    M. Philippe Gros Research Fellow Fondation pour la recherche stratégique 27 rue Damesme, 75013 Paris July 27th, 2011 NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE FRENCH CASE STUDY This case study 1 proposes an overview of the conceptual background and the various information and communication programs implementing in France the network-centric or network-enabled operations. It does not develop the basic tenets of the NCW concept, assuming it has been extensively covered by existing literature. Executive Summary The French armed forces, as British and other European forces, followed the trend initiated by the US to exploit the new information technologies in order to enhance dramatically the operational effectiveness. From a conceptual standpoint, the French concepts of “infovalorisation ” and “ opérations en réseaux ” (OR), are close to UK NEC concept, that is a networking supporting the control of effects. French share the intellectual foundations of Adm Cebrowski’s NCW (shared awareness leading to self-synchronisation leading to a leap in operational effectiveness). Nevertheless, while OR constitute a pillar of the French approach to transformation, their implementation are not seen as a tremendous revolution in warfare. The OR are enabled at the joint level by several key communication systems, notably the Syracuse satellite communication system and new software radios programs. Regarding information systems, French joint strategic and operational level HQs used the SICA since the last decade. This system is currently transforming Around 5 years behind the US Army, the French Army launched in 1999 its own program of digitisation, the numérisation de l’espace de bataille (NEB). NEB is allowed by the Army signal architecture including RITA 2G communication network and PR4G radio system.

  • ADF Capability Snapshot 2015: Army
    STRATEGIC STRATEGIC INSIGHTS ADF capability snapshot 2015 Part 3—Army 100 Andrew Davies This paper surveys the capabilities of the Australian Army and is an update of previous reviews in 2008 and 2010. Other papers in this series update the corresponding reports on Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy and a future paper will examine C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) capabilities. Army capability summary The main focus of the Australian Army over the past 15 years has been on sustaining combat, training, stabilisation and peacekeeping operations in our near region and the Middle East and Afghanistan theatres. The demands of the ADF’s operational tempo have driven a major rethinking of the structure of the Army under Plan Beersheba. Now well advanced, the end state will be three essentially similar brigades, which will make rotational deployments easier to manage and sustain. Like the RAAF and the RAN, described in previous reports in this series, the Army needs a major recapitalisation of its equipment. An ASLAV (Australian Light Armoured Vehicle) fires on a target at Puckapunyal training area during Exercise Chong Ju, a live-fire training exercise by the Combined Arms Training Centre, on 21 October 2015. Photo courtesy Department of Defence. November 2015 2 ADF capability snapshot 2015: Part 3—Army The replacement of the Army’s fleet of vehicles is now underway. The requirement for protected mobility for deployed forces has increased as the sophistication and capabilities of both contemporary militaries and non-state actors have increased. Soft-skinned vehicles are particularly vulnerable to even small improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

  • Project LAND 400: Defining the Army 126
    STRATEGIC STRATEGIC INSIGHTS Project LAND 400: defining the army 126 Ben Coleman Spend enough time in a queue for coffee at Defence’s Russell Offices and you’re sure to hear some Army folk complaining about how the land forces are chronically short-changed for modern equipment compared to the Air Force and Navy. But a glance at Chapter 6 of the 2016 Integrated Investment Program shows that they’ll need to find something else to grizzle about.1 Defence’s most comprehensive, and expensive, package of land force modernisation is underway, at a cost of $50–70 billion.2 Nine complementary programs cover every area of land warfare, from personal equipment for the soldiers through to unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibious craft, special forces helicopters, digital networks, surface-to-air missiles and long-range battlefield rocket systems. Moreover, those programs are in addition to Navy and Air Force projects, such as sea and air lift, that directly support the land force. Among these programmatic riches, the jewel in the crown is Project Land 400, through which Defence intends to replace the Army’s fleets of armoured cavalry vehicles (ASLAVs) and M113 armoured personnel carriers (APCs). According to Defence, the project will deliver the Army’s next generation of armoured fighting vehicles, with the firepower, protection and mobility to defeat increasingly lethal and adaptive adversaries well into the future.

Despite being present at a number of significant engagements, it has been overlooked by historians. Many assumptions have been made about armoured reconnaissance, including a belief that reconnaissance regiments were mostly or entirely support units, rather than combat units. This study aims to show that the 7th played an important role in the combat operations of 3rd Division in Northwest Europe.
