The importance of mastering Multi-Domain Operations has never been more relevant. With emerging threats from space and cyber Domains combining with existing land, sea, and air risk factors, the formation of a collective, multi-layered operational approach is paramount for the Alliance. #NATO’s drive to foster greater Multi-Domain Operational capabilities seeks to combine the capabilities of every nation, affiliated service and private industry to build a comprehensive, yet streamlined command structure. As NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) prepares to host this year’s NATO Multi-Domain Operations Conference, the Alliance’s emphasis on orchestrating integrated Multi-Domain Operational capabilities continues to seek the full integration of Alliance capabilities to out-pace and out-think its adversaries.

Negotiations over new NATO cyber center still ongoing weeks from planned launch. Why it matters: 1. NATO's emergence in the cyber defense arena reflects the organization's recognition of cyberspace as a key battleground. The new digital center seeks to enhance the alliance's military preparedness by ensuring civil-military cooperation across peacetime, crises, and conflict scenarios. 2. Positioned at its military headquarters in Belgium, the NATO Integrated Cyber Centre (NICC) aims to provide 24/7 visibility over networks that could impact military operations in Europe. This reaffirms cyberspace's significance, bolstering a stronger, more robust approach to digital threats. 3. The shift toward greater strategic coordination in cyber defense has seen the rejection of a separate tactical command, favoring instead a comprehensive facility to boost cyber competencies and protect against potentially damaging cyberattacks.

As NATO celebrates its 75th anniversary at the Washington Summit this week, let's take a moment to reflect on the future of the EU-NATO partnership. For decades, Europe has not invested enough in security and #defence.  Today we face the biggest security challenge since the Second World War. We have no option but to revamp our security systems and capitalise on digital tech to keep us safe and cut costs. We should also learn valuable lessons from #Ukraine that has been effectively using digital tech in the fight against Russia to protect its people and its critical infrastructure How to get there? Our latest paper outlines 10 new technologies that will shape the future of the battlefield.

NATO's Steadfast defender 2024 and its regional implications:- STEADFAST DEFENDER 2024 represents a comprehensive multi-domain exercise, integrating operations across land, air, sea, cyber, and space, which has been a central focus of doctrinal advancement at NATO Allied Command Transformation. The exercise entails the deployment of forces from North America and other regions of the Alliance to Europe, facilitating intricate multi-domain operations spanning thousands of kilometers. This endeavor aims to bolster civil-military collaboration and bolster national and collective resilience over an extended period. NATO exercises, particularly of this magnitude, are meticulously planned years ahead, employing simulated scenarios to bolster the Alliance’s collective defense capabilities. These exercises serve the dual purpose of refining defense strategies while also deterring potential aggression from adversaries of comparable strength. STEADFAST DEFENDER 2024 stands as a pivotal moment for NATO, underscoring transatlantic solidarity, resilience, and resolve amid evolving security dynamics. Amid ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe, this exercise unequivocally signals NATO’s readiness to safeguard its members, uphold its principles, and preserve collective security across the Euro-Atlantic region.

UK-Ukraine agreement on security cooperation. A treaty. "the Participants will work together on ensuring a sustainable force capable of defending Ukraine now and deterring Russian aggression in the future, through the continued provision of security assistance and modern military equipment, across the land, air and sea, space and cyber domains – prioritising air defence, artillery and long-range firepower, armoured vehicles, and other key capabilities as required, such as combat air, and by promoting increased interoperability with Euro-Atlantic partners". “Participants will work on the implementation of a joint protocol for deterring and responding to cyberattacks by the Russian Federation, its satellites and pro-Russian hacker groups" #russia #ukraine #cybersecurity #agreement #uk #cyberwarfare https://lnkd.in/dB-jez2W

Well beyond the military effects, Multi-Domain Operations (#MDO) pushes us to rethink the spillover effects on the theatre of operations (influence, economic, overall resilience). And by the way, there are more and more good #wargames out there to model #MDO. We work on that.
