Potential threats are increasing, and they are challenging European and allied armed forces. With the ability to provide integrated effects across domains, European countries and allies will have the potential for military superiority, the key to safeguarding peace.
This increased operational complexity constitutes a technological challenge, as rapid adaptable Forces will need to engage collaboratively across Domains. Orchestrating such multi-domain operations requires Armed Forces to embrace the capabilities of connectivity and cloud approaches. Airbus’ Multi-Domain Superiority (MDS) concept covers the Multi-Domain Combat Cloud and the Future Combat Air System. The MDCC will orchestrate all domains, FCAS will focus on air and sea domains.
