Pentagon Working on Radical New Fighting Style: Mosaic Warfare
Their novel vision for warfare isn’t about making bigger, faster, or even higher-tech kits. It’s about getting numerous smaller, cheaper, perhaps lower-tech systems and deploying them in a radically new way. The official term is mosaic warfare, but some strategists liken it to Lego. "Like Lego blocks that nearly universally fit together, mosaic forces can be composed together in a way to create packages that can effectively target an adversary’s system with just-enough overmatch to succeed," according to a Mitchell Institute study (pdf), released in September 2019. Mosaic warfare is the solution of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to China’s growing military prowess. China’s generals have honed their military to cripple the U.S. military’s brain and nervous system‐a strategy known as systems destruction warfare. They have also invested heavily in long-range missile systems and anti-aircraft systems that threaten U.S. carriers and jets. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-01-31 |
