NCCT provides options for commanders by turning Miles into Meters and Hours into Minutes.

L-3 ComCept, the prime contractor for Joint and Coalition Forces Targeting Network - Network-Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT) Program of Record, is changing the way warfare is conducted. The Institute for Defense and Government Advancement awarded L-3 ComCept the Outstanding Achievement from the Defense Industry in Network Centric Warfare, 21 Jan 2004, for their efforts on NCCT.

NCCT involves automated cross-cueing between platforms to find, fix, track, engage, and assess short-up time emitters and other time-sensitive targets. It allows correlation to quickly fuse sensor data from individual command, control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms to build target folders in a common, shared database. Single collaborative NCCT tracks report to targeting decision-makers in minutes with greater accuracy than single platform operations.

These networks are scalable and can be tailored to geography, warfare domains, or other criteria. Network participants can receive a correlated picture with pedigree data on existing displays and workstations. The goal is to provide a single target/threat picture for all participants that are interoperable via direct machine-to-machine networking and/or service-oriented architecture. NCCT provides collaborative multi-intelligence identification and geo-location on high-interest events to all participants and command and control elements in near real-time.

Leveraging technologies developed for the NCCT program, L-3 ComCept is able to design and develop sensor networks which are interoperable with one another, as well as NCCT. Repeated demonstrations in venues such as Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment and Trident Warrior 05 have validated the powerful potential of NCCT.
