In Modern Conflict, Speed Wins. AI Will Help America Win That Race.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent memo declares that speed is the decisive factor in modern warfare, urging a rapid transformation of military AI capabilities. The Department of Defense is accelerating AI integration across command, control, and weapons systems to outpace adversaries. New funding streams and streamlined acquisition processes aim to shrink development cycles from years to months. Partnerships with tech firms and academia are being leveraged to embed AI at the tactical level faster than ever before.
