**description:** Scope:
Military operations require higher flexibility and mobility to gain and maintain the initiative. A collaborative, more efficient and digitised secure, cyber-resilient battlespace across land, air, maritime and space domains is key for information superiority, future mission management, spectrum dominance and smart decision support. The development of a common shared information space with a ‘cloud of clouds’ approach, leading to multi-domain operations cloud services, is therefore needed.
The objective of this topic is to follow on and complement previous activities in the field of multi-domain operation cloud services and combine actual existing and future multi-level community-of-interest (COI) and COI-enabling services into a federated, multi-national service mesh. The aim is to enable and support multi-level situational awareness and command and control capabilities for multi-domain operations, therefore providing the capability for an improved battle rhythm for military operations in collaborative multi-domain warfare.
Beyond defence technologies, this topic also contributes to the STEP objectives as defined in the STEP Regulation in the target investment area of deep and digital technologies.
