Systems-of-Systems Integration Using A Net-Centric Organization

This paper presents a real-world, industry perspective of the challenges associated with operating a global live, virtual, constructive (LVC) environment. The LVC environment comprises an expanding network of on-demand MSA&E capabilities which allows customers to experience the interactions of system-of-systems (SoS) architectures and behaviors at a level not possible elsewhere. Robust systems-of-systems integration is a core competency for world-class LVC operations. The net-centric organizational model discussed here has shown resilience and high performance under stressing conditions.
