Applying Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Defense and Aerospace Applications

Applying Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Defense and Aerospace Applications

For system integrators, understanding the differences between machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, as well as the resulting benefits to the warfighter, is key to selecting the right solution. While there are many ways to apply the techniques encompassed by the artificial intelligence and machine learning umbrella, these applications require cutting-edge processing and sensor technology to maximize their effectiveness.

Currently, there are numerous discussions about how aerospace and defense organizations can leverage machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence. Driving this initiative are innovative applications that enable the warfighter to identify threats and objects from a distance, locate and resolve equipment issues before they fail, and detect unseen dangers.

As exciting as the possibilities are, understanding this technology in a growing field can be challenging. Terms are sometimes used interchangeably, and technologies are often inaccurately described, making it difficult to develop a clear understanding of their application potential.
