NATO recognized for modernizing operations
28 January 2009
1 MIN READ
Senior NATO official Dag Wilhelmsen, General Manager of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control (NC3A), received the Arthur K. Cebrowski Award on January 28, for the development and evolution of networked-enabled operations, helping to better coordinate actions and reduce casualties.
Modern multinational operations increasingly rely on technologies that allow participating nations and commanders to rapidly share key information, such as location of forces and key intelligence.
The prestigious Cebrowski Award recognizes someone who has had an impact on the development and evolution of these ‘net-enabled’ operations. It is the first time a NATO official has received the award.
Lives saved
By facilitating the sharing of key information and expensive resources, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), net-enabled technologies are helping the Alliance to do more with less, and better protect forces and supply lines in challenging environments such as Afghanistan.
Key progress in NATO includes friendly force tracking, but also high capacity communication networks and sharing of intelligence information such as video footage from UAVs.
This allows the Alliance to better coordinate actions and reduce casualties. Sharing information between civilian and military actors, including NGOs, civil UN agencies, is another key advantage.
“I am deeply honoured by the award,” said Wilhelmsen, “Successful network-enabled operations are all about teamwork, and it is the entire NATO community that achieved this, with a key role played by Allied Command Transformation.”
