Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Military Communications

This paper explores the field of artificial intelligence with respect to its application to military communication design problems. In particular it is shown how natural processing languages and knowledge-based system technologies can be used to reduce the required communications capacity and to improve a communication systems robustness and tolerance of errors by trading-off computation for communication. These technologies are also shown to improve the security of a military communications system operation. Other applications of artificial technology include the use of expert system technology to the operation, control and maintenance, and training areas.
