This work focuses on the proposed Network-of-Networks Interface Model (NIM) at the center of the Battlespace Communication System Land (BCS(L)) being developed for Australian Defence Force. The NIM seeks to resolve network interfaces in a Network-of-Networks construct through the application of Systems Engineering. The notion of Network-of-Networks (NoN) is analogous to System-of-Systems (SoS), but with additional challenges to incorporate Information Exchange as well as application of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model in the identification, specifications and design of interfaces. Simulation and data modelling techniques are employed to capture network interfaces for the proposed BCS(L) NoN with executable results reported.
