Securing America’s Decision Advantage

The future of military AI lies not in larger language models, but in collaborative networks of heterogeneous AI agents capable of executing complex tasks. This concept, termed "Agentic Warfare," aims to create a decisive advantage by dramatically speeding up the Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA) loop. Architectures for this include agentic alerting for proactive threat detection and agentic planning for simulating and validating courses of action. This approach shifts the human commander's role from being "in the loop" to "on the loop," focusing on strategy and intent while requiring rigorous testing to build trust in the systems.
