Dr Timothy Grayson illustrates DARPA’s concept of Mosaic Warfare, in which individual warfighting platforms are placed together to make a larger picture.

In this Bullaki Science Podcast episode hosted by Dr Samuele Lilliu, Dr Timothy Grayson illustrates DARPA’s concept of Mosaic Warfare, in which individual warfighting platforms, just like ceramic tiles in a mosaic, are placed together to make a larger picture.

As the director of the Strategic Technology Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (or DARPA), Timothy leads the office in development of breakthrough technologies to enable war fighters to field, operate, and adapt distributed, joint, multi-domain combat capabilities at continuous speed. He is also founder and president of Fortitude Mission Research LLC and spent several years as a senior intelligence officer with the CIA.

The Mosaic Warfare philosophy can be applied to tackle a variety of human challenges including natural disasters, disruption of supply chains, climate change, pandemics, etc. He also discusses why super AI won’t represent an existential threat in the foreseeable future, but rather an opportunity for an effective division of labour between humans and machines (or human-machine symbiosis).

This video production was also published in our peer-reviewed video journal Scientific Video Protocols and in Forbes.
