The emergence of network centric architectures and the achievement of information superiority is the new paradigm that is being embraced by the military's next generation of systems to be developed and deployed. The changes dictated in this new architecture are instigating revolutionary changes throughout the DoD. These changes should have an equally profound effect on system integrators in terms of integration practices and policies that will allow network centric architectures to be realized within budgetary and schedule time constraints. The purpose of this paper is to identify key issues currently limiting the effectiveness of system integrators in their efforts to architect network centric architectures and offer suggestions on how to strengthen the integration process through the application of model‐based systems engineering, integrated information repositories, and teams that have both a vertical and horizontal architecture definition and integration responsibilities.
