The Army Has a New Way to Take on Russia or China in a Ground Fight


And its pretty slick.

“Our recent conflicts against less sophisticated threats allowed for more open-hatch operations. A commander would be up out of the hatch using his own senses. Operations against a near-peer using artillery, drones and other sophisticated weapons would likely be more closed-hatched operations. This technology will enable him to have more capability in closed-hatched scenarios,” Klager said.

The Army is testing emerging next-generation ground combat vehicle sensors using computer algorithms and artificial intelligence to identify, target and destroy enemy tanks, drones and incoming fire, service officials said.

Only one fallacy in this technology  approach, that is communications. All of the off board sensor data will have to be communicated back to the vehicle and others. Processed data will have to be shared between vehicles and the unit commanders up and down the chain. Now anyone with knowledge of Rushky or Chicom threats know that they have formidable communications disruption capabilities (jamming and what not). The frequency hoping radios the military uses today are not immune to their capabilities.
