FOX News/Warrior Maven: 'Attacking at speed': Army Project Convergence and breakthrough lightning-fast war

The exercise was a part of the Army’s Project Convergence 2020

The U.S. military recently conducted a live-fire full combat replication with unmanned-to-unmanned teaming guiding attacks, small reconnaissance drones, satellites sending target coordinates to ground artillery and high-speed, AI-enabled “networked” warfare.

    For an example try "Linebacker; The untold story of the air raids over North Vietnam. Talk about total dominance of the electronic spectrum the Russians and N. Viets used during the B-52 Raids in late 1972...this is an eye opening book
