Multi-Domain Operations – A New Approach in Warfare?

  • 1 University of Public Service, Hungary

Abstract

In this paper, the author studies the so-called Multi-Domain Operations, which is a relatively new term in military science. The study focuses on the origin, definition and elements of multi-domain operations. Since the terminology is developing – or at least changing – quite fast from multi-domain battle across multi-domain operations to all-domain operations besides terms like cross-domain operations/effects, this emerging process need to be studied. The paper examines if this term describes a new approach of warfare or it is an old concept in a new guise.
