LEVERAGING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TO ENABLE DECISION SUPERIORITY

by David Taylor; Emil Kheyfets; Timothy Stewart

Abstract

Recent operations in Ukraine have proven that introducing new technologies, tactics, techniques, and procedures can significantly affect the 21st century battlefield. The U.S. military is integrating the lessons learned from this and other recent conflicts into the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) warfighting concept. DoD is seeking to achieve decision superiority through JADC2 “to produce the warfighting capability to sense, make sense, and act at all levels and phases of war, across all domains, and with partners, to deliver information advantage at the speed of relevance." While this definition captures what JADC2 aims to achieve, it says little about how to achieve it. This paper uses the OODA loop and a project convergence use case (wet gap crossing) to show how artificial intelligence (AI) will enable decision superiority by reducing risk in this complex and relevant scenario.
