D-Day 80th Anniversary: Imagining the Modern D-Day As we soon commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the largest amphibious assault in history, it is both humbling and fascinating to imagine how this monumental event might look today. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched a massive operation to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control, relying on the ideas of a few, meticulous planning of hundreds, millions engaged in logistics and the war effort, the bravery of thousands and months of preparations. If such an operation were to be executed in the 21st century, it would leverage the latest technological advancements, reshaping the very cornerstones of military strategy. Modern military operations are deeply intertwined with technological innovation. The sheer scale and complexity of D-Day would today necessitate an unprecedented level of integration between different technological systems. The planning and execution phases would be heavily reliant on advanced technologies. One of the most significant changes would be the incorporation of maritime drones. These autonomous or remotely operated vehicles would play a crucial role in reconnaissance, mine clearance, and even direct combat support. #MaritimeDrones can silently and efficiently gather intelligence, providing real-time data on enemy positions, fortifications, and naval defenses. They could ensure safe landing zones by checking the seabed or detecting, and neutralizing underwater mines. They can also support special forces ashore or be used to attack enemy ports or ships. #USVs and #AUVs could be used to mislead the enemy or jam communication. We may also expect that #AI would play an important role in analyzing massive volumes of data, including intelligence, providing reliable maritime situational awareness, and even preselecting targets (AI targeting). AI-driven simulations would allow military planners to test various scenarios, preparing for contingencies that human strategists might overlook. Looking forward, the integration of AI and advanced robotics into military operations will only deepen. The continued evolution of AI promises to bring about even greater efficiency and accuracy, reshaping the operations and tactics of modern warfare. It is clear that the principles of courage, sacrifice, and strategic ingenuity remain timeless. However, the tools and technologies at our disposal have transformed dramatically. The hypothetical execution of #DDay today would be a high-tech marvel, leveraging maritime drones and AI to achieve what was once accomplished through sheer human determination. As we honor the legacy of those who fought on June 6, 1944, we shall also recognize the profound impact of technological advancements on contemporary and future military operations.

I believe that the integration of AI and autonomous technology in military operations marks a profound shift in strategy. The ability to pair human expertise with AI precision, as demonstrated by initiatives like the Collaborative Combat Aircrafts (CCAs), opens new frontiers in flexibility and firepower. The potential applications, from reconnaissance to independent target striking, not only enhance operational efficiency but also introduce a level of strategic versatility previously unseen. In terms of global security dynamics, the deployment of advanced AI-driven military technologies raises important considerations. It introduces a new dimension to warfare, where the interplay between human decision-making and AI capabilities becomes pivotal. The evolving landscape demands a careful examination of ethical, legal, and strategic implications. As we witness these advancements, it prompts crucial discussions on defining responsible use, addressing potential risks, and ensuring that technology aligns with broader international security frameworks. The collaborative efforts in the Skyborg program and the development of autonomous technologies like the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone exemplify a commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation. As these technologies continue to evolve, ongoing dialogues and international cooperation will be essential to navigate the complexities and ensure a secure and ethically sound future. #AIInMilitary #GlobalSecurityInTech 🌐🤖

DNNs are quickly becoming a conversational centerpiece for USAF leadership, especially as it pertains to air superiority. Quick backstory: In August of 2020, the championship round of DARPA's AlphaDogfight competition took place, where Heron Systems’ deep reinforcement learning software bested a human F16 pilot by a score of 5-0. The writing was on the wall. Today, the U.S. has two deep learning-based platforms jockeying for the right to pilot the first Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) fleet: the AFRL’s Autonomous Air Combat Operations (AACO), and DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE). Commonly referred to as “Loyal Wingman,” the USAF is looking to buy 1,000 CCAs to fly autonomously alongside human-piloted F-35s (the plan is 2 CCAs for every F35). And they’ve got some options; they could go the route of the RAF and use Boeing’s MQ-28 Ghost Bat (which China seemingly cloned via their Feihong FH-97A) or they could go with something smaller, like the Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie (which seems to be losing steam). Regardless of the hardware, it will be fascinating to see new software KPIs not only being referenced, but championed (i.e. inference performance, throughput, latency, etc.).  If I was a pilot, I would be taking a keen interest in improving my “Loyal Wingman’s” model performance 😉 #defensetech #deeplearning #airforce #uav #neuralnetworks #ai #darpa

No, it is not ChatGPT or GPT4 or more broadly open source large "language" models for text generation. The wily journalists of the quintessential British publication, The Economist Magazine, have an interesting article on the Southern California-based drone maker, Anduril (just established in 2017!). I have shared it for your reading pleasure. The deepest inroads of AI will be in the close source domain, comprised of four sectors where "secrecy" has and shall remain supreme: 1. Trading (hedge funds, such as Millennium, DE Shaw, Renaissance, Citadel, etc.) 2. Pharmaceuticals 3. Defense (Anduril) 4. Intelligence (Palantir) If one thing that we have learned about the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Qazza is that expensive military hardware are no match for cheap and ubiquitous drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Consider this: Iranian Shahed drones cost about $50,000 to make, yet require a battery of Patriot missiles costing millions to knock them out of sky! Furthermore, the Shahed drones are loitering swarms, meaning they are like swarms of locusts. Well, with more "focused" AI and the proliferation of defense and intelligence companies such as the drone maker, Anduril (based in Costa Mesa, California) and Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), we will see more and more AI and software-based weapons and intelligence vendors whose costs of production are a fraction of the major arms manufacturers, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and others (collectively referred to as "prime" contractors). Note that the initial squirmishness of the Silicon Valley and its startups about investing in defense and intelligence is giving rise to newly-found enthusiasm. (No one can deny that Silicon Valley owes its germination to DARPA, as much as the internet and GPS do to the US Department of Defense!) So what are the lessons for the future "non-nuclear" armed conflicts of tomorrow? I think we can list them, as follows: 1. AI and software 2. Non-human agency (meaning a drone can loiter in the sky waiting for a target, hide and then like a hawk swoop down for a quick kill of say, a Bradley Fighting Vehicle) 3. Cheap and mass-produced: 3.1. air drones 3.2. sea drones (We have the Yemeni Houthis to thank for the "field testing"!) 3.3 cruise missiles 3.4. ballistic missiles (winged ballistic missiles, provenance of the Soviet Army) 3.5. Autonomous Fighting Units (yes, non-human androids that will be the land-based version of air-based suicide drones. The alarming thing is that there will be massive lay offs in the armed forces of many nations when AFUs replace humans on the battle ground). Saudi and the UAE take notes!
