The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On The Military Decision-Making Process And Mission Command
Abstract: The progressive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) transforms military command across doctrinal, procedural, and cultural dimensions. AI reshapes the balance between centralisation and decentralisation across command levels. Using Col. John Boyd’s OODA Loop as a generic model of the military decision-making process (MDMP), it is possible to see how AI influences each step of… Read More

The Illusion of Transparency: Data vs. Intelligence on the Battlefield
Abstract: Hybrid warfare integrates both military and non-military tactics, leveraging AI, cyberspace, and the information realm as force multipliers. Cyberspace and the information realm serve as a domain and battlefield, while AI accelerates decision-making and disinformation. Modern surveillance fosters a perception of a “transparent battlefield,” yet raw data is not actionable intelligence and understanding adversarial… Read More
