The Establishment of a Future European Terrain Database

In the defence industries, as elsewhere, the art of strategy requires a good understanding of possible futures on which to base current choices. Change, instability and uncertainty are the lot of any decision-maker today and will be even more so tomorrow. Digital technology is more important than ever for defence, giving leaders the effective and efficient force to make informed decisions from a common, accurate and timely picture of the operational situation and occupy a strategic position on the battlefield.

This is mainly due to the war in Ukraine. The Strategic Compass now contains ‘tougher language’ against Russia (Barigazzi, Gijs & Lau, 2022). The 47-page final result is inevitably heavily influenced by the recent Russian military invasion of Ukraine and its profound impact on the European security architecture.
