"Increasing the digitalization of the military is necessary so that the needs of the Defense Forces can be transformed into concrete solutions even faster," the statement reads.
Digital tools are a key element in improving the effectiveness of the Defense Forces. They reduce decision-making time and provide military personnel with immediate access to accurate and up-to-date information. However, the core of the strategy now is to integrate these digital tools into a single ecosystem.
