Defence and Strategy - Strategic Alternatives for Armed Forces Development

Original language description

Conference addressed mainly topics related to the Armed Forces development. The success of long-term adaptation of Armed Forces to the dynamics in the strategic environment is a fundamental precondition for strengthening the defence of the North Atlantic community. In the wake of rapidly changing security landscape, the political prerogative became credible and sustainable defence and enhanced readiness and preparedness of our Armed Forces. On the international stage, NATO Heads of States and Governments at NATO Summits in Wales, Warsaw and Brussels confirmed this trajectory. After more than a decade of focus on Crisis Management, NATO is rebalancing its focus on Collective Defence and Cooperative Security. This rebalancing between the three NATO core tasks amplifies the challenge to maintain an advantage over a larger scope of potential adversaries in the future. In this context, from a military perspective, the rapid evolution of our strategic environment and the growing challenges to the Alliance’s technological edge both compel us to change our current mindset and the ways we generate strategic military effects. Additionally, the member states of European Union also seek a higher level of integration in the area of defence, which has been - traditionally - national domain. The objective in this endeavour is to enhance European Union strategic autonomy via strengthening defence capability. Above-mentioned political considerations and priorities call for agile military thinking in order to keep Armed Forces fit for purpose in long-term perspective. Defence planners should seek a higher level of innovation; apply novel approaches; develop disruptive concepts; implement efficient and effective ways of training, and reconsider new business models to meet the future defence and security challenges. Moreover, in times of budget decrease and flourishing technological innovation in the civilian market, a growing number of nations are taking the option of massively leveraging innovation to fill the gap between ambition and capability of their Armed Forces.
