PETER LAYTON<\/a>\u00a0|<\/p>\n

For the Australian Defence Force\u2019s\u00a0Army<\/a>,\u00a0Navy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Air Force<\/a>\u00a0Chiefs, the future is \u2018fifth generation.\u2019 That being so, I recently wrote\u00a0a paper on fifth generation air warfare\u00a0<\/a>which, while using air force issues to explain some aspects, has relevance more broadly particularly to the concepts being explored on the Over-The-Horizon blog.<\/p>\n

There will probably be some \u2013 like me \u2013 who are inherently wary of those who fragment the history of warfare into various periods, eras, or epochs. The \u2018fifth generation\u2019 expression, though, is not some part of a considered historical analysis. Instead, originating as a company marketing slogan, the expression has evolved into a useful, catchall term \u2013 a simple buzzword \u2013 encompassing several concepts important for how future wars might be waged.<\/p>\n

Fifth generation war fighting ideas go back more than two decades. In the 1990s, military thinkers seized upon developments in commercial information technology, applied them to military operational concepts and then popularized the term \u2018Network-Centric Warfare.\u2019 By 1999, Joint Staff J-6 information briefings were asserting that: \u201cthe primary mechanism for generating increased combat power in 2010 will be networks of sensors, command and control, and shooters.\u201d Today\u2019s fifth generation air warfare concepts incorporate four generic elements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Networks<\/li>\n
  2. Combat Cloud<\/li>\n
  3. Multi-Domain Battle<\/li>\n
  4. Fusion warfare<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fifth generation air warfare offers much, but its practical implementation is not easy. Considerable effort is required to create decision-quality data and then establish the robust connectivity needed to support combat cloud, multi-domain battle, and fusion warfare concepts. Fifth generation air warfare is a very complicated way of war that requires substantial focused preparation being undertaken before a conflict and significant dedicated support during it. Success in fifth generation air warfare is hard won.<\/p>\n
