Against Russia and China
The United States regards Russia as an enemy no less, than the Soviet Union during the Cold War. To do this, it was necessary to pass almost 24 of the year: in September 2014 years, the Americans born the long-term "Third Compensation Strategy". The first strategy was President Eisenhower’s “New Look”, dating from the mid 50s. According to this plan, it was necessary to pacify the nuclear weapon of the USSR that got after the USA, increasing the offensive potential of the country. Concept actually failed: failed to intimidate the Soviet Union, nor contain the proliferation of nuclear weapons. When everything calmed down with nuclear weapons and the realization of the futility of further arms buildup came, it's time for Defense Secretary Brown’s “Reimbursement Strategy”. The essence of the second strategy was to create smart high-tech weapons, capable of leveling the mass superiority of conventional arms of the USSR. Across the ocean, sought to qualitatively surpass the Soviet gunsmiths - hence the technology "stealth", precision weapons, command and control networks and much more. It turned out better here: Warsaw block, and after him the Soviet Union fell apart, what calmed American militarism for a while. by the way, for the first time, in full glory, the results of the "Compensation Strategy" Americans were able to demonstrate only after a significant weakening of the main enemy - in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm. A little later, this was repeated in Yugoslavia.

Over time, it became clear, that at the beginning of the XXI century with precision weapons you won’t surprise anyone and the hour is uneven. The USA itself may be hit by new "stealth" and cruise missiles. Even “backward” and “defeated” Russia quite effectively uses its “Caliber” for its intended purpose in the world theater of war. Therefore, the Pentagon theorists and practitioners have put forward a new type of world order in the scenario of the Third Compensatory Strategy.. Here again, the stake is on high technology, available only to States and partners. At the forefront are the naval forces and aviation as the trump cards of the American army, as well as a gradual decrease in dependence on advanced land and sea bases. The Americans plan to shift the confrontation with Russia and China in those areas, where the country has the greatest benefits, for example, in the submarine fleet. it, by design, should force opponents to spend large resources on closing the gap, distracting from other areas of weapons. The Pentagon also does not forget about saving - some areas of the strategy will be implemented on the territory of the partner countries for NATO and “addiction”. Finally, the main component will be drones of various classes, united around the world information management network. properly, they will bear the main burden in neutralizing threats of small and medium level. More serious targets will be hit by B-2 aircraft, LRS-B, ballistic and hypersonic missiles, launched from submarines.
Have a strategy, in fact, obsessed with drone and network-centricity, even in the USA there are critics. So, Van Jackson of the New American Security Center believes, what

“In general, this is characteristic of US military culture - strive to, to build a whole strategy from one single technology ”.
The Pentagon does not teach the story of the actual failure of the first "nuclear" strategy, based on a single technology. And the second strategy of qualitative superiority in the USSR was successful only because, that the world’s opponent simply disappeared from the field of opposition. Therefore the question, how much time can the USA be in such a framework to be a world leader, remains open. However, all this does not reject close attention., which are attracted by american war toys.
World leader for the third time in a row
"Fog of war", or incomplete situational awareness of the nature of hostilities at all management levels, keeps the Pentagon awake from the time of the Vietnam war. To solve this difficult task, special emphasis is placed on the information component of a new type of war., which tools have become the military Internet of things, cloud storage, numerous drones and space communications system. The main connecting component can be the global information network DoDIN - Departament of Defense Information Network. This is a multi-level integrated system, providing continuous exchange and processing of information in the interests of end users - from the highest military command to tactical officers. At its disposal are all Pentagon-owned and leased commercial communication channels., computers, software shells, cybersecurity databases and tools.
Storage and processing of the received information becomes one of the primary tasks of planning the future work of the Pentagon. Here, obviously, the military came to use cloud technology, which are successfully used in the civilian sector. Storage of data and software applications in this case is supposed to be on geographically distributed and remote servers. Cloud Storage, as is known, has a lot of advantages: not the highest requirements for software, almost unlimited amounts of stored information, high security, low operating and maintenance costs, as well as high speed access from anywhere in the world. Of course, if the information store does not have a single “think tank”, then it will not be easy to destroy it - there will always be several remote servers, duplicate data. As part of the DoD Cloud Computing Strategy "Cloud Computing Strategy," the US Department of Defense 2019 signed a contract for 10 billion. dollars with Microsoft for software development. The software received as part of the defense order will allow the US military to access information resources from anywhere in the world in real time. Last year, the Navy transferred a part of planning tools to the “cloud” service - earlier they were located in unified data processing centers. Users of this service have already become at least 64% US Navy warships.
A local project within the framework of the strategy is the MIDS program, aimed at developing a single Link terminal 16 for communication between aircraft of NATO countries. Air Force tie up Fou 22 and F-35 to Missouri, and space tracking and the U-2 reconnaissance are integrated by the Iguana terminal.
Pentagon's new information structure will be ready no earlier 2025 of the year, and it must ensure full intelligence compatibility, management, communications and weapons at a qualitatively new level. Only then, as conceived by the military, the fog of war will finally shatter and remote interaction of the command staff will be improved, headquarters and command posts.

