C4ISR: TED MACIUBA

摘要

Deputy director of robotics requirements, U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence. The Army wants to explore the ways in which robots, artifical intelligence and autonomous systems could supplement, aid and transform ground power. Among the service's more ambitious ideas: is it possible for Al to enable a platoon to take on a force 10 times its size? The hypothesis put forth by Ted Maciuba, deputy director of robotics requirements at the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, is that Al and robots will offer such an outsized advantage to infantry that a given force could face a similarly equipped rival that is an order of magnitude larger (minus the robots and Al) and come out on top. To test these hypotheses, Maciuba plans to host a September 2020 demonstration at Fort Benning, Georgia, with industry supplying machines, software and other tools to test.
