Language: High proficiency level in English language

Alliance Future Surveillance and Control (AFSC) is an initiative to explore and pursue options for future surveillance and control capabilities. It will define a system-of systems with contributing capabilities like the E-3A but adapted to the multi-domain fight of the future. The AFSC initiative seeks to finally reap the benefits of NATO Network-Enable Capability ideas planted nearly two decades ago - getting the right information to the right place, at the right time.

ACT will be responsible for driving the development of the concepts related to the future surveillance and control system of system. It will lead the elaboration of requirements for the latest data connectivity capabilities and an open architecture approach that will ensure secure, rapid, and large data exchange. The AFSC Fast track under development aims at procuring new AFSC assets in a short-term period and will have to comply with the requirements elaborated by ACT for AFSC integration.
