Expeditionary Sensor Grid

Meeting Objectives
• To describe the concept of Expeditionary Sensor Grid
(ESG) and status of efforts.
• To describe how Web Enabled Navy (WEN),
Expeditionary C4 Grid (EC5G), and ESG are
proceeding along a common path to achieving the
vision of FORCEnet.
• To agree on building a common terminology for the
elements of FORCEnet.
• To agree on building an experiment plan for WEN,
EC5G, and ESG.
FORCENET
The Vision
FORCEnet is the architecture
that integrates sensors,
networks, decision aids,
weapons, warriors and
supporting systems into a
highly adaptive human-centric,
comprehensive maritime
system that operates from the
sea bed to space and from sea
to land.
Expeditionary Sensor Grid
New expeditionary sensors, processing, and the
supporting networks that when combined with
the emerging information infrastructure of our
programmed forces (Joint, Coalition, and
National) will provide the tactical and
operational warfighters with the necessary
situational awareness to maintain battlespace
dominance while rapidly dismantling any
potential adversary’s anti-access capabilities.

The Motivation
We have a 5 - 10 year
window of opportunity to
improve…
•
Do We Retain Our Dominant Position ?
Effective
Combat
Power
Knowledge of where, when & how to
maneuver & strike in order to
(1) achieve battlespace dominance
(2) dismantle anti-access defenses
(3) achieve operational effects for
decisive termination
Access for maritime forces and the
Joint Force
•

Decision
• Common Terminology for elements of
FORCEnet
– NWDC will take lead in developing terminology
with support from N6 and N09W – NWDC will
coordinate with SSG
• Experiment Plan for ESG, EC5G & WEN
– NWDC will take lead in coordinating plan for
integrated laboratory, limited objective, and Fleet
Battle experiments with support from N6 and N09W
