The publication Breaking Defense compares the use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems that allow the American military to make decisions quickly and efficiently in future combat conflicts with the initially successful experience of Nazi Germany in the war with the USSR.
The American edition cites the opinion of Nanda Mulchandani, executive director of the Pentagon's Joint AI Center, according to which victory in the war of the future lies not in specific physical weapons, but in the algorithms of AI systems. Breaking Defense believes that in this way the specialist is actually talking about strengthening the OODA cycle (OODA, Observe-Orient-Decide-Act, “observation, orientation, decision, action”), proposed by the American military strategist John Boyd.
“Look at the years of the blitzkrieg of World War II, when Nazi Germany had fewer smaller tanks than its opponents, but used them better, its tactics were superior to large, but slowly reacting French and Soviet formations,” the newspaper writes.
Breaking Defense writes that in fact, Mulchandani is talking about the automation of the work of personnel, in particular, in the collection and analysis of various data coming from many sensors in various environments, for example, in space and on land.
In September, Valerie Insinna, a journalist for the American edition of Defense News, spoke about a visit to the Combat Operations Center, created at the United States Naval Aviation Andrews Base, where she observed a simulated operation of a “revolutionary combat control system”, during which Washington's response to an attack by a potential adversary was shown probably Moscow.
