Enabling Military Security Cooperation Through Improved Commercial Communications Infrastructure in Central Africa

Abstract

Communication systems play key roles in every military operation. Improved communication technologies and increased connectivity, down to the tactical level, expand interoperability in combined arms maneuvers. Military communications rely heavily on commercial infrastructures; improved commercial communications infrastructures will enable the success of the states in the Central African region through more than just military partnership. This paper will assess the implications of improved commercial infrastructures in remote locations in Central Africa with a view to determining whether this would improve military communications and operations in Central Africa.
