The Battlefield of the Future is Shaped by Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) CEO Boaz Levy announced in an interview that the battlefield of the next decade will be equipped with artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and uninterrupted communication networks.

Autonomous Systems and AI

It was stated that autonomous capabilities will come to the forefront in future military operations, and the burden on soldiers will be alleviated through robots. Artificial intelligence algorithms will play a critical role in analyzing large data pools.

Space Technologies and Satellites

Emphasizing that IAI is positioned as a space superpower, the strategic importance of Ofek reconnaissance satellites and Dror communication satellites was highlighted. Space-based systems will form the foundation of future operations.

Urban Warfare and Common Networks

Anticipating that future wars will take place within cities, it was stated that the civilian population, security and rescue forces, hospitals, and banks must be coordinated through the same data network.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Threats

It was noted that detection and multi-layered prevention systems are of vital importance against UAV threats, and within this scope, kinetic vehicles, electronic warfare, and laser technologies will be utilized.
