5GW And Beyond

Vaidya, Shlok. "5GW And Beyond." Shlok Vaidya's Thinking. October 9, 2006. http://www.shloky.com/?p=337 (accessed September 23, 2007).

Building off a thought published by John Robb on his personal weblog, that the destructive technologically superempowered fighter defines fifth-generation warfare, Shlok offers his reasons why this will be so while offering a glimpse at “6GW” and “7GW”:

Technological Singularity Track — 5GW marks where “the human body becomes the limitation”; 6GW will occur when humans have replaced their human body (except for brain?) with technology; and 7GW will occur “when brains are made obsolete by machines”.

OODA Loop Track — With consideration of Dan tdaxp’s xGW & OODA mapping: “The human decision cycle becomes irrelevant.” Presumably, this will apply to 7GW, previously described.
