COL (Ret.) John Antal's Top Warfighting Disrupters

Top Warfighting Disrupters

Transparent Battlespace
There is no way to hide or avoid being targeted. We must either mark or die. Masking is the full-spectrum, multi-domain effort to deceive enemy and disrupt enemy targeting.

First Strike Advantage
Red will have the first move. We must survive the first strike or lose the fight.

The Tempo of War
The Tempo of War is accelerating beyond human speeds and cognition. We will need Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance to affect the Observe, Orient, Decide and Act (OODA loop) in real-time.

Top Attack
Drones, Loitering Munitions, and Long Range Precision Fires are the decisive methods of engagement. We will have to mask to maneuver and fight to get within close combat range.

Full Autonomous
Human On The Loops (HOTL) weapons are being replaced with resilient Human Out Of The Loop (HOOTL) weapons.

From Kill Chain to Kill Web
Kill Chains are transforming to AI-enabled Kill Webs where HOOTL weapons will communicate with each other and synchronize and execute attacks in real-time.

Visualize The Battlespace in All Domains
Today's command posts and the Commander's Interface for Mission Command are inadequate. Mobile armored command groups with access to an AI-enabled All Domain Operations Common Operational Picture (ADOCOP) are required.
