Abstract
There is a need to revamp transatlantic relations and its logic in the contemporary multipolar, globalized, and technologically advancing world. NATO's deteriorating deterrence and capabilities are linked to Europe's weaknesses, originating from inharmonious national preferences, industrial and policy divisions within the block, and an absence of effective, sustainable, and modern approach to address the strategic capability shortfalls.
This article critically reviews European defense integration efforts before building upon current warfare trends, mainly space and artificial intelligence. It argues the vitality and mutual utility of transatlantic relations that can be addressed by focusing on civilian and private sector-driven investments into cutting-edge technology research.
