Balanced use of artificial intelligence

Technological development has always been extremely important to the armed forces. Its influence can be seen in weapons, sensor and platform systems, in soldiers’ equipment, in all forms of military actions and within the Defence Ministry’s own organisational operations. The role of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing too. For the Defence Ministry, AI is an […]

R&D case: LVC for Joint and Combined Air Power

Live, Virtual and Constructive elements in one training environment The challenge LVC incorporates Live, Virtual and Constructive elements into a single training environment. Conducting seamless LVC exercises remains one of the most challenging issues in modelling and simulation for modern air forces. There is insufficient interoperability, limited reuse and loose integration between the Live, Virtual […]

R&D case: Small and silent drones for mission landing zone reconnaissance

Small and silent drones for mission landing zone reconnaissance. Selecting a good landing zone in an uninhabited area requires a good and extensive exploration of the terrain by specialists. This is a time-consuming activity that sometimes has to be done in silence. Possible locations are identified using digital maps and satellite data, but that data […]
