Guest Paper Series | NATO’s Digital Capabilities
This new HCSS Guest Paper Series explores key aspects of NATO's digital capabilities and how the Alliance can prepare for the demands of a rapidly evolving digital battlespace. The four expert contributions address cloud computing, lessons from Ukraine's battlefield innovations, gaps in NATO's current C4ISR infrastructure, and China's AI-enabled command capabilities. Building on these expert insights, a new HCSS Capstone paper by Hans Horan, Sofia Romansky, and Davis Ellison outlines a strategic blueprint to modernise NATO’s collective digital capabilities and C4ISR systems across Europe, ahead of the 2025 NATO Summit.
