Proactive Threat Detection to Minimize Casualties and Losses
Defense AI systems can be used for precise landmine and vehicle detection through the following non-contact measurement techniques:
Laser vibration sensors that detect motion changes from a distance
Infrared (IR) sensors that locate targets in darkness using temperature contrast
High-resolution cameras that capture detailed images in varying environments
By means of movement patterns and signal changes recognition, defense AI proactively identifies threats to reduce casualties, enhance battlefield transparency, and optimize resource allocation.
Increased Situational Awareness for Preemptive Actions
The merging of AESA radars, adaptive beamforming, and acoustic sensors with AI models enables the defense system to “see” or “hear” across many directions at once via radio waves or sound waves, without physically moving the sensing antennas. This advantage is pivotal for detecting and classifying fast-moving threats such as drones.
In terms of military electronic warfare, the combination of signal intelligence and AI unlocks faster, more accurate threat prediction by intercepting and analyzing electronic signals from adversaries. The system can also be used for predictive maintenance by collecting electronic signals emitted from military equipment, which provide data such as temperature and vibration metrics, and comparing such data against the machine fingerprints to detect anomalies in advance.
