Basically, C5I encompasses everything C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) does, plus it also includes weapon systems. In China, North America, and several EU states the fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into defense strategies has already begun to transform C5I competencies with regard to the integration and processing of data in order to successfully identify hostile targets and eventually eliminate them. These countries are looking to define the next generation of C5I as a distributed network of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. This is essentially a system of systems as opposed to a solitary platform that would accomplish that function. This would comprise of a mishmash of manned and unmanned assets that would offer a related surveillance potential or an augmented surveillance capability without dependence upon a single complex platform.Read More…
