NATO UNCLASSIFIED 5
Evolving Capability Supporting New Domains
In order to enable effective execution of Maritime Support tasks, the E-3 Radar’s
Maritime Surface Surveillance Mode was augmented by the Addition of Automatic
Identification System (AIS)
AIS allows operators to partially identify vessels by accessing the world-wide maritime
database where there is an correlated identity/Track, and to identify tracks of interest
based upon suspicious/absence of an AIS return
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
The result enables the E-3 to
both augment the Recognised
Maritime Surface Picture, and to
act as a force multiplier for
Maritime assets

Evolving Capability Ongoing Enhancements
Strategic Challenges will Continue to Evolve
• NATO needs to evolve with them, as its strategic challenges cannot be
managed through crisis response only
Today’s threats are Multi-dimensional
• Our adversaries are investing in capabilities and competing in ways that are
designed to counter our technical and operational advantages
NATO is responding
• NATO is moving to a more flexible/agile posture
• NATO must continue to adapt to ensure it is able to leverage its technological
and capability advantages by integrating activity and effects across multiple
domains
• This requires both new technologies, new ways of operating, and new
approaches to C2
The Future Environment
NATO UNCLASSIFIED 9
Multi-Domain Operations is the Exploitation of asymmetric advantage across
multiple domains (Air, Land, Sea, Space, Sub-surface, Cyberspace) to achieve
freedom of action required by the mission. (Reilly, J. Air and Space Power Journal, Spring 2016)
Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) is simply the C2 across all
domains that protects, permits and enhances the conduct of operations to
create desired effects at the time, place and method of choosing.
NATO UNCLASSIFIED
Multi-Domain Operations
• Situational
Awareness
• Rapid decision-
making
• Ability to direct
forces to achieve
Commander’s intent
• Creating and
exploiting temporary
windows of
advantage
• Building flexible,
resilient formations
in the Joint Force
• Altering force
posture to enhance
deterrence
MDC2. http://www.af.mil/Portals/1/documents/csaf/letter3/Enhancing_Multi-domain_CommandControl.pdf MDB. http://www.tradoc.army.mil/MultiDomainBattle/docs/MDB_WhitePaper.pdf
The NAEW&CF must adapt to play its part
in delivering effective MDC2

Data (Sensor Grid)
Individual pieces of raw,
unorganized facts (text,
details, imagery, etc.)
Information
Data that has been analyzed
and structured to make it
useful in a given context
Decision Superiority
(Effects)
Shared awareness of multi-
domain information to enable
timely, actionable decisions
Speed & Accuracy of the process determines Success
Multi-Domain C2 is critical for Decision Superiority & future operational success

• Increased capacity, capability, and speed to enhance our threat ID capability,
and sustain that capability to Out of Service Date (OSD)
Mission System Enhancement
• Full integration of AIS and IP CHAT
• Improved system processing capacity and data handling
• Improved Human Machine Interface (HMI) to mitigate increasing complexity of
battlespace and volume of C2 information
• Integration of new resources such as Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI)
and Coalition Shared Database (CSD) to move towards a true Multi-Domain
BMC2 capability

Final Thoughts
The NATO E-3 Force has evolved from a simple AEW platform through the
traditional AWACS to become an effective provider of Battle Management
Command and Control (BMC2).
The next series of upgrades will consolidate NAEW capability across the Air,
Land, and Maritime Domains, networking with other systems and capabilities
to support multi-domain operations
Multi Domain Command and Control (MDC2)increases the volume of
data/information to process, the demand for enabling network bandwidth,
and the need to assist decision makers
The enablers for MDC2 are platform agnostic:
• Technology – CONOPS – Supporting Structures
• Shift in approach & thinking
The NAEW&C Force will evolve to sustain its role at the heart of Alliance
BMC2; however, what comes next…?
