by CRC Press

As modern military operations become more complex, the need for rapid, coordinated decision-making across multiple domains—air, land, maritime, space, and cyberspace—has never been greater. The U.S. Department of War has identified artificial intelligence (AI) as a critical tool in overcoming these challenges, enabling faster and more efficient responses in high-stakes environments. However, for... Read more
