Future conflicts may begin with homeland cyber-attacks. The US Army advocates AI-enabled mission command, data-centric operations, integrated cyber-electronic-warfare training, and division-level experimentation to achieve decision dominance and operational resilience.Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the implications of a “cyber-first” threat environment for Australian defence, force posture, and contingency planning.
- Analyse how AI-driven mission command and data-as-an-asset approaches support faster decision cycles and improved cyber situational awareness.
- Develop training and exercise recommendations to integrate cyber and electronic warfare into contested scenarios and joint operations.
