Breakout 2
The symbiosis of connectivity and artificial intelligence transforms defence infrastructure from a passive utility into a decisive operational asset. This is about cognitive dominance: harnessing machine learning and data science to accelerate decision-making and fortify network resilience. As the timeline for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) shortens, understanding its profound implications for defence has shifted from a theoretical exercise to an urgent strategic imperative.
In the physical domain, this intelligence translates directly into capacity and effectiveness. Armed forces are rapidly deploying uncrewed, autonomous capabilities to prosecute targets at speed and generate overwhelming force. However, this reliance on autonomy opens a new front in the war for the spectrum: a contested environment defined by Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electronic Countermeasures (ECM).
