Artificial Intelligence Boosts Ground Threat Detection Capabilities
BAE Systems is set to unveil its newest artificial intelligence-enabled target recognition capability attached to Bradley Fighting Vehicles at the Army’s next Transformation in Contact exercise. The technology, which uses synthetic training data from BAE’s Virtual Battlespace 4 simulation engine, aims to enhance the effectiveness of soldiers in detecting ground threats. According to BAE CTO of intelligence solutions Don Widener, the capability has shown promise in testing, with human machine teaming aspects consistently outperforming traditional methods. The introduction of this technology comes as the Army continues to experiment with AI-aided target recognition tools, with the goal of integrating such capabilities into its Next Generation Command and Control program, as reported by Breaking Defense.
