Facing New Wars, NATO Wants to Accelerate the Transformation of Its Military Capabilities

As conflicts evolve, particularly with the growing use of drones and electronic jamming seen in the war in Ukraine, NATO wants to accelerate the integration of new military technologies. French Admiral Pierre Vandier, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, is calling for faster force adaptation, military robotization, and stronger defenses against drones. The Alliance also aims to improve information-sharing through artificial intelligence and digital tools, and reorganize its forces to deploy troops more quickly in a crisis. Its strategic concept, adopted in Madrid in 2022, sets out three core missions and identifies Russia as the most significant and direct threat to Allied security.
