Army modernization officials will conduct two demonstrations next week using low-Earth orbiting satellites, drones and artificial intelligence in an attempt to reduce the time it normally takes to track targets and send firing data to artillery units to fire on a threat.
"Back in the days of Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, it was probably OK to take tens of minutes identifying the target and then actually putting rounds on the target," Gen. John M. Murray, the head of Army Futures Command, said in am Army news release. "But if you look at what we envision a future battlefield to look like, it's not going to be tens of minutes. ... It is going to be hyperactive, and it's going to be widely dispersed because it's going to be exceptionally lethal."
