Lockheed Martin CTO Craig Martell told Axios that future warfare will rely on human‑machine teaming, not fully autonomous cognition. He emphasized that operators must train alongside AI systems to understand their limits and assume responsibility for any errors. Martell cited a pilot‑swarm concept as a model, while noting the Army’s recent delivery of its first autonomous Black Hawk helicopter developed with a Lockheed subsidiary. The remarks underscore a shift toward integrated, accountable AI in combat operations.
