About this report
Artificial intelligence has moved from experimental add-on to a central determinant of military advantage. Nations are now competing not only in platforms and firepower, but in how quickly and reliably their forces can interpret complex environments, coordinate across domains and act under pressure.
What distinguishes defence AI from its civilian counterpart is not sophistication alone, but the demands of contested, adversarial conditions: systems must operate through cyber disruption, electronic interference and incomplete information, delivering insight without eroding human judgment or legal responsibility.
