European Communication Systems Converge

摘要

Military forces throughout Europe are eager to field network-enabled technologies. In doing so, increased force digitisation means that forces will adopt flat structures, work in nets on the net, and require versatile and survivable voice and data communications systems. Those technologies will shrink the "sensor-to-shooter" time cycle. This means superiority in weapons systems efficacy through the use of advanced sensors and the rapid distribution of information to each position within a theatre of operation. This will be only secured on a force-wide scale, however, whereby digitised forces will adapt the whole array of multi-tiered platforms, sensors, weapons, communications as well as specialised decision aids.
