6. Advances in computing speeds and capacity will change how
technology affects the OODA loop [Observe, Orient, Decide and
Act]. Today the role of technology is changing from supporting to
fully participating with humans in each step of the process. In 2047
technology will be able to reduce the time to complete the OODA
loop to micro or nano- seconds. Much like a chess master can
outperform proficient chess players, UAS will be able to react at
these speeds and therefore this loop moves toward becoming a
“perceive and act” vector. Increasingly humans will no longer be “in
the loop” but rather “on the loop” – monitoring the execution of
certain decisions. Simultaneously, advances in AI will enable
systems to make combat decisions and act within legal and policy
constraints without necessarily requiring human input (41).
