The United States Army will develop an anti -Didish system driven by artificial intelligence which will be designed to give infantry troops a “critical layer” of protection on the battlefield, detecting and identifying drones before they become a threat.
This system, called ‘detection and recognition of objectives for artificial intelligence’ (AITDR), will be created thanks to an association between the US army and the Duality AI company. But how will it work? Using the Duality Falcon Simulation Platform, engineers will train artificial intelligence to be able to recognize the threats of drones with millimeter precision In a wide range of realistic scenarios.
Therefore, the simulated environment will grant the “freedom” to prove, adjust and optimize the system from all angles, taking into account that the Falcon platform will create and will simulate a wide range of scenariosincorporating various drones, environments and visual conditions. However, as the project progresses, the Army will evaluate how several drone detection situations can be explored to validate possible solutions.
The US AI system can face several challenges
To build AITDR, Duality AI teams and the United States Army Research Laboratory will first use Falcon data to shape the initial artificial intelligence model. In this way, subsequently, the AI It will be tested in rapid movement and high pressure virtual environments that will reflect the realities of a fight.
According to the newspaper Nextgendense, “this approach allows the equipment to face the challenges from the beginning: adjust the sensor configurations, explore extreme cases and improve the recognition of threats, all without waiting for physical systems to be updated.”
In addition, Michael Taylor, co -founder and product director of Duality AI, affirms to the mentioned environment that “Falcon’s complete control over simulation environments gives the army the ability to train and Test the AITDR model in complex conditionsexplore various drone detection scenarios and validate possible simulation solutions, even before physical hardware is ready for field tests. “
In the next phase, the focus moves to refinement, thus, the model can be adjusted to achieve greater precision and Synchronize simulation parameters with real world conditions.
And once ready, AITDR will be integrated into the XM30the next generation infantry vehicle of the army designed to replace the M2 Bradley fleet.
