the parent is a dramatic simplification, but yeah kinda starcraft-ish.

seeing where everything is, identifying whats a friend and not, and being able to react and move quickly.

automation and battle language and interfaces, etc.

a cursory academic overview: https://netlab.gmu.edu/pubs/10F-SIW-058.pdf

essentially, the interface discussed in the pdf is automated on the backend via AI, various JBOSS functions, etc.

the other piece is automated target recognition via arial and satellite images. imagery analysis has been a thing since WWI and with satellites you can get visibility to the point you can see license plates at the correct angle. scanning that level of detail 24/7 is very hard... but not with strong AI tools...
