DARPA Tiles Together a Vision of Mosaic Warfare

Banking on cost-effective complexity to overwhelm adversaries

The concept is called “Mosaic Warfare.” Like the ceramic tiles in mosaics, these individual warfighting platforms are put together to make a larger picture, or in this case, a force package.

The idea will be to send so many weapon and sensor platforms at the enemy that its forces are overwhelmed. The goal is to take complexity and to turn that into an asymmetric advantage, said Burns, who retired this past May [2018] as director of DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office (STO), handing the leadership baton off to Timothy Grayson.

David A. Deptula Introduction

David A. Deptula is the Dean of the Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Power Studies.[1] He transitioned from the U.S. Air Force in 2010 at the rank of Lieutenant General after more than 34 years of service. General Deptula was commissioned in 1974 as a distinguished graduate from The University of Virginia Air Force ROTC program, and remained to complete a master's degree in 1976. During his military career he took part in operations, planning, and joint warfighting at unit, major command, service headquarters and combatant command levels,[2] and also served on two congressional commissions[3][4] outlining America’s future defense posture.[5][6] He was a principal author of the original Air Force White Paper "Global Reach—Global Power."[7][8] In the early 1990s he was instrumental in the formation and development of the concept later known as "effects-based operations," having successfully applied it in building the attack plans for the Operation Desert Storm air campaign.[9][10][11][12] He has been cited as having "... fostered the most significant change in the conduct of aerial warfare since Billy Mitchell...Deptula’s framework influenced the successful air campaigns in Operations Allied Force, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom. Today, joint targeting cells and Air Force doctrine reflect Deptula's theory of airpower and the changing nature of warfare."
