I'm not affiliated with The Chieftain, but I do appreciate and enjoy his content. <br /><br />Increased automation, eh? It sounds like the Army is behind the Navy on this one. I'd heard, recently, that the Navy found that increased automation had decreased the overall survivability of their ships. When you stop and think--really think--about the realities of warfare, you'll realize why they came to the conclusion they did. <br /><br />First, consider the following: even at the best of times, automated systems tend to be very finicky. What do you suppose happens when those systems get damaged in combat? Remember, war is the absolute worst place for equipment; it's actual destruction of men and materiel, no matter how the warhawks try to sanitize and justify it in the lamestream media. War machines are complicated things. The more complex any given piece of hardware is, the more points of possible failure. In accordance with Murphy's Laws of Combat, those automated systems will fail at the worst possible time. Maybe even to the active detriment of the crew, or any nearby friendly elements.<br /><br />For instance, I've come across some rather concerning and recent rumors floating around of automated UCAVs shooting (with simulated munitions, thankfully) their own control centers because of the gamified system of points they were using in testing and training. When the drones lost points for attacking friendlies or the wrong targets, they supposedly reasoned that the most direct solution was to destroy what was depriving them of points: the control center scoring them. That's one hell of an oversight, if you ask me, and that's a huge danger. Personally, I get the distinct impression that programmers tend deprive themselves of sleep in order to meet their deadlines--and that's on top of the usual expected oversights in purely logical solutions due to presumed ethics and other careless assumptions. <br /><br />Just a bad, bad idea. <br /><br />Furthermore, the USN of World War II was only able to pull off what they did because they had excellent damage control. That meant having all the crew drilled in damage control practices. That means having enough hands, enough personnel, around to do the hard work when things inevitably broke. <br /><br />So how does that apply to a ground vehicle? The big problem is the division of labor. Let me share an aphorism I grew up with: \"many hands makes for smaller work.\" The more people there are, the easier each individual's job will be, and the faster the job will get done. How do you expect two-man crews to fix a thrown track, or to perform other vital routine maintenance? The workload would be excessive, especially in the field, even if you were to have enough protected logistical detachments following them around. Setting aside that even that would require manpower, yet another Murphy's Law of Combat dictates that you will never have enough of what you need--you'll usually have too little of something, and occasionally you'll have too much of something which isn't incoming enemy fire, yet is undesirable. <br /><br />Crew exhaustion is a thing, too. If the crew's tired, they'll underperform. Everyone has their limits, after all, and it's not something that can be calculated or predicted with any degree of reliability. If the routine operations load is too high, that can impair crew effectiveness and responsiveness, too. See: any World War II tank with less than five crew. The M3 medium gets a pass because it was a wartime stopgap measure cooked up within an insanely short period of time, so while it was close to being \"good enough\" for the time it bought, it still had its fair share of shortcomings. It's also worth remembering that the U.S. Army didn't want mechanization in the interwar years, as they expected to be focusing on defending their southern borders, where they would still rely on horses. Looking at the terrain, it's no wonder they thought this. That and their focus on, and fascination with, aviation technology all but stopped AFV development. But I digress. <br /><br />It's hard to imagine how the Army intends to rely on automation to reduce crew sizes, let alone switch over to Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicles. Our network security seems awful, as it is. It's not helped by the alphabet soup agencies and foreign governments demanding backdoor access to everything. That's setting aside the myriad issues with technology and software--such as the fact that a terrifying majority of programs apparently relies on base code being maintained and updated by a single person who is quickly reaching his twilight years--if he's not already in them. <br /><br />In short, I'm against relying on automation to the extent that a lot of people seem to want. But I'm just some shmuck on the internet.
