When facing a near-peer on the world stage, the one who can make the best decisions the fastest will hold the advantage. This decision-making advantage will be crucial as it will best use the available, if not limited, resources. Recognising this, forces face several internal and external challenges in achieving this, whether it be the challenges posed by massive quantities of data across domains that need to be processed or the activities and technologies employed by near-peers that try to degrade your decision-making capabilities. The US response to this is Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2), a strategy for combining sensors across domains, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and effectors to achieve decision superiority. On the surface, this strategy seems exactly what Europe needs in the face of a more aggressive Russia. However, challenges abound. This paper explores JADC2 and its applicability to the European context.
