Welcome to The Army Brief, a weekly look at the news and ideas shaping the service’s future.
Rethinking in-flight training. A helicopter pilot has come up with an innovative way to help other pilots train during flight without adding more hardware or software to the aircraft, Defense One reports. The training uses a video camera to monitor the instrument panel and provide feedback for the pilot.
AI training. A program at Fort Bragg is trying to get soldiers and their commanders to embrace new Artificial intelligence tools so the data they are producing is used more effectively than being dumped into a PowerPoint slide, Defense One reports. Soldiers in the initial phase of the program are developing apps to meet their needs.
AUMF lives on. The Authorization for the Use of Military Force created in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks will continue to be used to conduct “over the horizon” operations against terrorist groups in Afghanistan, despite the withdrawal of troops on the ground, Defense One reports. Members of Congress have raised questions about the continued use of the AUMF and how these strikes will be conducted.
