Modeling Rapidly Composable, Heterogeneous, and Fractionated Forces: Findings on Mosaic Warfare from an Agent-Based Model

By Timothy R. Gulden

Mosaic warfare is named for the idea of creating a complex image from small pieces. This report studies Mosaic warfare and explores three dimensions of variability: (1) fractionation of capabilities from large multicapability platforms onto multiple smaller ones; (2) employment of heterogenous mixes of capabilities throughout a battlespace; and (3) rapid composition of a set of needed capabilities in a time and place to accomplish a mission.
