Alternative Command & Control (C2)

Project Description

  • Client: NATO
  • User Group: Joint C2
  • Status: Ideation Report Delivered

Current approaches to Command and Control do not fully enable NATO’s Military Instrument of Power to plan, prepare, orchestrate and execute synchronized activities, across all domains and environments, at scale and speed. The Alliance needs to adapt existing concepts, doctrine, and processes to enable and strengthen its multi-domain approach to C2 in order to deter and defend against any adversary across the Continuum of Competition. This will require changes to mindset and organizational culture, and taking advantage of technological opportunities.

NATO must continue to adapt to a future battlespace that is persistent, simultaneous and boundless so that it can deter and defeat adversaries across all domains and environments. The Alliance must generate the capacity to understand the projected multi-domain threats, so that we can continue to act decisively in the future across the five operational domains in an orchestrated and synchronized manner.
