The US armed forces are training in ways to shorten the time it takes to transmit mission-critical targeting data from satellites to shooters.
The fourth Scarlet Dragon exercise, completed on 7 October, was led by the XVIII (Airborne) Corps and included observers from the UK, Australia and Canada as well as participants from all six US armed services.
Speaking to reporters at the annual AUSA exhibition in Washington DC on 11 October, COL Joseph Boccino, director of communications for the corps, said the object of the exercise was ‘using AI [artificial intelligence] to shorten the kill chain’.
The Scarlet Dragon series began in September 2020 and the latest exercise — the first to be publicised — attracted extensive industry participation.
