DSH/Warcoded Kill Chains and Algorithmic Warfare – Autonomy in Targeting and Engagement (Ep. 282)

In this gripping follow-up, we dive into how AI is transforming kinetic operations—from identifying a threat to executing a strike.

🔍 Highlights from this episode:

• How AI compresses the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act)

• The spectrum of autonomy: human-on-the-loop vs. human-out-of-the-loop

• Real-world systems like loitering munitions (Switchblade, Harpy) and Selective Ground Response AI (SGR-AI)

• The ethical and legal dimensions of delegating lethal decisions to machines

As the lines blur between algorithm and operator, we explore who—or what—is pulling the trigger.
