Summary	The objective of this project is to establish a net-centric systems engineering (NCSE) research capability at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to support the PEO EN and the Navy in the acquisition and deployment of next-generation enterprise and C41 systems. In order to do this, six tasks will be carried out: Task 1: Investigate and document the NCSE and enterprise competencies required by the Navy acquisition and systems engineering workforce; Task 2: Based on these identified workforce competencies, design a set of research-enabled courses and propose adjustments to the NPS NCSE curricula; Task 3: Identify the laboratory requirements for the proposed NCSE courses and design a balanced approach to classroom lecture and laboratory research for each of the specified NCSE courses; Task 4: Design and implement an initial set of expandable lab facilities required for support to the NPS NCSE faculty and students; Task 5: Identify a set of NCSE graduate student capstone project and thesis topics; and Task 6: Develop an FY-09-to-13 NCSE academic plan that will serve as the basis for NPS NCSE research and education planning.
