Article Abstract:
The US Navy's Submarine Force is a participant in the Network Centric Warfare, the Navy's program that will utilize information exchange to achieve battlespace advantage in future warfare. The networks will employ its informational handling capabilities to make better decisions, implement cooperative maneuvers and enhance deployment of forces. The strategy to improve the Submarine Force's communications systems is the Submarine Communications Support System, an improvement from the fielded stovepipe radio room to an interchangeable open system architecture.

U.S. industry supporting U.S. navy transformation
Article Abstract:
2004 Sea-Air-Space (S-A-S) Navy League Exposition was an impressive exhibition of what (US) naval industry has to offer and was well organized with sound but not counterproductive security. Navy League was more an opportunity for displaying the range of products, for 'being there and seen', and for establishing contacts, rather than selling.
