Opportunities and Directions for the Evolution of Command and Control Systems in the Context of Multi-domain Operations

Abstract

The military conflicts of recent times have highlighted the need for modern military operations to focus on multi-domain operations, which requires a transformation of the command and control system, by creating mobile and flexible headquarters that can provide relevant information at any time, even during redeployments and redeployments. Cloud computing can be used to integrate data collection tools, ensuring fast and accurate analysis of large amounts of incoming data. A private 5G network can provide a secure, high-speed and reliable communication environment for cloud-based command and control systems. This network will enable real-time information transfer, facilitate rapid decision-making processes and enable the deployment of autonomous vehicles and drones. The authors have also explored capabilities that support the deployment of autonomous vehicles and drones, enabling commanders to conduct intelligence and surveillance more effectively. By leveraging technology and advanced communications systems, commanders can lead their teams in a dynamic environment while providing a high level of situational awareness. This integration of information and mobility allows commanders to react quickly and decisively, ultimately increasing their effectiveness on the battlefield.
