Reflections on security, during the last decade, have mutated considerably and in a multiscalar way (global, regional, local); and, the concept of security, in terms of its analytical category, has evolved from state-centric dogmatic epistemic and methodological positions to more open and comprehensive ones, which has legitimized a sociocentric view of critical security studies. Thus, the traditional conceptions of the strictly military threat give way to other dimensions, and many States justify the assignment of extra-constitutional tasks to the Armed Forces, without Ecuador being an exception. Based on this, this academic article proposes, from a qualitative methodological design rooted in a transdisciplinary proposal in complexity, to build the interoperational guideline that will serve as a basis for the Ecuadorian Air Force (fae) to advance on its path towards the fulfillment of operations. multidomain. For its development, first, a transdisciplinary situational analysis of the Ecuadorian Air Force was built; As a next step, the megatrends projected for 2040 were defined, focused on the evolution of hybrid threats with axes in geopolitics and war, society and the digital environment; and finally, a doctrinal approach to multidomain was elaborated; The purpose concludes with a narrative where the redesign of the Nettis diagram is exposed, with which planners and decision makers will be able to analyze the threat multidimensionally and multiangularly, with which effective and comprehensive strategies and tactics can be developed, especially to face hybrid threats. and emerging whose complexity and success lies in the use of existing operational gray areas in the State.
