Artificial Intelligence Guided Battle Management: Enabling Convergence in Multi-Domain Operations

Abstract

The US Army in Multi-Domain Operations 2028 (MDO 2028) is the Armys future operating concept. It is a document that illustrates how the service anticipates it needs to adapt and evolve to maintain a competitive military advantage in the future fight. Critical components of the concept are the Tenets of Multi-Domain Operations Calibrated Force Structure, Multi-Domain Formations, and Convergence which enable the dis-integration of enemy anti-access and area denial systems and allow military forces to exploit short windows of superiority. It is a concept which hinges on the ability to continuously synchronize capabilities in time, space, and purpose, to achieve cross-domain synergy and create an exploitable window of superiority. The joint forces current process of converging capabilities by episodic synchronization of domain-federated solutions, does not support the rapid and continuous integration of capabilities across multiple domains in the reoccurring cycle of competition and exploitation against a future peer-threat. Therefore, it is critical to consider what capabilities allow the military leader to overcome these technological and human cognitive limitations. One possible solution is the integration of artificial intelligence into the battle management process.
