At its core, \u2018fifth generation\u2019 is all about ideas, about how we conceive of waging tomorrow\u2019s wars\u2014and preparing for them. It encompasses four major approaches:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Networks.<\/b>\u00a0Modern war uses extensive digital networks. Conceptually, four interconnected and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/airpower.airforce.gov.au\/Publications\/Details\/131\/Network-Centric-Warfare-A-Place-in-Our-Future.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interdependent virtual grids<\/a>\u2014information, sensing, effects and command\u2014overlie the operational theatre. The various force elements are interacting nodes on the grids that can each receive, act on and pass forward data.<\/li>\n<li><b>Combat cloud.<\/b>\u00a0Working together, the grids can form a<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sldinfo.com\/the-next-phase-of-air-power-crafting-and-enabling-the-aerospace-combat-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0virtual combat cloud<\/a>\u2014akin to commercial cloud computing\u2014that allows users to pull and add data as necessary. The result is longer-range tactical engagements.

The oldest is network-centric warfare, dating from the mid-1990s; the others have become increasingly prominent over the last several years. The progression highlights that commercial information technology has often led military developments in the fifth generation.
