FUTURE BATTLESPACE MANAGEMENT. FIGHTING AND WINNING IN THE INCREASINGLY COMPLEX AIR OPERATIONS ENVIRONMENT OF THE FUTURE

Abstract

In the context of technological progress and of the combination between conventional, asymmetric and hybrid capabilities across traditional domains as well as the cyber and space ones, NATO’s freedom of manoeuvre could be compromised, and its effectiveness in deterring potential aggressors could be reduced. Thus, in order to deal correctly with these security threats and to operate effectively in this type of “multi-domain environment”, it is necessary for NATO to have a more comprehensive approach and to develop new strategies that allow a more integrated and synchronised use of forces.
