Image Recognition
In the latest images shared by the US military on February 13, an experimental artificial intelligence (AI)-driven target recognition system can be seen mounted on an M1 Abrams tank. Advanced Targeting And Lethality Aided System (ATLAS) ProgramAdvanced Targeting & Lethality Automated System (ATLAS), despite its ominous name, is intended to assist humans in identifying threats they might have overlooked and prioritizing potential targets. The Army has been developing strategies to increase tank lethality for several years through AI and machine learning technology. The US military conducted an ATLAS system demonstration on a General Dynamics Land Systems Griffin I testbed vehicle in October 2020. The tank operator can use the ATLAS system to detect and shoot the target by making quick decisions.
