An AI-controlled F-16 fighter jet, called “Vista”, took off, participated in aerial combat (a dogfight), and safely landed all through the onboard still-learning artificial intelligence. In the front seat of this flight was United States Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall III. The exponential growth we are witnessing in AI systems from healthcare to warfare can be awe inspiring and, at times, frightening. While we desire these systems to have unlimited potential for the betterment of humanity, we have to ensure that there are safeguards against tipping the balance to a destructive future. Next steps…The Air Force are planning for an AI-enabled fleet of over 1,000 unmanned warplanes, with the first of these operating by 2028. The arms race is moving to an era of the “hyperwar”, a warfare system where artificial intelligence systems autonomously control and drive military operations, including combat, surveillance, and strategic decision-making. Awe-inspired or scared? You decide… #artificialintelligence #hyperwar #warfare

New tech means defense outweighs offense. In a recent talk at the Ash Carter Exchange, Gen. James Rainey, head of the Army Futures Command, emphasized the strengthening role of defense over offense due to new technological advancements. This could significantly shift traditional military strategies, prioritizing long-range support weapons over direct offensive tactics. https://lnkd.in/dNtRvDjp Key Themes: Technological Impact on Defense: Enhanced defensive capabilities through advanced technologies. Shift in Combat Strategy: Moving from offense to support roles for infantry and tanks. Role of Networks: The critical importance of robust communication networks in modern warfare. Adoption of Unmanned Systems: Increased reliance on unmanned systems for both combat and logistics. Principal Arguments: Rainey argues that new technologies, especially unmanned systems and enhanced network capabilities, now necessitate a defensive posture that integrates long-range and precision weapons. This shift aims to adapt to modern combat challenges where traditional rapid assault tactics have become less effective. Data Insights: The use of drones and advanced reconnaissance in conflicts like Ukraine highlights the shift towards technologies that bolster defensive over offensive operations. Rainey points to the destruction of advanced Western systems by Russian forces as a key example of the changing dynamics. Conclusions and Recommendations: Gen. Rainey suggests intensifying the development of unmanned logistical support and strengthening network capabilities to maintain technological superiority. The future of military strategy appears to hinge on adapting to these technological shifts, with a strong emphasis on enhancing defensive capabilities and rethinking traditional offensive maneuvers. Takeaway: The future of warfare is evolving, with a clear shift towards integrating technological advancements in defense systems. Leadership must consider these changes to effectively prepare and adapt military strategies for the challenges ahead. #MilitaryStrategy #DefenseTechnology #UnmannedSystems #ArmyFuturesCommand #MilitaryLeadership #artillery #rockets #Drones #Loiteringmunitions #EW #BSS

Here are some thoughts about the advancement of infantry-type troops on future battlefields. Let's consider the expansion of the required spatial situation awareness for an individual trooper through the ages. In the pre-firearms era, foot soldiers generally fought in somewhat tight formations. A rank-and-file trooper had to observe only a planar sector before him. The threat was in front of a soldier. Archers posed a threat, but shields negated light long-range projectiles from above. As firearms emerged and became more advanced the formations spread, thus expanding the area of situation awareness. Minefields and boobytraps added a new dimension to that awareness. Now the loitering maneuverable drones pose a persisting threat from the above. For a targeted personnel it is not enough just to take cover unlike in the case of mortar and artillery shelling and bombing from traditional aircraft. A modern soldier has to observe the whole sphere around him, expediting a notable share of efforts at the cost of other activities. However, there is a solution to that problem. It is known that a combat-line soldier gets support from about ten auxiliary troopers. There is a new type of combat personnel, namely drone operators. They are unique as they work outside the operated vehicle in contrast to crews of armored vehicles and airplanes while delivering damage at a frontline. The operators also do not require dedicated vehicle compartments. This leads to a new paradigm of augmented control where one can crumple a few more remote crewmembers into a single-seated vehicle thus ideally permitting them to switch roles as circumstances dictate. The complexity of infantry battle gear turns a soldier into a vehicle in all but a name. So it is worth adding a personal remote operator to a support chain for the soldier to assess sensors and camera readings and share a cognitive load by advising on situation awareness.

The science fiction we grew up on is already here – it's time we embrace it. "Unfortunately, [autonomous systems & AI-enabled warfare] is a future for which the United States remains unprepared. Its troops are not fully ready to fight in an environment in which they rarely enjoy the element of surprise. Its jets, ships, and tanks are not equipped to defend against an onslaught of drones. The military has not yet embraced artificial intelligence. The Pentagon does not have nearly enough initiatives aimed at rectifying these failures—and its current efforts are moving too slowly." If this is the state of the US military now, where should the Canadian Armed Forces begin? Read more ?? https://lnkd.in/er5KpCxJ

Army office using ‘transforming in contact’ units to test new EW gear August 21, 2024, DefenseScoop https://lnkd.in/eDGQ5y3x 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division is testing a new Manpack solution and vehicle-mounted EW equipment at its Joint Readiness Training Center rotation in August. According to Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, there are three areas where the Army needs to be faster and more adaptable when it comes to delivering equipment to forces, due to how challenging the threat environment is and the cat-and-mouse aspect of countering opponents’ moves: unmanned aerial systems, counter-UAS and electronic warfare.
