The Joint Forces Air Command Problem

Authors

William A. Woodcock

Abstract

The marriage of network-centric warfare and the joint forces air component commander concept represents a “military-technical revolution” in aero- space command and control.1 The current system is cumbersome, and it is falling behind in its ability to deal with the fast-paced warfare of today. By its nature, network-centric warfare (NCW) could address many of the shortfalls of the cur- rent joint air component system. It will not, however, change the fundamental nature of war, nor can it solve all of the current problems of the joint forces air component commander (JFACC).
