The paper examines the role of Polish artillery in a multi-domain battlefield. It uses literature and doctrinal analysis to assess how integration across land, air, sea, space, cyber, and cognitive domains affects artillery effectiveness. Findings show that artillery is increasingly dependent on interoperability, information flow, and systemic resilience. The study highlights new threats and opportunities, including A2/AD development. It concludes that multi-domain integration, rather than firepower alone, determines future combat effectiveness.

Obstacles alone may not be sufficient to stop or destroy a target completely, but they can degrade its mobility. This helps to make firepower more effective. This study examines when using both counter-mobility measures (CM) and firepower effects (JF) together yields greater effectiveness than using them separately. Monte Carlo simulations in MATLAB 2025a were used to compare CM, JF, and CM+JF. The comparison is based on the probability of detection (PD) and the weapon system availability rate (WSAR). Synergy is measured in two ways: (i) Ddiff, which shows how many more targets are destroyed with CM+JF compared to using CM and JF separately, and (ii) the index S, which shows the total effect of CM+JF compared to the sum of the CM and JF effects. The results showed positive synergy in most cases, with 44 of the 50 combinations having a positive lower bound for the 95% confidence intervals of Ddiff.

The paper examines the role of the University of Defence as the academic engine of a Multi-Domain Concept Centre supporting Multi-Domain Operations in a small-state context. Using document and comparative analysis and stakeholder workshops, it proposes a Concept Development and Experimentation–driven framework integrating doctrine, experimentation, capability planning, and education. Findings show that academic leadership enhances methodological rigor, interoperability, and knowledge transfer. The paper presents an original NATO-aligned model for sustainable multi-domain concept development.

This article analyses how the evolving Arctic security environment generates new requirements for the intelligence staffs of non-Arctic North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) armies, using the Czech Army as a case study. Drawing on doctrinal analysis, scenario-based assessment, and a review of intelligence education, it identifies a structural mismatch between land-centric intelligence practice and the Arctic’s multi-domain, hybrid, and environmentally extreme operational character. The article concludes that non-Arctic allies require proportionate doctrinal adaptation, differentiated professional education, and a limited but credible Arctic intelligence capability.

This paper examines Stability policing as a key tool for strengthening national defense in contemporary hybrid threat environments. Using a qualitative approach that combines a literature review, comparative analysis, and a case study of Ukraine, it analyzes its role across the conflict spectrum. The findings show that Stability policing bridges the gap between military operations and law enforcement, enhances resilience, and enables accountability through battlefield evidence collection. The study highlights its strategic importance for countering hybrid threats and preventing security vacuums. It contributes by conceptualizing Stability Policing as a proactive and integral component of national defense systems.

The paper discloses theoretical approach of multi-domain military operations (later – MDO) and how it might be used by small NATO countries. Hereby NATO MDO is being understood as multinational approach, operational goal focused, joint armed force operations. Additional to this future warfare insights are being provided revealing difficulties of small NATO countries facing MDO or even higher level of military operations. In order to meet the goal of the article content analysis was executed disclosing various perspective on MDO and its’ application using official, public available information sources. The results of the paper determine difficulties for small NATO countries to execute MDO or even higher profile operations and for this case its’ leads to necessity to integrate national armed forces into bigger ones like NATO alliance. Final outcome of the paper disclose that modern warfare requires more than just MDO but rather joint all domain operations (later – JADO). Hereby JADO is new venue to face future conflict which goes beyond military domain and for this purpose small countries have to adopt accordingly.
