Dr. William F. Bundy
Associate Provost for Warfighting Research and Development
U.S. Naval War College, Newport Rhode Island
ABSTRACT: Byron Reese offers a description of our entry into the Fourth Age of Technological Evolution. That social evolution is driven by the increasing adoption of smart robots, “thinking” computers and a society that has come to depend on and demand ever improving technologies. The accelerating adoption of technology is causing multiple revolutions in social, business and military affairs. According to Reese, “Technology has changed the face of warfare dozens of times in the past few thousand years…Robots and AI will change it again”.
In our seminar, we ask ourselves how will the defense establishment deliver sensors, control systems and weapons that are evolving on an accelerating basis. How will warfighters keep pace with “smarter – thinking” systems that communicate in natural language and hold deeper knowledge sets than human operators. Rather than years of development and testing, evolving systems and components are delivered to warfighters in “Amazon” speed, inserted in standard slots and launchers with “quick start” instructions, intuitive controls and natural language operation. Imagine receiving your new fire control processor in a box with a link to online installation instructions. Impossible. Well, we adopted online banking without formal training and operate smarter cars with voice commands. Imagine commanding ship or fleet operations from a command center where battle management displays, video images and decision makers are informed by augmented reality and recommendations provided by – OSCAR, the voice of the battle management system. We’ll explore the art of the possible with a view toward warfare in the Fourth Age.
BIO: Dr. Bundy served in the Navy for more than 30 years prior to returning to the Naval War College as a Center for Naval Warfare Studies (CNWS) faculty member. He has led warfighting concept development and advanced research projects that have been deployed in the Fleet and the Joint Force. Dr. Bundy created the initial concept of operations for Navy Ballistic Missile Defense, warfighting concepts for the Ohio Class Guided Missile Submarine and recently contributed to introduction of Distributed Lethality in the Navy. He has mentored more than 330 war college graduate research students.
