Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomous

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two terms that often go hand in hand, sparking both curiosity and confusion among the tech industry. While both are essential components of the modern tech landscape, it’s crucial to understand their fundamental differences. Let’s dive into the contrast between AI and ML and better understand how they contribute to shaping our world.

ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot built on the GPT-3 large natural language model, has taken the world by storm since OpenAI launched it in November 2022. The underlying natural language model and technology powering ChatGPT has immense potential to revolutionize AI on the battlefield.

Aneesh Kothari, VP Marketing at Systel, spoke with Tom Varcie of Military Embedded Systems at the AUSA 2022 conference about Kite-Strike II, the world's first MIL-SPEC rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute solution. Tom got into the action, participating in the edge AI demonstration running live in the booth on Kite-Strike II.

Systel's Kite-Strike II embedded computer was awarded the 4-Star Best in Show Award by Military Embedded Systems at the 2022 Annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference. Kite-Strike II received the highest level award in the Embedded Computing category.

Kite-Strike II has been named Product of the Week by Military Embedded Systems. Kite-Strike II is the world's first fully rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute solution, providing next-gen performance and robust capabilities for edge AI and autonomous mission-critical applications. 

Shephard Media covered the Kite-Strike II product launch at AUSA 2022 with editorial coverage on the performance and capabilities of the product which is purpose-built for demanding edge AI workloads in austere environments for force protection, computer vision, and autonomous mission-critical applications.

Systel, an industry leader in rugged computing introduced Kite-Strike II at the 2022 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition. Kite-Strike II is a next-generation, fully rugged small form factor (SFF) embedded computing solution, providing a massive leap forward in edge-deployed AI compute technology and capabilities for unmanned and autonomous missions.

Artificial intelligence is being used to help make decisions on the battlefield, greatly reducing the cognitive burden on the warfighter and freeing them to concentrate on what is critical their mission.

Here’s the problem – there is a massive proliferation of HD sensors in the modern battlespace, creating an enormous amount of “Big Data.” Data is collected at numerous ingest points and streamed to processing nodes, providing the ability to act in real-time.

Unmanned systems have proven themselves to be a force multiplier on the battlefield, but the design and operational utilization of these complex systems comes with a unique set of computing challenges. In this blog, we look at the rugged computer requirements demanded by today’s advanced unmanned systems.

The third and final episode of the Artificial Intelligence on the Battlefield podcast looks more closely at the future of the human-machine interface.

Kevin Leitch, director of business development, discusses the AI showcase "Detect and Protect" in our booth during the 2021 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Military Embedded Systems conducted a booth interview with us during the 2021 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition. We discussed Kite-Strike, our new rugged Jetson Xavier AI mission computer, along with current deployments/applications and a recent successful demonstration at Project Convergence 2021 (PC21).
