Overview:
Biotechnology and neuroscience advancements enhance human performance, cognitive resilience, and human-machine teaming effectiveness, introducing new considerations in operations and mission command.
Doctrinal Impact:
Primarily impacts Operations and Planning as well as Mission Command, including:
· Ethical integration of human performance enhancements
· Cognitive domain warfare tactics and defense
· Neuro-adaptive systems for C2 augmentation
· Implications for health services doctrine
Application in Discovery:
Discovery activities should assess:
· Human-machine interface systems for aircraft, unmanned platforms, or decision support
· Cognitive resilience programs and ethical frameworks
· Biosensing technologies for performance and health monitoring
Expected Outcomes:
Recommendations to update doctrine on human-machine teaming, cognitive warfare defenses, and integration of enhanced Airmen into operational and mission command frameworks.
