Abstract
Defense forces are exploring the potential of exploitation of the fifth generation (5G) mobile cellular technology in the military domain. The extent to which 5G could be used in the military domain depends on the specific usage scenarios e.g., tactical operations, deployable or fixed headquarters (HQs). However, till present it was not yet studied how adoption of 5G is affecting doctrine, organization, training, materiel, facilities, leadership and education, personnel and interoperability (DOTMFLPI). The paper elaborates on the impact 5G has on each DOTMFLPI element and vice versa. It was observed that all elements have things to be addressed before military 5G systems will be deployed.Abstract
