Network Centric Warfare (NCW) or perhaps a better term would be Network Centric Operations (NCO) is rapidty becoming one of the areas where the most likely progress in fficiency and effectiveness of military operations will take place.The benefits of information technology and specifically network technology in the civil business area is starting to make itself feel in the miLitary domain too.In the US a lot of attention is given to NCW to start adapting US forces to the ideas of NCO.However, little is still known about how to achieve coaLition-based NCO.This paper will go into some detail in discussing issues involved in Coalition-based NCO or CNCO as we will call it.After a short summary of the ma.in issues of NCO we will try to identify some of the most important key factors involved in CNCO and discuss some of these items.Speciat attention will be given to concepts of interoperability.A migration path based upon the here proposed methodological approach is suggested as Q means to achieve CNCO' )
