Russia plans to use artificial intelligence to platoon formation for armored combat vehicles

December 3rd. In the face of a stream of armored chariots that are rushing to the battlefield, how should commanders quickly and cleverly arrange their troops and defeat the enemy? In order to solve this problem more effectively, the Russian military is developing an automatic command system that uses artificial intelligence technology to plan strategies for armored commanders.

    According to the website of the Russian Military Courier News, according to the current Russian combat regulations, armored commanders need to comprehensively refer to weather conditions, terrain characteristics, road conditions, battle conditions, enemy reconnaissance methods and weapons, etc., to command multiple armored combat vehicle arrays. . This process can take a long time.

    The report quoted the Russian Ministry of Defense as saying that in order to make faster and effective decision-making, Russian experts have expanded the functions of the automatic command system. The system can obtain information from military satellites, radars, and unmanned aerial vehicles, use artificial intelligence technology to analyze various information that the armored commander needs to comprehensively reference, and make decision recommendations using special calculation methods. For example, on a three-dimensional electronic map, several types of chariot arrangement schemes are displayed visually; the commander is instructed to move the chariot to a certain position so as not to be easily hit by the enemy and effectively attack the enemy; Reconnaissance, etc.

    It is reported that the above proposal can be submitted to the commander in the shortest time, and the latter will make the final decision. In September of this year, Russia tested this armored automatic command system during the "Central-2019" exercise.

    According to Russian media reports, in recent years the Russian army has paid great attention to the development of automatic command systems. The Russian Ministry of Defense has allocated more than 21 billion rubles (about 2.3 billion yuan) to purchase such systems, and this year began to set up an automatic command system coded "Acacia-M" for the Russian Armed Services Synthetic Army. The "Acacia-M" system can provide group army headquarters with information on the situation of the enemy and ourselves. Commanders can use this information to directly order their troops through the "Acacia-M" system.

    It is reported that in 2020 the commanders of several military regions and the combined forces of various arms in Russia will be equipped with "operational command information systems" using artificial intelligence and big data technology. In addition to giving staff suggestions, the system can also predict developments. This system is expected to enable commanders to make decisions many times faster than before.
