Four types of progressively more complex investment decisions were considered: 1) choosing between two similar capabilities, 2) choosing between two network-centric capabilities, 3) choosing between a network-centric capability and a non-networked capability and 4) determining areas in which to invest in order to improve network-centric capabilities and force effectiveness. Using a simple tactical problem to develop initial insights into the investment domain, network-centric metrics, such as those in the Network Centric Operations Conceptual Framework, were found to be most suited to the first type of investment decision. Some of the metrics in the framework, such as those related to agility and force effectiveness, provide the foundation for comparison between different capabilities and for systems-of-systems analysis. However, they cannot...
