More than six hundred specialists in information and communication systems, including the active reserve of the Agency for Communication and Information Systems (AKIS), completed the largest joint exercise of the joint army called Federated Cloud 2023 in Bechyna from April 12 to 28, 2023. The main task was to check the cooperation of the troops at the tactical and operational level using classified information systems according to the Federated Mission Networking (FMN) concept, a NATO initiative that optimizes command, control, decision-making and information sharing when allied troops are deployed.
No gunfire, tanks, planes or noise - just one power station. Only information silently flows through the control and command system, regardless of whether it is a Czech, Romanian, Slovak, Bulgarian or Croatian army. No war can be won without fast and reliably delivered information. Information superiority is the basis of superiority on the battlefield. Ukraine is the best example. The faster and more accurate the communication flow, the more fundamental the Czech army gains. In short, there is no command without communication, and even the best equipment and well-trained soldiers cannot defeat the enemy without up-to-date and accurate information.
"It is no longer about ordinary communication devices, but highly sophisticated technology, which must be used effectively," says Colonel Tomáš Kosík from the Ministry of Defense's communication and information systems section.
Originally a local exercise for signalmen, in eight years it grew into a prestigious international event. The joint forces of the Army of the Czech Republic and allies from Romania, Slovakia and Bulgaria verified mutual cooperation, compatibility and interoperability of current technologies. The organizer was the Communication and Information Systems Section of the Ministry of Defense and the subordinate agency AKIS.
