Experimenting with the Mosaic Warfare Concept

Mosaic warfare is a warfighting theory suggesting that a force made up of a larger number and variety of agile, fluid and scalable weaponry, sensors and platforms is more effective and resilient than a force developed following system of systems approach. Each member of a mosaic force is as distinct as the tiles in a mosaic. They can decide and act based on local situational awareness. This can have an overpowering advantage as compared to going head-to-head against the enemy's similar weapons and platforms. Mosaic warfare increases the speed of decision-making and can enable commanders to mount more simultaneous actions which creates additional complexity to the decision-making of the opposing forces. The enabling technologies for the mosaic warfare concept are investigated, the experimentation environment for testing the concept is created, the preliminary discovery experiments are conducted and the results from these experiments are presented.
