“ We’re seeing this
evolving defense
landscape where
there is a contest
in every single
domain: land, air,
sea, space and

WORLDWIDE PUBLIC SECTOR,
MICROSOFTThe US Air Force has maintained air
superiority for decades, and all of sudden
that air superiority is being threatened by
$400 quadcopters that you can buy at any
big-box store. The threat is asymmetric,
and very real.
“We’re also seeing this evolving defense
landscape, where there’s contest in
every single domain: land, air, sea, space
and cyberspace. The battlefield itself
is changing. The landscape is moving
increasingly to the digital domain. It’s all
about who has information dominance.
It’s all about data. It’s about insights.
It’s about secure connectivity, especially
at the tactical edge."260 March 2021
