Some Key Technologies in Artificial Intelligence for Defence Applications

摘要

With the advent of various sensor technologies and tactical communication networks, the earlier problem of 'fog of war' has been transformed into one of information overload. In this paper we review certain key technologies that will enable commanders to effectively deal with the incoming data in order to make optimal and timely decisions. These technologies range from broad areas like expert systems, natural language processing and decision support systems to more focussed areas like neural networks, genetic algorithms and multi-sensor data fusion algorithms. An ability to deploy the correct mix of these technologies will be the key to success in futuristic digital battlefields.
