Prevailing in complex and contested environments will require the ADF to bring together capabilities from across all domains of warfare (air, maritime, land, space and information and cyber) to achieve complementary and coordinated effects.
The ADF already conducts operations across the domains; however, command and control (C2) is currently labour intensive and cognitively complex.
Greater agility – such as faster and superior decision-making – is needed to deliver operational advantage across the continuum of competition and conflict. The future C2 capability must be robust, resilient, responsive, flexible, adaptive and reconfigurable; and it must be able to handle many concurrent and unforeseen situations.
