THE PRACTICAL LIMITS OF DIGITALIZATION IN MILITARY AIR DEFENCE

Digitalization involves a collective technological progress and a transformation process. Digitalization in the military environment has acquired new perspectives. The level of digitalization of different armies across Europe is not very well known but can be intuited. New current concepts such as AI - artificial intelligence, Internet of Things - IoT, blockchain, big data, Machine learning, augmented reality, virtual reality, extended reality, mixed reality, quantum computing, will be included in the existing military ones (e.g., C4I2SR). Even if the technological advance has increased in the military, the limits of digitalization are referring to the human factor. Reaching the limits of digitalization in the sphere of air defense forces us to design a non- digital backup plan.
