Unlocking Training Technology
for Multi-Domain Operations

Multi-domain operations can present many challenges for training, particularly as various disparate organizations must be involved and centralized coordination must be balanced with decentralized training objectives. Emerging training technologies can help support the unique complexities of MDO, but the training community may need to solve old problems.

Building a Layered Strategy for AI: Applications at the Strategic, Operational and Tactical Levels

AI is a formidable enabler but its potential remains far from realized. There is a growing role in using AI for improving the air force’s planning and decision-making processes at the different levels of warfare, if the inherent limitations and constraints of this technology can be appropriately managed. Allowing for as much data as possible to be exploited will be key to expanding AI adoption.

Fifth-Generation C2: The Human Levers of Change and the Characteristics of a Fifth-Generation Air Commander

Fifth-generation air warfare rewrites the delivery of air power by bringing together all components of air operations. Fifth-generation C2 will depend on human factors and the ability of air commanders and their subordinates to adapt to new ways of working. The air force will require leaders that can train new ways of thinking and cultivate trust.

Command and Control, Space

Joint All-Domain Command and Control
and the Role for Space

Only the space domain can move information at the speed, size, and range required of an effective JADC2 architecture. If the United States hopes to prevail in a peer conflict, foundational space-based capabilities will be essential. The Department of Defense and the Space Force must prioritize a robust space transport layer, sensors, and space superiority to protect these capabilities.

Innovation and Capability Development in a Multinational Context: The Costs and Benefits of Cooperation

Military capability development is a highly complex process, and when it happens in a multinational context, the complexities increase significantly. Militaries manage these complexities using several models, but each model presents trade-offs. The most relevant trade-off is between coordination and political costs on the one hand and economic and military benefits on the other.

Mosaic Warfare: The March Towards Interconnectivity in US, UK and European Air Power

Information and data-sharing networks are shifting linear decision-making in warfighting to a web of actionable outcomes that can deny, deter, and defeat adversaries. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe are all attempting to create a dynamic and adaptive matrix of capabilities to enable real-time, actionable, and predictive analytics for decision-making and C2.

Information Superiority

The Competition Continuum for Information Dominance: The Future of Information Warfare for the Joint Force

The Joint Force has experienced rapidly changing circumstances in the information warfare (IW) environment. The objective of achieving dominance poses new and complex challenges in an emerging environment of hyper-connectivity that spans the physical and virtual domains. IW must become embedded in all activities from the onset of planning—not ‘added on’ at the end or planned in isolation.

Information Superiority

Information Warfare and the Connected Battlefield

Information warfare has tended to refer to cognitive aspects, but emerging discussions focus on the ‘convergence’ of electronic warfare and cyberspace in what is known as cyber electromagnetic activities. A hyper-connected battlespace may increase the attack surface for information warfare across the physical, electromagnetic, cyberspace, and cognitive domains.

Space

The Emerging Spectrum of Threats to the Military Use of Space and Implications for Capability Planning

The space domain will increasingly provide the means for vital military communications and situational awareness at a global scale. With new threats on the horizon, militaries require ‘hardened’ space capability, better space situational awareness and space traffic management, and space systems that can be designed, developed and upgraded at speed.

Interoperability

Integration and Interoperability for Multi-Domain Operations in the Coalition Environment

Multi-domain operations promise new operational advantages and will reshape air combat, but also necessitate changes in approaches to joint and coalition operations. The challenges of interoperability are reframed however there are no readily available solutions to bridge differences when partner air forces each bring their own sets of capabilities, tools, and platforms to the fight.
