The Air Force C2 System: An Essential Element of Multi-Domain Battle

Abstract

The character and conduct of warfare continue to change the modern battlefield. For the last two decades the United States military has evolved from its Air-land battle construct, designed to defeat a massive conventional attack, to an organization that is capable of coordinating distributed effects to find, fix, and defeat terrorists. The modern battlefield, however, is and will continue to be, different. It is more fully integrated across the entire globe and in each operational domain. This evolutionary development presents a new level of complexity requiring extensive cross-domain integration to achieve operational success versus high-level coordination as in the past. To achieve success in this new environment, the U.S. military is developing a new operating concept - multidomain battle (MDB).
