Abstract
Network Centric Warfare and Defence Industrial Implications
This paper examines the value of Network Centric Warfare(NCW) concepts, and IT based systems brought about by the shift in military affairs, which is per se considered as an evolution rather than a revolution. The evolution is a consequence of the continuous change in the societal matrix. The paper critically evaluates the implications of NCW and information technology for military strategies, and the industrial structure. Technology sometime develops faster in the civil sector, and the need for leading edge military equipments may lead to the entrance of new IT commercial firms as prime players in the defence market.
