The Army’s future optionally manned fighting vehicles may have the ability to recognize potential targets, according to a service official.
This capability gained more exposure during the service’s recent technology demonstration dubbed Project Convergence. During the event, which wrapped up in September, the Army explored the idea of using artificial intelligence to analyze information gathered from sensors so soldiers could make a decision on whether or not to attack a potential target.
Brig. Gen. Richard Coffman, director of the next-generation combat vehicle cross-functional team at Army Futures Command, said he expects companies to also prioritize this feature in their design submissions in the later stage of the optionally manned fighting vehicle, or OMFV, competition. The platform is intended to replace the Bradley.
