US ARMY FORECASTS 5 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE FOR AI NEEDS

摘要

U.S. Army Futures Command has outlined 11 areas of artificial intelligence research it's interested in over the next five years, emphasizing data analysis, autonomous systems, security and decision-making assistance. Potential research detailed in the command's announcement last month would support Army and Defense Department work to connect sensors and shooters across the battlefield. Artificial intelligence will be key to that effort for analyzing data and assisting commanders with their decision-making process. The service is particularly interested in AI research of autonomous ground and air platforms, "which must operate in open, urban and cluttered environments," according to the announcement from the command's Artificial Intelligence Integration Center. The office asked for research into technologies that allow robots or autonomous systems to move in contested urban locations with reduced electromagnetic profiles. The command also wants to know more about AI to sense obscure targets and understand terrain obstacles.
