ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of organizing the information space for the needs of the armed forces has existed for over a dozen years, and this trend is still growing. It is favored both by the achievements of information technologies and the conviction derived from practical applications and real experiences that these technologies can and should be the main factor of success of contemporary and future military operations and broadly understood national security. In conjunction with the concept of network centric warfare (NCW) developed for several years, using the knowledge accumulated in internet and centric networks to form and apply multi-type force, military operations can become - and become - incomparably more effective. In some simplification, network-centric activities can be described as a concept based on information superiority, according to which the increase in combat strength is generated by connecting sensors, decision makers and combat systems into an information network in order to achieve common awareness, increase the speed of command and pace of operations, increase the effectiveness of weapons, resilience to the opponent's strikes and the degree of synchronization of actions. Thus, network-centric actions translate informational advantage into combat strength through efficient connections of knowledgeable different organizational units on the battlefield.
