Gen. Michael Groen said at <a href=\"https:\/\/c4isrconf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the C4ISRNET Conference<\/a>, adding that were this situation viewed through the standard Cold War lens, \u201cyou\u2019d look at massive steel and massive firepower. Now, you can see the impact of precision capabilities, the information environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can see the shadows of a change in the nature, or at least in the application, of warfare here in this information age,\u201d he said April 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian forces, though better-equipped and specialized, have been stymied by an entrenched Ukrainian military, Western arms and logistical collapse. Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s hope of squashing an outgunned opponent and quickly seizing key areas has fizzled. The invasion will soon enter its third month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/02\/25\/us-prepared-to-respond-to-russian-cyberattacks-says-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Biden<\/a> described Ukraine\u2019s bloody win in Kyiv, its own capital region, as \u201ca historic victory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou must be amazed at the courage of this country, the resolve that they\u2019re showing,\u201d he said during a White House speech on April 21. \u201cNot just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/04\/21\/biden-pledges-800-million-in-new-aid-to-ukraine-will-ask-congress-for-more\/\" target=\"_blank\">their military<\/a>, but the average citizen, men and women, young men, young women, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions that need asking and topics that need addressing across the U.S. Department of Defense, Groen said, include \u201cthe transformation of the character of warfare in an information age\u201d and what that means for capabilities being developed or gear that is purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo large objects \u2014 maybe they got lots of steel, maybe they throw lots of metal at the enemy. Is that better? I mean, that\u2019s what we\u2019re used to,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/video\/2022\/04\/20\/keynote-lt-gen-michael-groen\/\" target=\"_blank\">the director said<\/a>. \u201cIs that the capability that\u2019s going to make us successful in tomorrow\u2019s fight?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the U.S. and Russia have funded and pursued cutting-edge tech, like AI for fighting purposes, and have armed themselves with impressive digital arsenals. Groen acknowledged that Wednesday: \u201cThe competition is what drives us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where Russia has fallen short is fundamental coordination, a failure to ingrain information sharing in \u201cthe core of its operational concepts and into its command-and-control architecture,\u201d according to Chris Dougherty, a senior fellow for the defense program at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnas.org\/people\/chris-dougherty\" target=\"_blank\">Center for a New American Security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou know, the Russians have a lot of weaponry. It\u2019s still pretty good. And by any reasonable metric, they vastly outnumber and outclass the Ukrainians in most ways, but they can\u2019t bring it to bear because they can\u2019t share information with each other and trust each other,\u201d Dougherty said at the virtual conference. \u201cAnd I think that is the key here, when we\u2019re looking at what\u2019s the lesson learned. We\u2019ve got to be able to share information with each other. We\u2019ve got to trust each other, and we\u2019ve got to trust in the information that we\u2019re sharing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groen said he is eager to learn lessons and glean information to give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/04\/15\/us-and-india-launch-talks-about-military-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Defense Department<\/a> and the U.S., broadly, an advantage, especially against an informed, large-scale foe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI guess if you ask the Russians right now, should you buy more tanks or should you buy precision munitions and the information environment that allows you to apply those effectively, the Russians might give you a different answer today than they would have given you two months ago,\u201d Groen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions that need asking and topics that need addressing across the Department of Defense, Lt.
