Analysis of Multi-Domain Operations Concept and the Role of Emerging Advanced and Disruptive Technologies for Its Operationalisation

At present, Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) concept is of interest for the whole defence and security sphere, especially for the Euro-Atlantic area, where its implementation and operationalisation are desired at the level of the military instrument of power, as well as at the national and international strategic level, in an allied and partner context. The manner in which emerging and disruptive technologies can be transferred and integrated into the military field in order to provide stability and give the concept practical-applicable utility, and the way in which it can be operationalised, are elements of great interest to national military authorities at the moment, while giving the concept a probabilistic character for those analysing this area of the military field. Moreover, the decision-making process and the operational side are elements that, in the multi-domain integrative framework, require the involvement of advanced technologies, in particular artificial intelligence, which also, as a subdivision of technology, practically marks the existence of the contemporary human being, becoming a basic constituent in the conduct of military actions. In this article, we will try to give a realistic picture of this concept by presenting information analysed and extracted from bibliographical sources that reflect a qualitative and topical character. Therefore, the research method used throughout this paper will be the bibliographic research method (literature review), through which we will attempt to project a critical analysis of the impact that the concept will have on society.
