Winning the Future: The U.S. Military’s Need for Technological Dominance and Defined Strategic Vision
Abstract
This blog post explores how our Joint Force, its constituent Services, and our Allies and Partners can rise to meet this Operational Environment challenge through the “prioritized strategic integration of AI and battlefield autonomy within U.S. military systems” — tempered by “human agency and accountability.” They astutely observe, “Decisive tactical and strategic advantage will not hinge upon massed firepower, but on cognitive speed, operational agility, and the fusion of advanced technologies with human command.” This, in turn, will require us to transform and inculcate a culture of anticipation, innovation, and rapid technological adaptation. Dr. Giordano and Ms. Annett provide us with three recommendations that will empower us to meet (and beat!) our adversaries.
