Artificial Intelligence space is gaining momentum and with more limelight, people are only wondering about its limits. The geopolitical arena is filled with the tensions between US-China and Russia-Ukraine war. In this game, superior AI will surely give an edge and that’s what the US is trying to achieve as it seeks an AI platform that can predict what the enemy is going to do minutes or even hours before the enemy does it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
“Real-Time Threat Forecasting” is one such project working to achieve this vision of the US Army. According to a recent Request for Information (RFI) quoted by the news platform Business Insider<\/i>Real-Time Threat Forecasting calls for “continuous, real-time predictive visualization of how the threat situation could evolve over the next few minutes to hours.”<\/p>\nProcess massive amounts of data<\/h2>\n
author MICHAEL PECK<\/i> describe it simply and say the AI system<\/a> will basically process a whopping amount of data to forecast the possible options with the enemy and how they may decide their course of action. The objective is to also allow it to forecast the possible moves of the enemy or even alert beforehand if there is any change in the strategy.<\/p>\n The basic requirement of an AI system is the “ability to run feasible software on a standard laptop and take advantage of emerging artificial intelligence and\/or machine learning technologies.”<\/p>\n The complexity of warfare has grown over the past few years and is expected to rise further with the advent of artificial intelligence. Even in the Russia-Ukraine war, the tactical use of drone technology by both countries has showcased that the future of warfare is totally different from our imagination.<\/p>\n US Army predicts a “hyperactive” battlefield with “robotics and autonomous systems, loitering intelligent munitions, thousands of semi-autonomous entities, short-range point defenses, AI\/ML-enabled multi-INT deceptions, small, distributed Soldier-Machine Teams, and self-organizing intelligence networks,” the RFI said.<\/p>\n The military is barraged with intelligence from all around the world and the growing technology<\/a> is widening the scope of data collection. It becomes crucial to put all this data into effective use and expect the enemy to keep changing its tactics. The intelligence can’t “assume an enemy whose behavior can be modeled via a doctrinal template,” says the Army RFI.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t <\/p>\nHyperactive battlefield<\/h2>\n
