The modern battlefield has changed fundamentally in recent years. It is no longer characterized by clearly demarcated spaces or linear operational patterns, but by a highly networked, dynamic and multidimensional environment.
The domains of land, air, sea, cyber and space are becoming increasingly intertwined, while sensors, platforms and systems are generating and exchanging more and more data in real time.
For military decision-makers, this means an exponential increase in available information, but not necessarily an improvement in the quality of decision-making. On the contrary: the speed at which data has to be generated, processed and evaluated is increasingly presenting humans with a key challenge: cognitive overload.
