Abstract
This thesis investigates the implementation of Decision-Centric Warfare (DCW) principles within Marine Corps Aviation to enhance decision-making processes in high-stakes environments. It explores the integration of advanced automated systems and artificial intelligence in supporting command, control, and communications crucial for operating under emission-controlled, denied, or degraded scenarios. The study emphasizes the role of human-machine teaming and the critical application of causal logic in AI systems to improve the transparency and effectiveness of decision-making. Through a detailed analysis of vignettes reflecting current and future operational capabilities, the research identifies key strategies for maintaining decision superiority against adversaries by leveraging technology to expedite and enhance operational planning and execution. This work contributes to the broader military objective of achieving a decision advantage in dynamic and contested operational contexts, aligning with the goals of Force Design 2030 and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations.
