Command and Control in the Age of Automated Decision Making Process, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Over time, technological innovation has played an important role in the conduct of war and progressively replaced the function of humans in many areas. During interwar period between World War I (WWI) and WWII war was theorized at greater distances, with faster execution and through increasingly complex machines. Current military capabilities are the result of an evolutionary trend in which technology and information play a central role. The impact of new technologies and the increased speed in the future battlespace may over-centralize the Command and Control functions at the political or strategic level. This element is at the foundations of a moral dilemma for the next political/strategic leadership.
