| Summary/Abstract |
Military's quest for Net Centric Warfare (NCW) capabilities has been ongoing. Intra-Service net-centricity in navy and air force is more because their weapon systems cannot function without it, but army is lagging behind. More significantly, inter-service NCW capability has made little headway. Lack of appropriate higher defence structures, void of network culture and inadequate political push, all are contributing factors. This, despite acknowledging that response to conflict situations need NCW capabilities and the Prime Minister declaring in 2004 during the Unified Commanders Conference, "Reforms within the armed forces also involve recognition of the fact that our navy, air forces and army can no longer function in compartments with exclusive chains of command and single service operational plans".
