At a time of drastic change, and in a highly interconnected and competitive world, new threats to our way of life are emerging.
Modern and future combat systems need to adapt to this new form of danger. Capabilities to overpower adversaries as diverse as local asymmetric forces, global stateless organizations or new hostile technologically-advanced countries, rely on network-enhanced collaboration combat systems. Whether at home or in an operational theatre, excellence is needed to ensure Multi-Domain Superiority.
New threats, new challenges
To face these new challenges, we have to master the entire battlespace through distributed, cooperative Manned and Unmanned System of Systems - including cyber, space, air, sea and land.
Following the operational loop: See & Anticipate, Connect & Disseminate, Understand & Decide, Act & Support and Maintain & Protect, our customers can rely on Airbus Defence and Space current and future portfolio to support the success of their missions.
