North Korea launches a missile, and U.S. Forces Korea and Indo-Pacific Command initially manage command and control of the situation. So begins a hypothetical scenario raised by a former Air Force chief of staff.
“Now let’s say that that missile is … going into space, we think it’s going to hit a satellite, now [Space Command] has C2,” Greg Little, senior counselor at Palantir, said at the National Defense Industrial Association’s recent Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition. “Now we don’t think it’s going to hit a satellite, it’s going back towards Japan,” Indopacom takes charge again, but “then as it’s actually heading, we think, into California,” Northern Command takes control of the situation, as imagined by retired Gen. David Goldfein.
“Now imagine thousands of missiles, hundreds of ships, hundreds of tanks, not only in the Pacific but in the Middle East and Europe … and then imagine actually managing that in an integrated way in an era of great power competition,” Little continued. “The only way to do that is to leverage digital technologies” such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing and analytics.
