Enhancing Situational Awareness and Decision-Making:

The Impact of Advanced ISR Solutions on Command and Control Systems

Absztrakt

This document explores the transformative impact of advanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies on modern military Command and Control (C2) systems, particularly within NATO and EU contexts. It highlights how cutting-edge advancements like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), edge computing and big data analytics enhance situational awareness, decision-making and operational efficiency. The transition from network-centric to data-centric warfare is examined, emphasising real-time data integration, autonomous systems and decentralised decision-making to address the complexities of modern combat. While these technologies offer unprecedented decision superiority and adaptability, challenges such as information overload and cybersecurity vulnerabilities are also discussed. The study underscores the need for continuous innovation and integration of emerging technologies to maintain a strategic advantage in dynamic military environments.
