The first AUKUS artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomy trial organised by Dstl saw the inaugural joint deployment of Australian, UK and US AI-enabled assets in a collaborative system to detect and track military targets in a representative environment in real time. Accelerating the development of these technologies will have a massive impact on coalition military capability. The trial achieved several world firsts, including the live retraining of models in flight and the interchange of AI models between AUKUS nations. AUKUS is looking to rapidly drive these technologies into military capabilities. Dstl is a proven national asset, giving the UK clear advantage across science, technology, cyber and information.
