities ($23.0 billion). In addition to the $533.8 billion request, the Administration requests $130.0 billion for Fiscal Year 2010 to support ongoing Overseas Contingency Operations.

  • Intelligence and Net Assessment
    GW-5 Intelligence 6/28/2016 Page 1 Chapter Five: Intelligence and Net Assessment Like command and control and battle management, the lessons to be drawn from intelligence during the Gulf War are not only valuable in themselves, they lay the ground work for understanding many of the other aspects and lessons of the war. This is particularly true when intelligence is broadened to cover net assessment, and intelligence- related policy. A narrow definition of the role of intelligence not only gives intelligence responsibility for actions and priorities that were often beyond its control, it ignores critical problems and issues that need to be transformed into lessons for the future. Any such, analysis, however, must be shaped by the fact that the Gulf War was in many ways a war between a Coalition that could "see" and an Iraq that was "blind." The COALITION had a near monopoly of sophisticated intelligence, reconnaissance, near real time analysis capability, and secure communication and dissemination assets. In addition, the Coalition could secure its territory against most Iraqi over flights and incursions, while Iraq effectively had "open skies," with basic intelligence problems greatly reinforced by the rigidities in its strategy and tactics, decision making, and command and control process.1 This war between the "seeing" and the "blind" shaped each side's ability to understand the other's military actions and capabilities throughout Desert Shield. It affected every aspect of battle management during Desert Storm, including such basic military functions as targeting. Superior intelligence played a key role in every aspect of Coalition operations, in giving Coalition forces superior effectiveness, in allowing the Coalition to react to Iraq, in achieving surprise and a superior tempo of operations, and in reducing Coalition casualties.

Gormley Spring 2012 Security Studies Center The Institut Français des Relations Internationales (Ifri) is a research center and a forum for debate on major international political and economic issues. Headed by Thierry de Montbrial since its founding in 1979, Ifri is a non-governmental, non-profit organization. As an independent think tank, Ifri sets its own research agenda, publishing its findings regularly for a global audience. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Ifri brings together political and economic decision-makers, researchers and internationally renowned experts to animate its debate and research activities. With offices in Paris and Brussels, Ifri stands out as one of the rare French think tanks to have positioned itself at the very heart of European debate. The opinions expressed in this text are the responsibility of the author alone. Thérèse Delpech (1948 – 2012) Thérèse Delpech passed away on January 18, 2012.
