How computational power—or its absence—shaped World War naval battles Situational awareness before GPS and computers was a serious challenge."Network-centric warfare" is the hot concept in modern military thinking—soldiers fighting not just with weapons but within a web of sensors and computation, giving them and their commanders superior awareness of the battlefield. But the problems this approach was conceived to solve are timeless. I'm here, the enemy is out there somewhere. How do I find them? How do I keep track of them? Once the battle has started, how do I know where to move? Heck, how do I even keep track of my own people? Long before IoT concepts littered the world, the navies of the early 20th century were among the first to take a systematic approach to answering these questions. link |
