Network-centric warfare, also called network-centric operations or net-centric warfare, is a military doctrine or theory of war that aims to translate an information advantage, enabled partly by information technology, into a competitive advantage through the computer networking of dispersed forces. It was pioneered by the United States Department of Defense.
Understanding Information Age Warfare: Network-centric warfare was followed in 2001 by Understanding Information Age Warfare (UIAW), jointly authored by Alberts, Garstka, Richard Hayes of Evidence Based Research and David A. Signori of RAND. UIAW pushed the implications of the shifts identified by network-centric warfare in order to derive an operational theory of warfare.
Starting with a series of premises on how the environment is sensed, UIAW describes three domains. The first is a physical domain, where events take place and are perceived by sensors and people. Data emerging from the physical domain is transmitted through an information domain. It is processed in a cognitive domain before being acted upon.
The process is similar to a "observe, orient, decide, act" loop described by Col. John Boyd of the USAF.
The US Department of Defense’s Project Maven is the epicenter of American AI military efforts. This initiative uses machine learning to identify personnel and equipment, streamlining a process once painstakingly carried out by human analysts. The Maven Smart System fuses various data sources – satellite imagery, geolocation data, and communications intercepts – into a unified interface for battlefield analysis.
Rumble Viral showcases this unbelievable collection of some very clever and bright dogs that will definitely leave you left for words. Watch this compilation and try to pick one favorite!
Teaching our dogs some basic commands can be a lifesaver. You start with the usual command of sit, stay, heel, down, but when the dog masters the simple commands, you can start with tricks, like roll over, high five, play dead and so on.
These dogs have taken learning tricks to a stellar level! With some perseverance and a lot of training, you too can teach your dog to play the piano, fetch you a beer or do some acrobatics.
This German Shepherd has some serious talent. Watch her turn on the piano by using her nose to push the button and starting to play with her back straight and paws on keyboard, obeying owner’s command. It is amazing that every time she makes a mistake by pushing the wrong key, she covers her nose with her paw, blushing with embarrassment. She then takes a bow and waits for our applause!
Little Corgi mastered one adorable strategy to avoid going outside. Everytime owner suggests going outside, approaching the dog with a leash, the dog lies on the ground and refuses to move. The next time owner tries to put on a leash, Corgi put its all four paws in the air, surrendering to her owner.
This Golden Retriever puppy outsmarts his older brother by crawling underneath the table, leaving the adult dog running in circles around the table, and having his younger pal outrun him every time! The little pup found a shortcut to beat his older brother!
This clever dog is well-trained to fetch a beer! Watch him go through the doggy door and inside the house just to get his owner a bottle of beer and quench his thirst! Footage shows the dog opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle, all by himself! Good boy!
By now we have probably proven just how clever dogs can be. They can play the piano, avoid going outside by basically playing dead, find all the different nooks and crevices around the house in order to avoid getting caught by their older brother. What we are really fascinated by are the way they get around with fetching stuff like bottles of beer! This one clever god, for example, fetches beer from fridge and even remembers to close the door afterwards! Not only that, but the pooch makes sure not to let the door smack open with all its weight; instead, he steadies it by the chord. We are in awe!
