The Express Tribune described the Pakistan Air Force's multidomain approach
In Pakistan, an authored publication by The Express Tribune describes the country's Air Force course toward developing multidomain operations. The article states that this approach is intended to unite aviation, early warning systems, radars, drones, cyber units and electronic warfare assets into a single network.
Network model
The author writes that the Pakistan Air Force is moving from the use of separate platforms to a model in which different units and technical assets operate in coordination. The article lists fighters, airborne early warning platforms, ground radars, unmanned systems, command centers, precision weapons, cyber teams, electronic warfare units and systems with satellite support among its components.
The integrated kill chain described in the article provides for detecting a target by radar, confirming the data with sensors, combining intelligence information and making a decision at a command center. Then, under this concept, electronic warfare assets, cyber operations, data transmission channels, fighters and weapons may be used.

The publication links this course to the leadership of Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu. The author names the air, space, cyber and electromagnetic domains, as well as unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, long-range precision strikes and information warfare, as components of future operations.
The article also separately mentions the creation of National Aerospace Science and Technology Parks. The author presents them as a tool for developing Pakistan's own technologies and sovereign capabilities so that the country's defense sector does not rely solely on imported platforms and borrowed technologies.
