The role of Artificial Intelligence and Drones in a future Air-Land Battle.
- In saturating an Air Defense System, drone swarms are becoming a rising threat, This is integrated to a strategic in-depth defense by launching ballistic missile attacks deep from within a country’s own territory. Ballistic missiles will also compensate for any deficiencies in conventional forces capability,
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is basically a computer based capability to execute human mental algorithms at super speeds.
- A fleet of Drones reinforced by AI capabilities can create an effective Force Multiplier to the operational combat power.
Targeting:
- Command, Control, Communications, Computers Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)
- Fire Control System
