Kill that Strawman!
…the venerable Observe Orient Decide Act (OODA) loop is no longer viable for an information-age military.
That sums up why I find so much of net-centric theory to be irrelevent. Throwing out wheels and replacing them with sleds.
I’m too frustrated to spend a Friday afternoon fully explicating why the Deep Green account of the OODA loop is wrong. In brief, it ignores the implicit guidance and control aspects (as Dr. Richards has pointed out, they are truly the most powerful part of the OODA model) and reduces OODA to a sequential step process.
“Throwing out wheels and replacing them with sleds”
Brilliant line. And a highly accurate analogy.
