contents The paradigm of joint communications and sensing (JCAS) envisions a revolutionary integration of communication and radar functionalities within a unified hardware platform. This novel concept not only opens up unprecedented interoperability opportunities, but also exhibits unique design challenges. To this end, the success of JCAS is highly dependent on efficient full-duplex (FD) operation, which has the potential to enable simultaneous transmission and reception within the same frequency band. While JCAS research is lately expanding, there still exist relevant directions of investigation that hold tremendous potential to profoundly transform the sixth generation (6G), and beyond, cellular networks. This article presents new opportunities and challenges brought up by FD-enabled JCAS, taking into account the key technical peculiarities of FD systems. Unlike simplified JCAS scenarios, we delve into the most comprehensive configuration, encompassing uplink and downlink users, as well as monostatic and bistatic radars, all harmoniously coexisting to jointly push the boundaries of both communications and sensing. The performance improvements resulting from this advancement bring forth numerous new challenges, each meticulously examined and expounded upon.
