The Challenges and Opportunities of Multidomain Integration

Abstract

The rapid development in technology in recent years, the decreasing technological gap between great powers (China, Russia, United States) and the visibly increasing hybrid, asymmetric, and grey zone threats since 2014, demand sufficient answers from both NATO and the EU, as well as from their Member States. In 2020, multiple concepts and official government communications were released which claimed that the answer for these challenges lays in multi-domain operating and multi-domain integration. The aim of this issue paper is to introduce what we already developed in multi-domain, and it raises some problems which need critical thinking towards a possible national concept development.
