China thinks it will be able to invade Taiwan by 2027 and has developed a technology edge in many key areas—but it is artificial intelligence that may be the decisive factor should conflict erupt, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said.
The Pentagon nuclear command, control, and communications enterprise is decades old and desperate for an upgrade, says the head of U.S. Strategic Command, and artificial intelligence could help fortify nuclear C3 for its no-fail mission.
A new mobile app developed by a team of joint service members, GigEagle is like a military version of the civilian app Taskrabbit, where users can find individuals to help put together an IKEA cabinet, move a mattress, or other temporary handy jobs. But instead ...
Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, but actual no-kidding military applications can be hard to identify. “If you have a data problem, or if you can make a problem into a data problem, it's probably a good fit for AI,” says Angela Sheffield, an internationally recognized ...
As the Air Force prepares for great power competition and a potential high-end fight with the likes of China and Russia, its training needs to keep pace, and artificial intelligence and open systems can provide a better representation of the threats and the ways the ...
Artificial intelligence could be a force multiplier in logistics and sustainment for managing Air Force systems and technology, but there's no magic wand that can sprinkle AI dust to magically modernize legacy systems, vendors said.
Angela Shefield, Director of AI Programs at SAIC, and retired Air Force Col. John "BigDogg" Rhone, SAIC's C5ISR Programs Lead, explain how artificial intelligence and machine learning are evolving beyond bespoke applications and how SAIC is helping to enable next-generation AI capabilities for critical problem ...
This summer, we witnessed an important milestone in the history of human activity in space: on July 11, the first generative AI tool in space began operation. The tool, a large language model (LLM), aims to assist astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as ...
A pair of chief information officers for Pentagon organizations argued for a more practical approach to artificial intelligence focused on things like streamlining organizational tasks across the Defense Department.
The Air Force will likely award a contract or contracts for the first increment of Collaborative Combat Aircraft in late September or early October, sources familiar with the program said. It’s not yet been decided if the Air Force will carry one or both of ...
The Air Force’s software tools for tracking pilot skills are decades out-of-date and often rely on subjective assessments, which hinders combat readiness and wastes scarce training resources, a former F-15E fighter pilot said.
The artificial intelligence that controlled the F-16 on which Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall flew last week was evenly matched in dogfights against a human pilot with more than 2,000 flight hours, Kendall said May 8, as he made the case that autonomy will become ...
