The Net-Centric Software and Systems Consortium
When involved in IRAD or CRAD capture activities, you sometimes find yourself in the position of having the right competencies in place to do the work, but not the capacity. In other cases you may identify technical gaps in your organization which, if you could fill them quickly, might open up new business opportunities. One approach to solving capacity issues is to identify a "force multiplier" from which expertise can be drawn to help achieve your project's technical objectives. In the North Texas region of Network Centric Systems (NCS), this issue is being addressed in part with the formation of a Net-Centric Software and Systems Consortium (NCSS) advocated by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense and sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
