ABSTRACT:

The evolution of human-machine interaction has moved from User Experience (UX), focused on reactive, user-driven interfaces to Agentic Experience (AX), where autonomous AI agents act proactively, collaboratively, and dynamically based on high-level human intent.

In Special Operations Forces (SOF) contexts, AX offers the potential to: – Reduce cognitive load on operators; – Compress the OODA loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act); – Enhance decision superiority in uncertain, time-critical, and resource-constrained environments – Integrate multi-source ISR data to generate dynamic courses of action (COAs).

Challenges include maintaining meaningful human control, ensuring trust and explainability, addressing cyber vulnerabilities, and updating doctrine and training. Early adoption of AX represents a potential asymmetric force multiplier for SOF.
