Abstract

NATO seeks to maintain its edge in an uncertain future through the study and eventual
exploitation of Emerging and Disruptive technologies (EDT). These technologies can be applied
to improve the ability of the NATO and partner nations to conduct operations along a number of
Joint Functions as defined by NATO doctrine (e.g. AJP-3). Joint functions of interest include
sustainment, command and control, force protection and the like. Capability development must
effectively address gaps or pain points that operational users are experiencing.
The emergence of 5G cellular networks, which boast properties such as increased bandwidth
and decreased latency provide better connectivity for numerous technologies that require a
constant, fast and reliable internet connection. NATO charted a Science and Technology
Organization (STO) Research Task Group (IST-187) to provide recommendations on the
implementation of 5G technologies to support military operations. To that effect, a first
experiment was executed in 2022 that examined the added value of 5G technologies toward
specific NATO training related use cases. This activity leveraged the first NATO 5G-testbed
initiative launched by the Latvian Ministry of Defence (MOD) at Ādaži base. In response to the
success of the 2022 experiment, a second experiment has been performed, in the same
environment, in October 2023 to further research the benefit of 5G and NGCN technologies on
C2 effectiveness and efficiency.
