Network Centric Operational Warfare (NCOW), the Global Information Grid (GIG), a typical Directed Energy (DE) Weapon System, and elements within a Battlespace that the DE Weapon would communicate with, are concepts introduced in this paper. NCOW requirements are described as applied to a weapon system, a DE weapon in this application, but the requirements and the solution proposed could be applied to other systems as well. This paper introduces a general DE Weapon and an architecture that meets the attributes described in the DoD Net‐Centric Data Strategy.
