KYIV, June 12 (Reuters) – Warfare in Ukraine and beyond faces a paradigm shift in coming years as artificial intelligence is integrated into weapons networks and accelerates decision-making on the battlefield, a senior Ukrainian military official said.<\/p>\n

Ukraine, in the \u200cfifth year of fighting a full-scale Russian invasion, is already using AI for a plethora of battlefield functions, from flying \u200cdrones at targets to helping plan combat operations and crunching data on Russian missile attacks.<\/p>\n

“AI will form a new paradigm of warfare. It’s already actively doing so,” Danylo Tsvok, \u200bthe head of the defence ministry’s AI research centre, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

He predicted AI systems would soon be unified into a single network overseeing the battlefield, leading to a “war of operating systems” with Russia in the next three to five years, if the conflict continues.<\/p>\n

“The system that possesses more data and better understands that data, proposes solutions \u2014 that system will gain the advantage over the other,” he said.<\/p>\n

The centre was founded in March as Defence Minister \u200cMykhailo Fedorov seeks to put AI and data-driven decision-making \u2060at the heart of Ukraine’s defences.<\/p>\n

Drones, still mostly flown by pilots, have already upended the way the war is being fought.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian and Russian troops launch thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a day at each other. Kyiv is \u2060also trying to solve its frontline troop shortage with ground robots.<\/p>\n

The ability of drones to constantly surveil the battlefield and hit targets with precision has accelerated the “kill chain” \u2013 the process of planning and executing a strike on the enemy. AI decision-making would speed this up even more, Tsvok said.<\/p>\n

TECHNOLOGICAL ARMS RACE<\/p>\n

Ukraine, \u200bwhose military \u200bnumbers around a million personnel, is already using AI tools in its command \u200bsystems.<\/p>\n

But Tsvok said the goal was to create a \u200csingle operating system to recommend battlefield decisions all the way up from individual…<\/p>\n
