Technological developments and advances in potential adversaries result in new and enhanced threats worldwide. Future action has major implications for the C4I* in the tactical mobile domain of land-based action.

The armed forces aim to be a technologically advanced, information-driven organisation capable of acting as a trusted partner and protector by 2035. To achieve this, Information-Driven Operations is necessary to be able to react and anticipate quickly to achieve a favourable position vis-à-vis opponents.

FOXTROT is one of the preconditions for Information-led Operations (IGO), with the objective: All mobile platforms always securely connected and interoperable with (inter)national partners to enable Information-led Operations. To achieve the intended effects, up-to-date, timely, reliable and accessible information is a necessity.

Present from Defence will be:

Jeroen van der Vlugt, chief Information Officer
Col Jasper Kremers, programme manager FOXTROT
Col Anne Iedema, deputy programme manager FOXTROT
Gerrit-Jan Timmermans, lead architect

*C4I=Command, Control, Communication, Computer & Information systems/intelligence
