The Army Training & Doctrine Command published a document titled, "Battlefield Framework", earlier this year. It restructures how and when the United States Army is going to engage in war. This document breaks down war into five different domains. Each of these has an effect on the others. Each domain contains rules for ground troops and air interaction. These rules include tactical LANs, RF and EM emission use. This framework allows for the use of both a home base or enemy territory.
ATACMS missiles were used by the Army to pound enemy reinforcements during the war in Iraq. This technology helped to win two wars against Saddam Hussein. This technology also allowed for the development of attack helicopters. In order to destroy enemy posts, the Army used long range artillery.
Recent skirmishes between the United States and China have shown that it is able to use the most current technologies to defeat its foes. These technologies include long-range artillery, drones, and ATACMS satellites. The Army still needs to improve the ability to use these technology in battle. These technologies also raise new legal and political issues.
This new technology includes the use of autonomous-armed robots. These robots will be deployed in infantry combat roles by 2025. They will range in size from a small unit to a 23-foot robotic helicopter. The technology can also operate autonomously, but it will still need to communicate with other UAVs within a swarm.
This new technology also allows you to capture the combat experience. YouTube was home to more than 7,000 combat video clips from the Iraq war. These clips were captured by drones and unmanned sensors. This technology was also used for the Russian invasions of Crimea in 2014
This technology's most important feature is its ability to instantly share information and cyber operations among ground troops and their allies. The Army is currently creating a multidomain network to accomplish exactly that. Multi-Domain Battle is the name of this system. It will connect ground troops and aircraft on the fly. The system will also integrate additional technologies, such sensors networks and communications network, to offer ground troops the best possible experience.
The Army is preparing to integrate more drones into its brigades. These drones are used for everything from reconnaissance and strategic bombing. The Army will be equipped with more drones than its manned vehicles. The number of drones in the Army is expected to increase by more than 100 over the next five years. Future plans call for more than half the Army's brigades to have unmanned aviation. This means that no squad will have access the Joint Strike Fighter. UAVs are as important to the United States Air Force these days as fighter jets.
