High-End Warfare in the Indo-Pacific Theater Will Require Distributed Sensing (From RealClearDefense)

October 3, 2020October 7, 2020Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

The United States’ military is evolving towards a new way of warfare designed to counter adversaries’ efforts to develop a dominant anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capability. This new approach focuses on the proliferation of land units and  air, sea and space platforms employing rapid maneuver, long-range fires, and non-traditional effects such as electronic and cyber warfare to confuse, degrade and eventually disintegrate opposing forces. The pace and intensity of combat will be greater than ever before. This means that U.S. forces will need to see more, act sooner, and transmit target quality data in near real-time from any sensor to an appropriate shooter. The only way of doing this is by establishing a distributed, ubiquitous capability for 24/7 sensing across the theater. I have written more about efforts to proliferate U.S. and allied sensors in the region and to tie them together with advanced networks and analytic systems here.
