Employing artificial intelligence to help identify targets in a simulated battle, “and then turning that into a solution"—whether it's kinetic or non-kinetic—has reportedly shortened the decision-making process from what might have taken as long as five hours to just one hour while also improving accuracy. Army ...
Held an ocean apart but simulating adjacent military forces, a virtual demonstration Oct. 18 gave the U.K. and U.S. militaries cause to project optimism over someday jointly adopting artificial intelligence “that can learn in the field.” The test represented “just the first step” on the ...

Increasing reliance on artificial intelligence to augment human decision making raises the risk of attacks targeting critical data and AI algorithms, warned the Air Force’s cyber policy chief at AFA’s Air, Space, & Cyber Conference. “If our adversary is able to inject uncertainty into any ...
Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall alluded to an event in which artificial intelligence helped to identify a target or targets in "a live operational kill chain” in his remarks at the Air Force Association’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Md., ...
The Air Force's technology innovation hub has asked technology companies, industry partners, academia, and others to "revolutionize" flight line operations. The effort—a “sequel” to AFWERX's 2020 base of the future initiative—is aimed at addressing challenges such as airfield maintenance and repair; aircraft maintenance operations; and ...
"The Department of Defense recently declared it now has a 'North Star,' with Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III’s signing of the joint all-domain command and control (JADC2) strategy. To be clear, JADC2 is not a singular program but instead a strategy designed to ...
The U.S. must adapt to the "changing character of war" or face "devastating consequences," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark A. Milley said Aug. 2. Milley said at least 40 to 50 new technologies, including unmanned systems and artificial intelligence, are ...
The Defense Department’s push to operationalize artificial intelligence, which leaders say will change the way the military conducts war but not the laws of war, is gaining momentum. More than 600 AI efforts are in progress across the department, “significantly more than just a year ...
