The U.S. Air Force is turning to artificial intelligence to boost its wargames.
The Air Force wants a cloud-based, AI-powered “digital sandbox” as a hub to generate and run wargames at speeds of up 10,000 times faster than real time, according to a recent request for information.
The WarMatrix system aims to remedy some of the problems that have hampered defense wargaming for years, such as cumbersome, labor-intensive simulations.
“Currently, the DAF [Department of the Air Force] faces challenges including the inability to answer critical questions about capabilities, Courses of Action (COA) analysis, or costing, due to a reliance on disconnected, outdated, and vendor-locked tools,” according to the Air Force RFI, which was posted Nov. 23.
