Swiss Defense in the 21st Century
The Swiss Armed Forces (VBS) have released three comprehensive reports outlining their vision for the future of defense in Switzerland:
- "Air Defense of the Future 2017"
- "Future of Ground Forces 2019"
- "Cyber Overall Concept 2022"
Air Defense of the Future 2017
The Air2030 initiative provides the Swiss Air Force with the resources to implement a comprehensive and integrated air defense system.
This system will be able to detect and intercept threats from manned aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles, ensuring the safety of Swiss airspace.
Future of Ground Forces 2019
Modern ground-based air defense systems can neutralize not only fighter jets but also unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, and cruise missiles.
This report details the plans for modernizing ground forces and equipping them with the latest technologies.
Cyber Overall Concept 2022
The increasing reliance on technology in military operations has made cybersecurity a critical concern.
This report outlines the VBS's strategy for protecting its networks and systems from cyberattacks and ensuring the integrity of its operations.
By implementing the recommendations outlined in these reports, the VBS aims to ensure that the Swiss Armed Forces remain capable of defending the country against evolving threats in the years to come.
