1. Introduction
In the new round of research and application of machine learning craze, world military powers-related institutions have to track and evaluate the technical high ground machine learning and strengthen strategic consulting, technology research, and military applications efforts. Each country's national defense departments develop machine learning research applications at the same time. Machine learning also enhance the effectiveness of the various branches construction and operational aspects gradually multiplier from operations, networks, reconnaissance, logistics, medical, simulation, and data on the situation
The future development of military technology has extremely high value and research significance. Because of this, we carried out global military machine learning technology development tracking and evaluation research, summarized the global military machine learning technology development status, analyzed its main technology development path, studied its development trend, analyzed the global military machine learning technology typical military application cases and development prospects.
2. Military background analysis
In recent years, artificial intelligence is increasing widely recognized to be able to "change the future war" disruptive technology direction. The world's military powers compete fiercely around the commanding heights of artificial intelligence technology. The United States has successively introduced artificial intelligence national strategies and military strategies, established core units for the implementation of artificial intelligence military strategies, and actively developed intelligent military equipment to capture a new round of military power absolute advantage over the competition.
At the same time, Russia, Japan, India and other countries also have developed artificial intelligence to enhance the development of national and military strategic level, innovation and infrastructure investment to increase artificial intelligence, to carry out theoretical and applied research in the field of artificial intelligence and enhance military combat capability based on artificial intelligence.
Throughout the development of the US military in various fields, 'it basically has followed a relatively scientific development method, including the formulation of a strategic system, the building of core forces, the support of capabilities and means and the implementation of combat missions. At present, the US military is gradually improving its artificial intelligence military strategy, building an artificial intelligence military talent training system, promoting the development of artificial intelligence military-civilian integration and actively developing artificial intelligence-based means in various military fields.
3. Artificial intelligence strategy evaluation
According to the US National Defense Strategy (NDS), the US Department of Defense (DoD) established the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) and released Artificial Intelligence Strategy for US DoD (Mattis, 2018a). The U.S. DoD's artificial intelligence strategy mainly describes four strategic critical areas of planning.
3.1 Increase the establishment of artificial intelligence research projects for military scenarios
In the entire US defense body system, they increase military research projects in software development and Internet research technology demonstration efforts, reserve strategic data resources in the field of artificial intelligence, create and provide a safe controlled the massive defense data. They formulate AI policies standards and use AI to optimize the daily business workflow of the US military.
3.2 Cooperate with leading US civilian technology sector and academia in allay countries
With the introduction of leading business of artificial intelligence, they ensure the safety situation of their country top inside and outside of the tip technology manufacturers cooperation. They make full use of artificial intelligence algorithms form a military solution and through the development is carried out in co-operation with leading businesses, manufacturers and academic institutions in the fields of artificial intelligence to ensure national security.
3.3 Vigorously train military artificial intelligence technicians
Although the Artificial Intelligence can not replace people like, it can reduce repetitive tasks. By artificial intelligence technology training US forces, they strengthen computer language learning technology in the defense system. And the AI training is popular with staff and improves recruitment.
3.4 Research on military ethics and artificial intelligence security
AI's ethical, moral and legal are related to the United States national military development direction. US Joint Center for Artificial Intelligence will ensure full discussion to resolve ethical issues with the use of AI between military and non-traditional partners.
4. Current status of military research on machine learning
The military application of artificial intelligence (AI) will profoundly affect the outcome of future wars, and it is also related to a country's international status. Relevant institutions of the world's military powers have tracked and evaluated the commanding heights of machine learning technology, and continuously strengthened consulting, research and application efforts. Tracking and evaluating the global military machine learning strategy shows The United States JAIC coordinated machine learning research work, promoted machine learning to quickly empower key operational tasks, established a general machine learning infrastructure for the DoD, coordinated machine learning research at the DoD level, and attracted and cultivated first-class talent team (Hoadley and Lucas, 2018).
US Defense Innovation Unit integrated into the Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem's priority is to promote the work in computer vision, large database analysis and forecasting, and strategic reasoning in three areas by introducing the latest machine learning techniques to help American business fast development of machine learning equipment (Mori, 2018).
Military Industrial Commission for the Russian government issued its AI equipment plan 2025 years ago. During the last three years, the Russian armed forces set up ten large research institutes and centers. They researched various fields including artificial intelligence, robotics, and drones, to conduct research on military technology and equipment automation.
2020 December 16th, the Russian Ministry for Digital Development released the AI preliminary list of items which will be implemented in four ministries and three government departments in Russia. The list details the projects to be implemented from 2023 to 2024. The government will allocate funds to government agencies implementing AI projects as part of its digital transformation plan. The total cost of the agency's digital transformation plan may be as high as tens of billions of rubles (Элья^ 2020).
At the meeting of the Council of the Russian Ministry of Defense on December 21, 2020, Russian President Putin stated that he was convinced that the future use of artificial intelligence in weapons control will largely determine the outcome of the war. The meeting also identified the Russian Defense Ministry's five main priorities for the near future, which the fifth focuses on the development of weapons and equipment with artificial intelligence elements, including robotic systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and automatic control systems (TASS 2020).
In short, a series of measures have been taken to promote the military application of artificial intelligence, such as focusing on the top-level design of the national strategy and issuing a series of intelligence development strategic plans. They deploy various military intelligence research projects. They focus on breakthroughs in core and key technologies to lay a solid foundation for military intelligence development. In particular, the U.S. DoD has accelerated the militarization of artificial intelligence applications, and actively improved the functional efficiency of the U.S. DoD through its potential through empowerment rather than replace military personnel through artificial intelligence information systems. And they especially established the JAIC to coordinate and promote the military research of artificial intelligence.
In the military application of machine learning at this stage, especially the extensive and in-depth research on unmanned systems, machine learning has shown strong superiority. Simultaneously, in the future, human machine fusion intelligence will have more significant advantages than machine learning. Human-machine fusion intelligence will occupy an increasing proportion in the military field. Human-machine fusion intelligence will also urge the rapid development of new technologies in the military field to achieve high levels of humanity. The integration of aircraft will also be an inevitable requirement for the development of the military field.
Especially the human mind and cognitive style as intersubjectivity made the AI carry out their duties and promote each other. The intelligent man-machine fusion has in the military field broad prospects.
At present, most countries are at the stage of technical and theoretical preparations, and the US military has seized the lead in AI construction. Various signs indicate that the overall informatization construction of the U.S. military is about to be completed. Artificial intelligence technology has entered a mature period and is widely used in the civilian field. The U.S. military's intelligence construction has begun to accelerate. The goal is for most countries to follow the US Military's lead in the use of Artificial Intelligence by 2045. Once breakthroughs occur in key technologies, the U.S. military's AI construction will be accelerated in an all-round way, and the overall combat capability will be greatly improved. Global military machine learning research prospects and cases are shown in Table 2.
