US, UK and Australia take next step in integrating AI defense systems
The latest technology integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in "contested environments" has passed the test following trials conducted by the U.S., U.K. and Australia's military alliance, AUKUS, officials said Friday.
According to all three defense agencies in the alliance, the cutting-edge sensing technology was put to the test to determine whether UAVs could "complete their missions and preserve network connectivity" across multi-domain battlespaces, including land, maritime, air and cyberspace.
Under Pillar Two of the AUKUS agreement, all three nations are working to "harmonize" AI technologies for defense and security applications, largely in the face of growing Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific.
