US NAVY
Currently , the US Navy is actively designing and developing over 1000 AI-related activities . “ I think most would be surprised to the degree at which AI is being groomed and developed within the Navy ,” Vaughan confirms . “ But a majority of those efforts reside in the R & D realm , and so in the highly-technological and competitive landscape of the modern era we are prioritising the accelerated progression of those capabilities to the fleet .”
Military applications of AI While Vaughan is limited in terms of the information he can impart on the Navy ’ s many AI projects , he is able to offer a broad perspective , including some of its use case areas . He says there are two areas where AI predominantly manifests within the US Navy : “ AI enables a certain level of autonomy in unmanned / robotic systems ( drones to most ) and also fuels a wide array of decision aids , designed to augment , improve and speed human decision-making .”
