Abstract
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) intends to wage systems confrontation and system destruction warfare. “System-of-systems thinking drives how the PLA understands and seeks to win modern warfare … and to achieve integrated joint operations and ‘win informationized local wars’.”1 This paper seeks to raise the odds that the PLA overspends in their pursuit and fails to achieve their objectives by increasing the focus on the role cyber analytics plays in winning system-of-systems warfare, what former Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work described as algorithmic warfare.2
