Optimizing Joint IPOE in the Baltics

Developing a quasi-AI, or advanced pattern recognition program (APRP) processes and associated technologies for the ISR realm could herald the 3rd Offset. A spirally developed open-architecture minded collection of APRPs communicating and generating targets IAW CCIRs and geographically relevant EOB could lift the fog of war for the U.S. and her allies. The process does not aim to replace humans-in-the-loop, but instead filter high volume data to increase chances or target generation to give CCDRs real-time options to maneuver against. The layout process highlights the augmentation to current practices with ways forward while calling for specific requirements. Barriers are also highlighted and drive the pragmatic approach and specificity of the model. The end game result would be to fuse data faster than operators can today. This should enable increased strategic, operational, and tactical objectives met for friendly forces. If executed ahead of peers and protected properly, this could buy the U.S. and her allies deterrence from peer threats via lightning-fast proportional and surgical strikes with the current conventional munitions we have today. He who knows where to strike first, will likely land the blow that counts.
