Joint Service Publication 777 - Network Enabled Capability

The aim of this UK MOD Joint Services Publication (JSP 777) is to provide a clear expression of what the United Kingdom means by Network Enabled Capability (NEC) in order to engender a much wider and more common understanding of its tenets not only within the UK's Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces, but also across Government, within Defence Industry and Academia, and with allies and coalition partners.

It also seeks to stimulate innovative thinking and debate on, as well as active and constructive engagement in, this pivotal change initiative in order to help guide and further progress the development of NEC. Nearly 10,000 hard copies of Edition 1 were put out on a very wide distribution across the Defence community in late January 2005. The NEC Handbook was endorsed by the Command and Battlespace Management Board in November 2004 and will be reviewed on an annual basis.
