The Potential of Cognitive Artificial Intelligence for Mission-Oriented Military Decision-Making

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are rapidly evolving and have already had a significant impact on military capabilities, enabling the deployment of new types of assets and tactics. At the same time, there is a need to explore how AI can help commanders make faster and possibly more accurate decisions. The topic of this publication was the exploration of the potential of cognitive AI for mission-oriented command and control. NATO uses the original, well-established term Mission Command in its doctrines, instead of which the author has used the term mission-oriented command method, which is identical in content to the one used in this article.
