Artificial intelligence (AI) in the military electronics industry is growing at a surreal rate. Recent innovations in various fields have coincided to bring the most powerful advancements in computing, sensor technology, and software to mission-critical scenarios. Just as GPUs continue to outpace Moore’s law in terms of raw compute power, new sensor and networking interfaces bring larger and larger data sets in need of computing. These new technologies provide a key opportunity to bring the power of commercial and scientific AI advancements to military-transportable installations. The primary distinctions (and obstacles) between civilian data center-type AI applications and military-transportable deployments are the environmental, power, and security requirements of the missions.
