A Blueprint to Exploiting Artificial Intelligence: How Machine Learning is Transforming the Joint Targeting Process

Abstract

As the Future Operating Environment (FOE) remains uncertain, the MOC seeks to prepare for sustained operations in the contact layer within indirect conflicts. An avenue to achieve a theory of victory in the FOE is to concentrate resources on forms of AI and machine learning. Machine learning within the Joint Force will accelerate intelligence collections and provide a competitive advantage within the contact layer by analyzing information faster, enhancing intelligence collections, and optimizing information operation by linking in-depth learning analysis to the lethal and non-lethal targeting process. The human decision will remain, yet informed machine predictions can enable faster and more efficient decision-making.
