Summary/Abstract: The four components of the OODA loop can be split into three which are associated with processing information, and one which is associated with movement and application of firepower. Observation-Orientation-Decision is information centric while Action is kinetic or centered in movement, and firepower. Armed with a general understanding of the concepts of Information Superiority and Network Centric Warfare, enterprising individuals and organizations are developing new ways of accomplishing their missions by leveraging the power of information and applying network-centric concepts. Creating a military structure based on NCW concept represent the first revolution in military affairs. Most of the weapons used are based on an old technology which achieved a maximum level of evolution. In order to increase the envelope of that weapons in term of mobility, firepower and precision other technology should been created. On the other hand all weapons are based on oil fuel for mobility and chemical energy on fire power. For that reasons a second revolution in military affaires should happen.
