A force multiplier is a technology, operating doctrine, or combination of techniques that, in the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff definition, "...when added to and employed by a combat force, significantly increases the combat potential of that force and thus enhances the probability of successful mission accomplishment.[1] Examples of force multipliers for all kinds of warfare include low observability (i.e., stealth), precision guided munition]]s, network-centric warfare]], swarming (military)]] in appropriate situations and airborne command & control.

In air warfare, force multipliers include airborne C3I]] in aircraft, multirole fighter]]s, and unmanned aerial vehicles]] (UAV).

For combat on the ground, force multipliers include GPS]], night vision, special operations force]]s, precision-guided munition]]s and a common operational picture]].
