The Pentagon’s grand plans for Joint All Domain Command & Control require translating masses of data across incompatible systems. “Unless you get the underpinnings of a foundational data fabric,” Maj. Gen. Peter Gallagher told me, “it will never happen.”
The Army will soon hold live-fire tests of an AI that can algorithmically spot targets and aim at them -- but a human still has to pull the trigger. Will ATLAS let future tanks fight better with smaller crews?
Breaking Defense Europe will launch May 4 with Tim Martin and Elisabeth Gosselin-Malo as co-editors.
The Army plans to deploy more of the thermal sensors, originally developed to spot targets at night.
The militarized Microsoft HoloLens headset was designed to spot targets day and night on future battlefields. Then engineers tweaked its infrared sensors to detect fevers.
Army foot soldiers are going into battle with more and more electronics, wirelessly networked both to each other and to distant command posts. So can GI Joe be hacked?
The experimental turret will use the technology — and the safeguards — from the Army’s ATLAS project, originally misrepresented in the media as building "killer robots."
Do more with less: streamline workflows, reduce duplication, invest upfront to save long-term.
Alarming headlines to the contrary, the US Army isn't building robotic "killing machines." What they really want artificial intelligence to do in combat is much more interesting.
