Finding Pathways for Human-Machine Teaming in Command and Control at operational level: Taking advantage of both the best humans can offer and machines can provide.
A collaborative study between the NATO Command and Control Centre of Excellence (NATO C2COE), the Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC), and the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) was presented by NATO C2COE Deputy Director LtCol Rabia Saylam during the 30th International Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium (ICCRTS), held from 3 to 6 November 2025 at the Swedish Defence University, Stockholm, Sweden. This year’s theme was “C2: Past, Present, Future.”
The paper, “Finding Pathways for Human-Machine Teaming in Command and Control at the Operational Level: Taking Advantage of Both the Best Humans Can Offer and Machines Can Provide” focuses on how collaboration between humans and machines can enhance decision-making in complex, multi-domain operations, and was written by LtCol Rabia Saylam, PhD (NATO C2COE), Gwendolyn Bakx, PhD (JAPCC), LtCol Ralph Dekker (NATO C2COE), Max van Rijn, MA BEd (NATO C2COE), and Magdalena Granåsen, MA (FOI).
Rather than offering a prescriptive blueprint, the paper presents practical considerations and concrete, actionable suggestions for embedding Human-Machine Teaming as a foundational enabler across all features of Cross-Domain Command. Ultimately, Human-Machine Teaming offers not merely a technological enhancement but a paradigm shift toward more adaptive, resilient, and effective command, leveraging both human judgment and machine capabilities in concert.
The paper was nominated for the Best Paper Award and will be published on our website soon, following a workshop on this theme during our Annual C2 Conference, which will be held in Rotterdam next week, where the discussion will continue.
