Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO produced a pivotal shift in the security environment of northern Europe. The new linkage between the High North and the Baltic Sea regions has far-reaching consequences for defence planning for the Nordic-Baltic region and for the conduct of naval operations in what is now a single operational space. 

How has the integration of Sweden and Finland into NATO reshaped maritime security in the Nordic-Baltic region? What are the current capabilities of Russia’s Northern and Baltic fleets, and how do they affect our strategic outlook and operational planning? What intelligence and surveillance technologies are needed to improve situational awareness across the region? What innovative tactics and asymmetric strategies should be employed to counter potential threats from numerically superior adversaries in this multidomain environment?
