Abstract

The military information scene is expanding as technology advances, and it has a fundamental impact on combat activities. It requires a high level of precision, expertise and dedication to set the right standards for military concepts and to establish a proper set of requirements of standards for military concepts, such as in NATO. Digital devices have become an integral part of the activities of the combatant soldier, as the use of modern tools makes combat activities more efficient. In a modern society, modernisation processes extend to the field of defence as well, resulting in intensive development in a growing number of countries. The requirements of the digital soldier are nowadays influenced not only by the warrior but also by those connected to him in the full information space, since a modern soldier is already an element of a network in network-centric military operations.

Highlights

  • In today’s information-oriented society, the defence strategies of different nations undergo constant changes and innovations

  • The Digital Soldier is a global military concept that provides support to combat soldiers using the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art technology. This program is focused on the combat situation when a combat soldier performs his task using his personal equipment

  • The concept of a digital soldier is made up of several sets of capabilities that can result in a modern warrior equipped with competitive technology

Introduction

In today’s information-oriented society, the defence strategies of different nations undergo constant changes and innovations. SZELECZKI: Outlining a Set of Theory-based Requirements for the Future Digital Soldier continuous analysis since the second half of the 20th century They only focused on defence against grenades with regard to the capabilities of the uniform concerning­ shrapnel-protection, but later on, these concepts became more and more a technological issue in telecommunications, and with the spread of information technology, the continuous presence of voice and data connections became an integral part of the requirements. The networked, modern concept of this equipment system and arsenal belongs to the digital soldier Investigating this concept and answering the emerging questions in the present day is becoming more and more important to the armed forces, and its comprehensive understanding and integration may be a key issue for future armed forces, where consistent, precise definition of requirements is essential. “Digital Soldier is seeking whitepapers to include specific technologies and/or novel integration ideas.” [2] Military developments bring up national and allied (e.g. NATO) requirements that affect the digitisation of combat soldiers, so a set of requirements must be established, which serves the interests of all in the future
