NETE is a medium fidelity, end-to-end model used to analyze the Global Information Grid (GIG) infrastructure and Net-Centric Warfare (NCW) related CONOPS and design concepts.

The ExtendSim based NETE model provides a means to assess the ability of a defined network to support a concept of operations with resource management to allow the assessment of latencies under varying loads. NETE calculates the impact of network ‘jitter’ on mission timelines. This model has been used to analyze Transformational Communications supporting missile search operations, missile defense engagement operations, architectures for Responsive Space Operations and Homeland Security.
