There are many potential threats to the command and control and sensor systems used by the Swedish Armed Forces and by civil organisations. One example is the risk of electronic disruption.
The rapid pace of technological development makes increasingly stringent demands on man’s ability to act and function in concert with advanced systems.
The effective use of resources and soundly based data to support decision-making are as important in the Armed Forces as in other areas of society.
The Swedish Armed Forces will be playing a steadily increasing part in international operations and in reinforcing national capabilities in peacetime.
The role of the Armed Forces continues to develop and the system of crisis management is changing. At the same time, questions of defence and security are becoming increasingly internationalised.
Information from sensors enables us to perform better in crisis situations. Sensors, or systems of sensors, can provide early warning, monitor events, help to manage response actions and clarify the extent of any damage.
Armed conflict is seldom limited to the extent that it does not pose a threat to the civil community.
