Note Prepublication record (machine generated from publisher information) Executive Summary In future conflict, we may end up having to fight a peer adversary. In such a fight, we will not have a decisive technology advantage. Furthermore, it is likely that we will be physically outnumbered. In that fight, the way we orchestrate our force will be vital in gaining us the advantage and ultimately to win the conflict. Air Command and Control (Air C2) is all about orchestrating our Air Forces. Through exercising Air C2, we strive for decision superiority. A major stepping stone to wards achieving decision superiority is achieving information superiority. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aims at just that. The future operation environment in which we fight a peer adversary has the potential to become very complex and highly dynamic. In that environment, we need to be able to adjust our actions constantly to cope with any situation that may develop and react in real-time to emerging threats and opportunities. We need to be agile; ready to resort to high degree of dynamic (re-)tasking to out-pace and out-manoeuvre the adversary. This puts extraordinary strain on the real-time link between Air C2 and ISR to achieve and maintain decision superiority. Both the RAAF and the RNLAF will significantly transform during th e next decade, as captured in Plan Jericho and CLSK 3.0. One of the driving factors for the transformation is the introduction of the F-35 Lightning II. To employ it effectively and efficiently, RAAF and RNLAF will have to look critically at how we operat e, and probably apply new concepts. Both Forces have a vested interest in understanding how current and planned Air C2 and ISR systems and concepts support exploiting the RAAF and RNLAF combat potential to the max. They furthermore share the interest in e volving Air C2 and ISR to suit F-35 employment in a future, 5th Generation Air Force to achieve the required agility to operations at the ta
