Challenges to national defence in contemporary geopolitical situation

The paper examines contemporary national defence challenges arising from the interconnection of digital technologies, social dynamics, and global tensions. Using interdisciplinary analysis and policy review, it explores how cyber threats and emerging technologies shape resilience and security outcomes. The findings highlight the critical role of societal trust, strategic communication, and coordinated international frameworks such as NATO and EU initiatives. The study implies that effective defence strategies require integrated technological, social, and policy dimensions. The paper contributes original insights into comprehensive security approaches that enhance both national and collective resilience in the digital age.