The Pentagon does not forget about artificial intelligence, который в рамках «Третьей компенсационной стратегии» реализуется во «Всемирной интегрированной системой раннего предупреждения конфликтов» World Improving Conflict Early Warning Systems, W-ICEWS. In full accordance with the rule, that the best fight is that, which was prevented, Lockheed Martin builds W-ICEWS news and intelligence data collection system around the world, which based on more 80 models of the development of military conflicts evaluates and predicts the military-political situation. The work algorithm is based on the analysis of the order 30 million. various posts: data visualization in a user-friendly format in the form of tables, kart, graphs and detailed monitoring of social networks and blogs. In the latter case, artificial intelligence monitors the reaction of various segments of the population to events of global and regional importance that are important from its point of view. Other software generates news texts for the Pentagon, integrates targeted advertising in social networks, то есть занимается полноценной манипуляцией общественного сознания. W-ICEWS отслеживает реакцию пользователей на такие вбросы.

Besides, US military integrates the beginnings of artificial intelligence in land technology and aviation. No, so far about fully autonomous drones, self-decision makers, it is not. New systems are designed to assess the risks of failure of complex equipment based on the analysis of data from multiple sensors. So, during the tests, artificial intelligence urged to replace one of the Boeing engines over the next 40 hours, which is significantly ahead of the MTBF. The "smart" algorithm was believed, dismantled the engine and found damage to the turbine blade, which could lead to a serious accident. they say, saved as a result 50 million. dollars.

With the help of artificial intelligence, the Pentagon also intends to master the management of swarms of unmanned ships and aircraft. AT 2016 the fleet completed tests of coast guard boats, who independently learned to patrol a square with an area 16 quarter. miles in the Chesapeake Bay and intercept intruders. by the way, именно с флотом у американцев связаны большие надежды на полноценную реализацию «Третьей стратегии».
«Призрачный флот»
Три года назад Пентагоном принята концепция Ghost Fleet («Призрачный флот»), which should saturate the US Navy synchronously operating on water, under water and over water by drones. Большие и средние плавающие ударные дроны будут рассредоточены по всей акватории боевых действий, при этом находясь в постоянном взаимодействии со всей военной инфраструктурой. В итоге противнику будет гораздо сложнее найти подходящую цель для первого обезоруживающего удара – сейчас для этого неплохо подходят американские авианосные группировки. Besides, drones will be the first victims in the wars of the future - it is this technique that the fleet will push to the forefront. Sea Hunter surface drones became the first signs, adopted by the U.S. Navy. They are capable of 70-day autonomous transitions with a range of up to 19 thousand. kilometers at an average speed of 12 knots. Under the water, over time, they plan to produce a 50-meter submarine XLUUV - Extra Large Unmanned Vehicle, or Orca ("Killer whale"), which in quantity 4 copies have already been ordered from Boeing. This is a multifunctional crewless submarine., capable of carrying up 12 torpedoes and almost independently navigate the ocean. Range will be more 12 thousand. kilometers. A group of such "Killer Whales" in conjunction with a swarm of Sea Hunter should, according to Pentagon analysts, completely nullify the secrecy of the Russian submarine fleet.

“Third Compensation Strategy”, certainly, not described completely in the framework of this material - the Americans started and are implementing a large-scale and interesting program to maintain their own world leadership. it, certainly, should find a response in the military departments of Russia and China as potential goals of the third “American military revolution”.
