Speeding up the procurement process and increasing the integration of data across the Department of Defense are part of the Pentagon's strategy to increase the use of AI and ML.
The tactical and operational benefits provided by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to armed forces have been pushing the US DoD towards seeking ways to deepen and accelerate their adoption across its services and agencies.
The department has taken several measures to reduce bureaucracy and speed up the procurement of this type of capability.
It has been also running several projects and programmes involving AI and ML and closely working with the industry. Another line of action is conducting experimentation to identify the best ways to integrate the data produced by various sources.
