La rapidité du traitement de données, clé des combats aériens futurs

Le Figaro a recueilli les propos du général Lavigne, chef d'état-major de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (CEMAAE), récemment nommé commandant suprême «Transformation» de l'OTAN, ainsi que du général Brown, chef d'état-major de l'US Air Force. Les deux généraux ont confié leur vision du futur des conflits armés, qui implique « rapidité » et « imbrication » accrues. Que ce soit dans des zones soumises à un « déni d'accès » compte tenu de l'étendue des défenses sol-air, ou dans un conflit de « haute intensité », l'aviation « aura toujours un rôle clé à jouer », insiste le général Lavigne. « Nous devons être prêts individuellement, technologiquement supérieurs et certains d'aller plus vite que nos adversaires», ajoute-t-il, avant d'indiquer: « nous devons travailler notre boucle OODA (Observer, Orienter, Décider, Agir) ». En compressant toujours plus les quatre temps de la tactique militaire, les armées occidentales ont progressivement acquis une supériorité sur leurs adversaires. Mais dans des armées toujours plus technologiques, l'enjeu se complexifie. « Nous devons gérer les données plus rapidement », souligne le général Lavigne.

    Digital Modernization to Benefit Warfighters, DOD CIO Says

    BY DAVID VERGUN Information technology is the backbone of today's modern battlefield and even more important in a constantly evolving security climate. That's why digital modernization is more important than ever. To usher in digital modernization, the DOD chief information officer has launched its first Digital Modernization Strategy, underpinned by four modernization pillars: cloud; artificial intelligence; command, control and communications, known as C3; and cybersecurity. First, DOD Chief Information Officer Dana Deasy said, an enterprise cloud will be created that will enable information sharing across the entire military and most importantly, to the warfighters on the tactical edge. Also, the enterprise cloud will deliver the next generation of applications that the warfighters will need to succeed. Second, for the enterprise cloud to effectively and efficiently enable information sharing on a vast scale, it will be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. To develop and deliver AI to the enterprise cloud, DOD needed to create the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, known as the JAIC, Deasy said. The JAIC "will be used by all the services, which will be the way in which we start to create new AI solutions at scale – that can be used across the department," he added. Third, is the ability to communicate to the warfighter with C3, Deasy said, which is "how do we ensure that we can get the end results from our cloud, from our AI solutions out to the tactical edge, out to the warfighter." Fourth, to prevent the department's technology from being compromised, it must be protected by defensive and offensive cyber capability, he said, noting that the Defense Department must be resilient when dealing with inevitable attacks from adversaries. "The Digital Modernization Strategy is all about the warfighter," Deasy said. "In everything we're building we're always challenging ourselves and asking: Are we doing this in the most thoughtful way that's going to enable the warfighter to be successful?" https://www.defense.gov/explore/story/Article/1903843/digital-modernization-to-benefit-warfighters-dod-cio-says/
