Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Defense and Aerospace Applications - What You Need to Know

Today, there are many discussions about how defense and aerospace organizations can take advantage of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). Driving this excitement are innovative applications that help warfighters identify threats and objects from afar, locate and resolve equipment issues before failures occur, and detect unseen dangers. Some of the more extreme possibilities sound like they were taken directly from a science fiction movie.

As exciting as the possibilities are, understanding the technologies in this growing field can be challenging. Terms are sometimes used interchangeably and technologies are sometimes described in inaccurate ways, making it difficult to develop a clear understanding of the application potential. So, well start with the terminology.
