Mick, good stuff in the transformative trinity of drones, meshed sensor and analytics networks, and decentralized/democratized and digitized information. This all assumes the militaries embracing this realize a need for a different mix of personnel
and skills but also a willingness to fully trust and embrace the ability of commanders in the field. This requires a radical change in mindset. It threatens long standing modes of thinking and operation. So the basic challenge will be an institutional cultural shift within the militaries to recruit and retain highly skilled people who can analyze, learn, and adapt on the fly as the OODA loop will become increasingly compressed.
I can't resist the feeling that we're simply playing down along all the SF books of the 1980s-2000s or so. We'll see, but this is definitely game-changing.
