Judge, JUDI, and executioner? Share Copy The US Army is experimenting with machine-learning software that could be used to give tanks, trucks, and robots the ability to follow verbal orders from soldiers and communicate in natural language on the battlefield. Researchers at the Armys Combat Capabilities Development Command (aka DEVCOM) and the University of Southern California have been working on JUDI: a Joint Understanding and Dialogue Interface. This is a conversational AI system for...

(Photo : Getty Images (US Army)) The United States (US) Army is creating an innovative software that could possibly give army machinery the ability to follow verbal orders from soldiers and communicate in natural language while on the battlefield. However, currently the technology is used for search and rescue missions while its  further development is underway. This move is followed by artificial intelligence (AI) efforts made in China, crafted to outrank the US in quantum computing in a fiv...

US Army Creating New Approach to Real-Time Conversational AI With the new classification technique, the classifier would be able to properly respond to new commands and determine when to ask for help appropriately, given incomplete information. 1 minute read US Army researchers have created a pioneering technique for combat vehicles and autonomous systems to interpret the intent of a soldier through spoken dialogue and respond appropriately, the army reported on this week. With this approach ...

DoD Tackles Vehicle Cybersecurity at ‘Mad Hacks’ CYBERSECURITY 4/20/2021 Illustration: Getty The U.S. military relies on its fleet of vehicles to transport troops and gear across battlefields, but their importance could make them prime targets for cyberattacks in a future conflict. To better cyber-harden vulnerable platforms, the National Security Innovation Network — which works to attract new talent to solve defense challenges and is nestled und...

7 With convergence of Joint effects being one of the main goals of Project Convergence 21, joint interoperability was the main order of business during the second of four communications exercises planned in the lead-up to PC21. The communications exercise, which took place from April 5-15 at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s, or DEVCOM, Joint System Integration Lab on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, brought together nearly 60 technologies from the Join...

Angelo Mejia) ADELPHI, Md. -- Spoken dialogue is the most natural way for people to interact with complex autonomous agents such as robots. Future Army operational environments will require technology that allows artificial intelligent agents to understand and carry out commands and interact with them as teammates. Rese...

US Army eyes new, low-cost emitter systems for EMSO training 19 April 2021 by Carlo Munoz US Army researchers are delving into the realm of low-cost threat emitters, to assist combat units preparing to conduct operations in highly congested and contested electromagnetic spectrum war zones. Officials from US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) have begun exploring research, development, and training opportunities for these emitters at the Army Intelligence Center of Excellence...
