VADM Mike Gilday, U.S. Navy Tenth Fleet*
“The way we view the environment now is in the domains of space, cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum all merged together. And that invisible battlespace is an area that we have to optimize to win in the future.”
“If we’re not organized correctly to take advantage of all the information out there in an integrated fashion, we’re not going to be able to make decisions faster than the adversary.”
* C4ISRnet interview, 8 Feb 2018

Necessary architecture to prevail in conflict Align under an integrating concept rather than rigid network reqts
Netted platforms and sensors
Independent of physical boundaries
“Comms as a service” approach [experience of U.S. telecoms in 1980’s]
Open architecture – define that…
Common, flexible standards
Aggregate/disaggregate; ability to self-form
Cross-domain solutions; four-channel encryption
INTEGRATED, INFORMATIONIZED SYSTEMS
12It’s not about advanced aircraft anymore
THE 5TH GENERATION FIGHT
Overwhelm the adversary using KILL WEBS
We can no longer DOMINATE in any domain.
Local and temporal [pick a domain] SUPERIORITY
High Tempo, Multi-Dimensional Warfare
How is the 5th Generation Fight different?
Networks not just Platforms; Reach not just Range; Information is the Coin of
the Realm
Training for expanded Battlespace is key to success [Think “Ender’s Game”]
LVC – Reps and Sets at the high end
Accelerate Observe – Orient phases in OODA Loop
Man-Machine teaming
Netted capabilities enable greater speed of decision
Create DECISION SUPERIORITY
Operate inside a Kill Web
