Eh?! what do you mean by this? without C4I there cant be any net centric capability.
I mean C4I is there but old technology. if IAF going for net centric warfare systems C4I is past for them. it is a centralized system and is nothing compared to distributed system like net centric warfare. In C4I structure one particular command get all the information and makes decisions , in net centric warfare all the information shared by all the resources available fast and securely. Like a Kilo submarine sonar detects a ship at certain range outside it torpedo range but can cue the sonar data to any nearby friendly ship or aircraft securely which can utilize that data to engage that enemy sip. All the resources work like in a single network whether it is ship, submarine, aircraft, satellite, radar station etc.
Net centricity means co-ordination of C4I from everywhere to be integrated into one place giving a clear picture to the top heads for decision-making.
No. net centric warfare is not this. This is C4I you are talking about. NCW is not for giving clear picture to the top heads but for sharing by all.

Network-centric warfare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Network-centric warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Network-centric warfare, now commonly called network-centric operations, is a new military doctrine or theory of war pioneered by the United States Department of Defense.
It seeks to translate an information advantage, enabled in part by information technology, into a competitive advantage through the robust networking of well informed geographically dispersed forces.This networking, combined with changes in technology, organization, processes, and people - may allow new forms of organizational behavior.
Specifically, the theory contains the following four tenets in its hypotheses:
A robustly networked force improves information sharing;
Information sharing enhances the quality of information and shared situational awareness;
Shared situational awareness enables collaboration and self-synchronization, and enhances sustainability and speed of command; and
These, in turn, dramatically increase mission effectiveness.
