Options for small NATO countries to prepare for multi-domain operations

Recently, a new term "multi-domain operations" (MDO) has emerged, which describes how battles will be fought in the future, as the armed forces will operate in a more concentrated manner (Figure 1), which means that they will operate in five military areas: air, land, sea, space and cyberspace. Military operations will be conducted in five areas under their simultaneous management or coordination from a single center. This new perception, perhaps a change in the conduct of war, is influenced by the level of modern technological development, the need to increase the survivability of their own troops on the battlefield and the understanding that effective military activity requires actions carried out not only in classical military conditions, but also in space and cyberspace. This, of course, changes the established understanding of conducting military operations, and now is the right time to start thinking about how small NATO countries will adapt to these changes.

Since 1898, when H. G. Wells described deadly rays in The War of the Worlds, the number of scientists who announced success in creating such a miracle weapon has grown from year to year. And all the governments of the world, including the tsarist and Soviet, sought to get it. The Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) even approved the project of buying the developments of the famous Nikola Tesla. However, in the second half of the 1930s, all countries became convinced that it was extremely difficult or even impossible to create "death rays". But 80 years ago, in July 1941, the leaders of the USSR received completely different information from scientists,and later through intelligence.
