Military kinetic overmatch is underpinned by synergizing weapon systems across intelligence, artillery, C2 systems, etc at speeds faster than the enemy...aka, the OODA loop. In an AI / Automated era, the only way to ensure success, is to ensure decision-makers are confident in the data they are receiving. To modernize these efforts faster than the enemy the US must securely move in ways that are not network centric, but data centric…and the only way to do that is through a modern Zero Trust Architecture.
