Summary/Abstract: The military action developed into a complex, dynamic and hybrid environment is basically decided upon by an essential element called “informational superiority”. In the context that, the requirements for providing data and information are in an upward dynamic, the existence of a unified communications architecture at the level of the allied military forces and the implementations of deployable and flexible systems, able to process a sufficient amount of information in order to be provided to decision-makers, become determinant.Existing interdependencies in the sphere of processing and dissemination of information in cyber environment and the necessity for interconnection of specialized systems, commonly used in contemporary military actions (communication and information system – CIS, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance system (ISTAR), automatic weapons systems - AWS, automatic force protection systems - AFPS) highlights the need of unifying network infrastructure and services for all NATO members states. The necessity to ensure interoperability and rapid communication support for new NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) becomes vital in hybrid military actions.
