Inspiration for Battlefield Situation Cognition from AI Military Programs Launched by DARPA of USA and Development of AI Technology

Battlefield situation intelligent cognition is very important for the warfare, but this kind of technology is very hard for breakthrough. ‘Deep Green’ program which is launched by DARPA of USA to study military intelligent command and operation for modern warfare is unsuccessful. The key problem is that the technology of battlefield situation intelligent cognition is no breakthrough. Later on, USA pays more attention to the AI technology applied in the military filed, especially in the cognition intelligence aspect. The supported money from DARPA is increased apparently year by year. As some new technologies, such as Big Data and Bayesian Deduction, especially Deep Learning technology, are presented, and these new technologies are applied in the wider and wider range of domains, the development of the AI technology takes a big step forward. We also find some researches on the Deep Learning technology is applied in the situation cognition. Therefore, some significant inspirations for battlefield situation cognition in the military domain can be brought to us. In the paper, the main AI military programs launched by DARPA are combed and analyzed. Big Data, Bayesian Deduction and Deep Learning contained by the AI technology are introduced. Especially, the research status of Deep Learning and its applications in the situation cognition are generalized. On the basis of that, the researches on the military battlefield situation cognition based on the AI technology are prospected according to some relative knowledge.
