# The US and Germany have intensified the integration of AI into the military sector

The German army is working on integrating artificial intelligence to accelerate decision-making in wartime conditions. Reuters reports this, citing a statement from the Chief of the Armed Forces, Christian Freuding.

The system is supposed to analyze battlefield data faster than humans and learn from the experiences of Ukraine and other armies, according to the lieutenant general.

He shared insights from his visits to Ukrainian command posts, where drones and modern sensors have significantly increased the amount of data collected.

“The Ukrainians have been using information gathered over four years of war. Based on this, AI can determine how the enemy has acted in similar situations in the past and suggest countermeasures,” he said.

Freuding noted that tasks currently requiring hundreds of personnel and several days to complete can be greatly accelerated with artificial intelligence. According to him, traditional methods alone are not enough to “break the cycle of enemy decision-making.”

The military officer proposed using data from Ukraine and German exercises to calibrate analytical tools. He emphasized that AI will be used solely as an auxiliary tool to support human decision-making.

A specific service has not yet been chosen, but integrating the technology is a priority.

Freuding also highlighted the importance of aligning Germany’s AI systems with evolving NATO standards.

“I believe we need to launch a working solution as soon as possible. Of course, issues of data sovereignty and security must be considered,” he added.

The US is already implementing

The Pentagon also plans to accelerate decision-making with artificial intelligence and make it a central element of its strategy to unify sensors and strike systems in combat operations.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Fainberg stated that granting the Maven Smart System from Palantir Technologies the status of “program of record” will ensure “stable funding and resources” necessary for development, integration, and combat operations.

The US armed forces are already using the Maven mission management platform across all commands. It provides a battle map, helps identify and select targets, and matches them with weapon systems.

It is reported that the system is widely used in Iran.

Recall that in February, media reports revealed the use of the AI tool Claude in a military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
