The UK defence provision is undergoing two major transformations concerned with improving the agility of the armed forces (effects based operations) and the defence supply chain in order to respond to rapid changes in capability requirements. Other nations are facing similar challenges and Network Enabled Capability (NEC) and Network Centric Operations (NCO) have emerged as concepts to address them. These concepts are concerned with advances in information and knowledge sharing to achieve more effective decision making. But delivery of these aspirations requires considerable research effort into interoperability at both technological and societal levels, security implications for networks, general systems engineering processes and tools to manage capability life cycles, and the architecting of systems and of so-called systems of systems. A strong reliance on advances in autonomous systems is also implied. The outputs of research in these areas will also lead to major advances in other domains (e.g. transport) where large complex systems must be managed more effectively.The NECTISE programme (EP/D505461/1) is jointly sponsored by EPSRC and BAE Systems to develop new systems engineering concepts that will support such radical changes in the delivery of engineering solutions to these challenges. It began in Nov 2005 and will run until Apr 2011. The programme supports a consortium of ten UK universities carrying out research into the pertinent themes of through life systems management, system architectures, decision support, and control and monitoring. Loughborough lead the overall research programme and are responsible for integration across this multi-disciplinary activity. A major part of this integration is the formulation and construction of a set of large-scale complex experiments, rooted in M&S. In April 2006, Prof. Henshaw supported a NATO exploratory meeting concerned with the development of M&S as a key enabler of NEC/NCO. This activity (now called MSG062) has been approved by NATO and will be led by Dr. Andrew Vallerand of Defence R&D, Canada. Contributions will come from 11 NATO nations. The Loughborough NECTISE activity will directly support two of the 7 TAP themes and contribute to a third, as follows:- Concepts of capability and models, experiments, and experimental techniques to support chapter 1: M&S to support capability design and through-life management of NEC.- Experiments and integrated programme outputs to support chapter 4: M&S to support acquisition, test and evaluation and logistics for NEC. In fact, the question upon which the NECTISE programme was predicated was are you ready for NEC? which largely addresses the chapter 4 objective of being able to assess net-ready platforms and systems.- Components of our integrated experiments concerning the use of service oriented architectural approaches, metrics and measures to support standards, and life cycle management of systems will contribute substantially to chapter 6: M&S evolution to support NEC and NEC impact on M&S evolution.Involvement in the TAP will be beneficial to the whole of the NECTISE programme and other consortium members will be kept fully informed of the Loughborough activity within the TAP and, when appropriate, encouraged to contribute towards the TAP. In particular, the NECTISE programme has major demonstration phases in autumn 2008 and 2009, and the TAP a demonstration in autumn 2009. The respective demonstrations will provide useful learning in support of each other.The TAP will have four 2-day working meetings and four 0.5 day progress meetings (tied to appropriate conferences) split equally between North America and Europe, and a demonstration activity in North America.

联合王国的国防供应正在经历两个重大转变，涉及提高武装部队的灵活性（基于效果的行动）和国防供应链，以应对能力需求的快速变化。其他国家也面临着类似的挑战，网络使能能力（NEC）和网络中心作战（NCO）已经成为解决这些问题的概念。这些概念涉及信息和知识共享的进步，以实现更有效的决策。但是，这些愿望的实现需要在技术和社会层面的互操作性、网络安全影响、管理能力生命周期的一般系统工程过程和工具以及系统和所谓的系统的系统架构方面进行大量的研究工作。这也暗示了对自主系统进步的强烈依赖。在这些领域的研究成果也将导致在其他领域的重大进展（如运输），大型复杂的系统，必须更有效地管理。NECTISE计划（EP/D505461/1）是由EPSRC和BAE系统公司共同赞助，以开发新的系统工程概念，将支持这些挑战的工程解决方案交付的根本性变化。它始于2005年11月，将持续到2011年4月。该计划支持一个由十所英国大学组成的联盟，通过生命系统管理，系统架构，决策支持以及控制和监测等相关主题进行研究。拉夫堡领导整个研究计划，并负责跨这个多学科活动的整合。这种整合的一个主要部分是制定和建设一套大规模的复杂实验，植根于M&S。2006年4月，Henshaw教授支持了一次北约探索性会议，该会议关注M&S作为NEC/NCO关键推动者的发展。这项活动（现称为MSG 062）已得到北约的批准，将由加拿大国防研究与发展部的Andrew Vallerand博士领导。北约11个成员国将提供援助。拉夫堡NECTISE活动将直接支持7个TAP主题中的两个主题，并为第三个主题做出贡献，具体如下：-能力和模型，实验和实验技术的概念，以支持第1章：M&S，以支持NEC的能力设计和整个生命周期管理。支持第4章的实验和综合方案产出：M&S，以支持NEC的采购、测试和评估以及后勤。事实上，NECTISE计划所预测的问题是，你准备好迎接NEC了吗？这在很大程度上解决了第4章的目标，即能够评估网络就绪的平台和系统。我们的集成实验的组成部分，涉及使用面向服务的架构方法，支持标准的度量和措施，以及系统的生命周期管理，将对第6章做出重大贡献：M&S演进以支持NEC和NEC对M& S的影响参与TAP将有利于整个NECTISE计划，其他联合体成员将充分了解拉夫堡的活动在技术咨询方案范围内，并酌情鼓励为技术咨询方案作出贡献。特别是，NECTISE方案在2008年秋季和2009年秋季有主要的示范阶段，TAP方案在2009年秋季有示范阶段。技术咨询方案将举行四次为期两天的工作会议和四次为期0.5天的进展会议（与适当的会议挂钩），在北美和欧洲之间平均分配，并在北美举行一次示范活动。
