US Army Artificial Intelligence Innovation Institute (A2I2) Aiding Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)

Abstract

Conflict has been a reoccurring event throughout recorded history. The underlying political goals, the catalysts needed for conflict, typically fall into six broad categories: security, religion, ideological differences, self-determination, strategic objectives, and territory/resources. As technology has evolved, the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for conducting conflict have adapted accordingly. Although the TTPs have adapted, the resulting destruction and ruin of infrastructure has remained consistent throughout the ages. US peer and near-peer competitors are fielding multilayered systems to simultaneously fight across multiple domains: space, cyber, air, sea, and land. To maintain friendly operations, the United States faces the challenge of defeating these multilayered systems designed to operate across multiple domains. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to defeat these multilayered systems and fundamentally change how conflict is conducted.
